The New York Giants have been among the NFL's worst teams this season, making them one of the runaway candidates to land one of the top picks of the 2025 draft. However, something happened on Sunday that may have reduced their chances.
On Sunday, they eliminated the Indianapolis Colts from the playoff race with a 45-33 victory, their first at home this season.
Drew Lock, who was elevated to starting quarterback in the wake of Daniel Jones' midseason departure, was simply dominant, completing 17 of 23 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Half of those scores went to rookie wideout Malik Nabers, who covered a career-best 171 yards to breach the thousand-yard mark.
Meanwhile, the defense had two sacks and two interceptions and recovered a fumble by Indianapolis quarterback Joe Flacco, who completed 26 of 38 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns. The defeat spoiled a dominant day for Jonathan Taylor, who rushed 32 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns.
