The 2-0 New York Giants continue to ascend in the NFL Power Rankings.

How about those undefeated New York Giants? They’re 2-0 for the first time in seven years after a strong defensive effort against the New Orleans Saints.

It’s only two games and can still come crashing down at some point, but forgive fans for basking in their early success after a few disappointing years. They checked in at number 15 in the NFL Power Rankings after beating the Cowboys last week, and they’ve moved up even further in Week 3. Check out the latest rankings below:

The offense hasn’t hit its stride yet either. If the defense can continue to play at a high level while Odell Beckham and company catch up, Big Blue is an early NFC East Favorite.

Next: Giants/Saints: Quick Returns

The Washington Redskins (0-2) visit East Rutherford next week. Throw out the win-loss records, NFC East teams usually play each other tough. Expect OBJ versus Josh Norman II to raise the stakes.
