NFL fans react to Brady's Week 1 power rankings snubbing Giants

Summary

Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season concluded with Tom Brady releasing his power rankings. Fans reacted strongly to the omission of the New York Giants, who defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Brady's top 10 rankings included teams that all won their games, generating backlash from fans who believe the Giants deserved a place after their performance. Despite the criticism, Brady's rankings are part of his new role with Fox Sports, having signed a historic deal with the network. The Giants will face the Los Angeles Rams next, aiming to secure a win to potentially prove Brady wrong.
