Giants PFF grades: Best and worst performers from Week 17 loss vs. Rams

The New York Giants dropped to 5-11 on the season following a 26-25 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at MetLife Stadium in Week 17 — a game they had several opportunities to win.

Ultimately, the Giants failed to survive their many self-inflicted wounds and pushed the potential game-winning field goal wide left following a final offensive series filled with curious play calls.

Here’s a look at the best and worst performers, courtesy of PFF, from the Week 17 defeat.
