The New York Giants didn't play in Week 14.
They still got some great news for the future of their franchise as it pertains to the 2026 NFL Draft order.
After Sunday's results, the Giants now hold the No. 1 spot in the order:

The big development in Sunday's games was the win by the Tennessee Titans over the Cleveland Browns.
The Titans had previously been the only team in the league with one win and were on track to get the top pick for the second year in a row after using it on Cam Ward this past April.
Now, the Giants hold a slim edge, and this could come down to strength of schedule tiebreakers unless one of those bottom dwellers goes on a surprise winning run.
The Giants, of course, wouldn't need to use the top pick on a quarterback since they have Jaxson Dart. That would put them in a position of power, potentially to trade down for whoever the highest bidder is to move up and get their QB of choice.
New York would likely not drop that far and would still end up with a hugely talented player, along with more potential draft assets. In a lost season for the Giants, landing a pick at or near the top of the draft can help provide a jolt heading into 2026.
