Whether it was Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito or Tim Boyle under center, the Giants continued to lose and came into Sunday with the worst record in the NFL. On Sunday, Lock and Malik Nabers were ready to do everything they could to get the Giants back in the win column.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-drew-lock-blows-new-yorks-tank-5-td-game-out-of-nowhere">Lock and Nabers both had the best game of their careers</a> in this one to give the Giants a 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts to improve to 3-13 on the season. Lock finished this game with an incredible statline: 17-for-23 with 309 yards and four touchdowns. Lock also scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown with just under three minutes left to give the Giants a two-score lead and salt the game away.</p><p>Lock finished this game with an EPA per play of +1.18, which is an absolutely absurd number. By that metric, Lock played the best game of the season by any quarterback in the NFL, not just for the Giants and the <a href="https://x.com/Doug_Analytics/status/1873480442009292901" rel="noopener">sixth best game</a> since 1999, according to Doug Analytics on X, formerly Twitter. For reference, Josh Allen’s EPA per play this season is 0.321, and he is the favorite to win the MVP. Allen and Lamar Jackson are the only players with a season-long mark above 0.3.</p><p>Now, you may be wondering who the five quarterbacks ahead of Lock were, even though none were Giants. Well, the list is pretty impressive:</p><p>Peyton Manning (2007)</p><p>Phillip Rivers (2007)</p><p>Lamar Jackson (2019)</p><p>Peyton manning (2002)</p><p>Tom Brady (2007)</p><p>That’s quite the company for Lock to be in, especially in a game that didn’t mean all that much for the Giants. In fact, some Giants fans may have been hoping for a loss, as Sunday’s win knocks them out of the top spot in the NFL Draft for now. As it stands, The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-brian-daboll-strong-statement-ends-10-game-losing-streak">Giants are down to the third overall pick</a> with one week to play, and will fall to fourth if the Cleveland Browns lose on Sunday afternoon.</p><p>Lock found Nabers all over the field on Sunday, as the star Giants receiver had a career day. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-malik-nabers-tyrone-tracy-pull-off-feat-done-only-2-times-nfl-history">Nabers caught six passes in this one</a> for 168 yards and two touchdowns, finally getting a chance to showcase his explosiveness and ability to turn any short pass into a long touchdown after the catch.</p><p>Lock has had a difficult year for the Giants, as has everyone else in New York, but Sunday was an all-time masterpiece that will live forever as one of the top games by a quarterback in recent history.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although he can talk shop about the Raptors and Ravens all day, what's really always on his mind is having finished his undergrad without having won a single fantasy or intramural league.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">New York Giants</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>In one of the most unexpected performances of the season, New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock delivered a career-best game against the Indianapolis Colts, throwing four touchdown passes and <a href="https://x.com/Connor_J_Hughes" rel="noopener">running in a fifth to lead</a> the Giants to a 42-33 victory (per SNYtv’s Connor Hughes). Lock, who has spent much of his NFL career battling inconsistency, looked like a different player on Sunday, finishing 17-of-23 for 309 yards and four scores through the air, capped off by a five-yard rushing touchdown on third-and-goal.</p><p>The win marked the first time the Giants scored 40 points in a game since Week 16 of the 2019 season, during Daniel Jones’ rookie year. Despite the offensive explosion, the victory comes with bittersweet implications for a team in rebuild mode.</p><p>Entering Week 17 with a league-worst 2-13 record, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-vs-giants-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-17-2024" rel="noopener">the underdog Giants</a> appeared to have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft all but locked up. A win, however, has thrown that into jeopardy. With their third victory, New York is now tied with multiple teams at the bottom of the standings. While the exact draft order is not entirely clear at the time of this article’s writing, the Giants are no longer guaranteed the top pick. This could cost them a shot at drafting a generational prospect, particularly if Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is in their sights. And unless the front office chooses to be disillusioned by this slight Drew Lock resurgence, that is in all likelihood what their sights on set on (although this is the New York Giants who drafted Jones with the #6 pick in the 2019 draft and let Saquon Barkely walk last offseason, so who really knows).