Things Ar Not As Bad As They Seem
Our opponent the Rams had the most recent longest losing streak in NFL history. The Rams were .500 or less for 13 consecutive seasons. That streak finally broke in 2017 when they went 11-5 and lost in the wildcard round. The next season they were in the Super Bowl. The worst such streak for the Giants was 10 seasons from 1971-1980. The current Giant woes are no way near the magnitude of those teams.The last decade saw the Giants with two streaks of only three seasons each of .500 or less. That was preceded by a twelve years of three Super Bowl appearances with two Super Bowl wins.
