Just a few weeks ago, the Detroit Lions were 1-6 and fans were looking at the 6-1 Giants for guidance. How had this team, who had just changed their head coach and general manager back in January—and didn’t seem to have that much of a better roster than Detroit—already be so far ahead in their rebuild?
It was a fair question to ask then, and it’s still a fair question to ask now, even with Detroit rattling off a couple wins of their own.
Is this Giants team really that far ahead of Detroit? Are they overperforming?