</p><p>Adding to the chaos, the Colts’ playoff hopes evaporated with the loss. A victory would have given Indianapolis a 22% chance of sneaking into the postseason, but they have now been mathematically eliminated from contention.</p><p>Lock’s breakout performance is a reminder of the tantalizing potential he’s flashed throughout his NFL career. Drafted in the second round by the Denver Broncos in 2019, Lock showed promise early, winning four of his first five starts. However, inconsistency, injuries, and turnover issues derailed his tenure in Denver. He was traded to Seattle as part of the blockbuster deal for Russell Wilson in 2022 but saw little playing time behind Geno Smith.</p><p>Signed by the Giants this offseason as a backup and bridge option, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-new-york-makes-another-qb-change-latest-drew-lock-move" rel="noopener">Lock hadn’t done much</a> to inspire confidence—until Sunday. His performance was nothing short of electric, showcasing poise in the pocket, accuracy on deep throws, and surprising mobility. His connection with wide receivers Jalin Hyatt and Darius Slayton was particularly noteworthy, as both players scored touchdowns and topped 80 yards receiving.</p><p>The Giants’ 42-point outing was a breath of fresh air for a franchise that has struggled offensively for years. Before Sunday, New York hadn’t scored 40 points since a 41-35 overtime win against Washington in December 2019, during Daniel Jones’ first season. That game, like this one, came late in a lost season but offered a glimpse of what could be. Will this time be another false glimmer of hope?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite dealing with shoulder injury concerns, Brian Daboll <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1871610717050118214" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> that Lock would be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts, per Jordan Raanan.</p><p>Lock has started three of the team’s five games since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-release-daniel-jones-after-turning-to-tommy-devito">cutting ties with Daniel Jones</a>. He missed Week 15 with an arm injury but returned the following game and is set to close out the disastrous 2024 season. Tommy DeVito will likely serve as his backup with Tim Boyle as the emergency third-string.</p><p>In his three starts of 2024, Lock has gone 0-3, contributing to the team’s franchise-worst 10-game losing streak. With the Giants on track to obtain the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, their offseason cannot come quickly enough.</p><p>Lock is coming off his worst game of the season in Week 16. He led the Giants’ offense to score just seven points — tying a season low — while committing three turnovers, two of which were returned for touchdowns.</p><p>After facing the Colts in Week 17, the Giants will end 2024 on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lock would expect to start that game as well, though nothing can be promised, as New York’s quarterbacks have been weekly mainstays on the injury report.</p><h2><b>Giants on track for worst season in franchise history</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Drew-Lock_fe7d67.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>As one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, the Giants have a long history that includes both success and failure. However, they have never before gone 2-15, a record they seem destined to end up with by the end of the season.</p><p>Entering Week 17 at 2-13, New York has nothing to play for other than its draft position, which continues to improve with each game. Both the Colts and Eagles have playoff implications in their upcoming matchups, heavily implying the result of the games before they even kick off.</p><p>If the Giants end up with the top overall pick in April 2025, it will mark their first time making the first selection since 1965. However, while they did not have the top pick in 2004, they were able to acquire Eli Manning, whom the San Diego Chargers took first overall, from that draft class in exchange for Philip Rivers.</p><p>Once the draft rolls around, many expect the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/4-way-too-early-targets-giants-2025-nfl-draft">Giants to select either Shedeur Sanders</a> from Colorado or Cam Ward from Miami. Sanders and Ward are viewed as the top two quarterbacks of the class, which most believe has been the team’s biggest need for a handful of years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After the Last Vegas Raiders knocked off the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, the Giants now sit alone as the team with the worst record in the NFL at 2-13 and are in the diver’s seat to earn the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>If they hadn’t already, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-new-new-york-makes-brutal-franchise-history-hapless-loss-falcons">Giants certainly hit rock bottom</a> on Sunday when they were blown out by the Atlanta Falcons in a 34-7 rout. The Giants’ defense couldn’t get a stop even against an offense that was playing quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in his first career start, and the offense consistently failed to move the ball against a Falcons defense that has not performed very well for most of the season.