Currently, the New York Giants have an interesting situation at the running back position.

Rob Gronkowski Eyes Indianapolis for Another Big Performance

While Matthew Stafford—complete with backwards cap and all—might be just arrogant enough to claim he’s the proverbial “cat’s pajamas,” this week, the title belongs to none other than Brandon Pettigrew.

Time to Walk the Plank With Buccaneers' Mike Evans?
