12. New York Giants 5-3 (14)
The New York Giants may not be world beaters but they are finding ways to win. Despite early struggles in the season for receiver Odell Beckham Jr., quarterback Eli Manning is finding him the ball now.
They defeated the Eagles 28-23 on Sunday, holding on after a 14-0 early lead disappeared. Manning went 22-36 with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Mistakes continue to hurt Manning but he is making more good plays than bad. They now sit just two games behind the Cowboys, the team that can thank their only loss to the Giants in week one.
The Giants now have a chance to win some games outside of their division. They host the Bengals on Monday Night Football next week and then host the Chicago Bears the following week. Then it is off on the road to Cleveland, a good stretch of games to make the Cowboys squirm a little.