</p><p>Now, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-new-york-2025-nfl-draft-destiny-wild-turn-raiders-win">Giants fans have their sights set on the NFL Draft</a>, but they need their team to drop two more games to get there with the top pick. The team took another hit on Sunday when quarterback Drew Lock suffered a shoulder injury that is <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1871250498181070935" rel="noopener">currently being evaluated</a>, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team.</p><p>“Giants QB Drew Lock is undergoing an MRI on his shoulder, leaving the team’s quarterback situation uncertain heading into Week 17,” Meirov reported on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>If Lock is unable to go, Timmy DeVito would likely get another start after he cleared concussion protocol shortly before the Falcons game, and Tim Boyle would be the backup. None of the three are appealing options, which may be a good thing for Giants fans at this point.</p><p>Lock struggled on Sunday, finishing the game 22-for-39 with 210 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Both of Lock’s picks were returned for touchdowns, meaning that the Falcons scored more points on defense than the Giants did on offense on Sunday. The first pick-six, returned by star safety Jessie Bates III, was a poor read and throw by Lock, and the second one was a tipped ball that can’t be pinned entirely on the quarterback.</p><p>The Giants will finish the season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17 and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18, which should both be tough matchups for them regardless of who is at quarterback.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After missing the previous week with a heel injury, Lock will be under center for a spiraling Giants team. Fortunately, Lock will <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1870685199261970738" rel="noopener">have some help</a> on Sunday.</p><p>Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is expected to play against the Falcons, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter on X. Tracy was limited in practice this week after sustaining an ankle injury against the Baltimore Ravens. Although he’s listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, the Giants expect him to suit up.</p><p>Tracy has been one of the sole bright spots in an otherwise miserable season for New York. The fifth round draft pick has acquitted himself well in his first year as a pro. In 14 games, Tracy has rushed for 695 yards and five touchdowns with 30 receptions for another 220 yards.</p><p>While the Giants seem to have their running back of the future, the team has a massive hole at quarterback. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-release-daniel-jones-after-turning-to-tommy-devito">releasing longtime starter Daniel Jones</a>, New York turned to Tommy DeVito. But the second-year passer has only been able to make two starts due to injuries.</p><h2><b>RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.’s solid rookie campaign was wasted on the Giants</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Tyrone-Tracy.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-tommy-devito-in-line-to-start-vs-ravens-after-latest-drew-lock-injury-update">DeVito drew the start</a> last week against the Ravens but he was forced from the game with a concussion. This led to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-tommy-devitos-injury-reminds-us-tim-boyle-somehow-still-in-nfl">Tim Boyle playing an entire half</a> for the Giants. Now, Lock, who was unable to play in Week 15, will get the start against Atlanta and DeVito will back him up.</p><p>Three New York quarterbacks have combined to throw 150 pass attempts since Jones was benched following a Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany. They’ve totaled one touchdown and three interceptions. And Boyle has the only non-Daniel Jones touchdown pass for the team in 2024.</p><p>The Giants were actually 2-3 after Week 5 this season. Since then, however, the offense has collapsed into itself and disappeared. New York has lost nine straight games to fall to an NFL-worst 2-12 record. During that streak, the team has averaged just 13 points per game.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-brian-daboll-reacts-to-fans-plane-banner-asking-to-fire-everybody">fans hope the Giants replace the entire coaching staff</a>, the team will certainly look for a new starting quarterback during the offseason. And, because they’ve earned a high pick thanks to their ineptitude, New York could turn to the draft to find the next signal caller.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-deion-sanders-drops-shedeur-sanders-nfl-draft-take">Deion Sanders would take Shedeur Sanders</a> with the first overall pick.
