New York Giants’ injury dynasty comes to an end

What do those words from Football Outsiders mean, and why were they good news for the New York Giants in 2016?

AGL is “Adjusted Games Lost, and it is Football Outsiders’ way of tracking which teams are the most injury-riddled in the NFL during any individual season. From 2013-2015, the Giants were the league leaders in this rather ignominious, devastating category.

No so last season. In Ben McAdoo’s first season as head coach the Giants were among the league’s healthiest teams, seventh in overall AGL.

... you really didn't expect the New York Giants to be the league's most injured team for the fourth year in a row, did you?
