NFL teams facing unfortunate circumstances this season

#2 New York Giants

The New York Giants have been one of the most unlucky NFL teams this season, but for a much different reason than the Lions. The Giants have unfortunately been hit with a ton of injuries. They came into Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys already missing key players like Andrew Thomas, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton, but it got even worse on Sunday.
