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>

With ten straight losses, jobs are in jeopardy and eyes are on the draft. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-brian-daboll-sounds-like-broken-record-10th-straight-loss">Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen may not keep their jobs</a> despite the reports from earlier in the year that they would. If they do, they would have the opportunity to draft their first quarterback in New York.</p><p>Daboll led the Giants to the playoffs with a 9-7-1 record in his first year with the team. Schoen decided to re-sign Daniel Jones to a monster contract after they beat the Vikings in the playoffs. The former sixth-overall pick never lived up to that deal. With the Jones experiment ending earlier this year, they need a quarterback.</p><p>The Giants could draft Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback from Colorado and the son of Deion Sanders. After a 9-3 regular season with the Buffaloes, many see Sanders as the best quarterback prospect. Daboll and Schoen got these jobs because they scouted and developed Josh Allen in Buffalo. Given the opportunity to pick a quarterback, maybe they can turn the Giants into the Bills.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Giants head coach Brian Daboll had his back, according to espn.com.</p><p>“He’s a very competitive individual,” Daboll said, via ESPN. “Again, you want to get the ball in his hands, and I got to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands early. He’s a smart young guy that’s very competitive. And again, when you lose like that, it’s a frustrating thing. But we’ve had good communication as we always have.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It is the tenth straight loss for Brian Daboll and the Giants, putting the number-one pick in their sights. At this point in the season, Daboll is sounding like a broken record after games. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan posted this from his press conference.</p><p>“Brian Daboll on losing 10 straight: ‘It’s not good enough.’ Probably said that 5-10 times throughout the 5 1/2 minute press conference,” Raanan posted on social media.</p><p>Giants fan @ACMilanSanDiego <a href="https://x.com/ACMilanSanDiego/status/1870942606420828480" rel="noopener">added a few more squares</a> to the Brian Daboll Bingo Card. “Don’t forget ‘go back and take a look at it,’ or ‘I got out coached.’ Or ‘put a lot into it.’ Or “try to get a win.”</p><p>The Giants started Drew Lock at quarterback and got nothing going on offense. Tyrone Tracy Jr scored the lone touchdown of the game on a great catch to give New York a 7-0 lead. They gave up 34 consecutive points to a rookie with no NFL experience after that.</p><p>There was very little hope coming into this season from the Giants but there has also been poor play the entire year. Can Daboll possibly survive this dreadful season?</p><h2><b>Will there be another regime change with the Giants? </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Brian-Daboll-with-NY-Giants.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Reports have surfaced throughout the season that owner <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-what-it-would-take-giants-fire-brian-daboll">John Mara is not going to fire Daboll</a> or GM Joe Schoen. Since those reports, things have only gotten worse in East Rutherford. A fan has flown a plane over the stadium before the last two home games demanding change. One of the proudest fan bases in the league has stopped showing up to the stadium. That might be enough to make a change.</p><p>Before their stints with the Giants, Daboll and Schoen were in the Buffalo Bills organization. They both got credit for scouting a developing Josh Allen, a perennial MVP contender. In their first season with the Giants, they made the playoffs with nine wins and won their first playoff game. Then, the fork-in-the-road moment happened.</p><p>After that 2022 season, the Giants signed Daniel Jones to a massive contract. He never lived up to that deal and was cut this season after being benched. The argument for keeping Daboll and Schoen is that they have not drafted a quarterback. Considering the success they had drafting Allen, it may be worth giving them that chance. But with press conferences like this, they may not survive this brutal season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team has just two wins on the season and hasn’t sniffed a W since October 6. Now, after the Giants’ 34-7 Week 16 beatdown by the Atalanta Falcons this iteration of the G Men is officially the <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1870937214429110720" rel="noopener">worst in the organization’s long and storied history</a>.</p><p>“A franchise-record 10th straight loss for the Giants.

Still need the Raiders to win a game to get the No. 1 pick.”</p><p>The Giants Week 16 loss to the Falcons was made worse by the fact that it was against rookie quarterback, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-benches-kirk-cousins-favor-of-michael-penix-jr">Michael Penix Jr. starting the first game of his career</a>.</p><p>For the Giants, there is a silver lining that is getting a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With that pick, they can address the quarterback position by picking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward. The problem right now, as Raanan points out, is the Las Vegas Raiders are standing in the way.</p><h2><b>How the Giants get the No. 1 pick</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Drew-Lock.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>If the Giants and Raiders both lose out and finish the season with two losses, the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will go a tiebreakers and we can’t determine how those play out yet as all the games haven’t finished. However, if the Giants lose two more games, they are guaranteed no worse than the No. 2 pick.</p><p>The Giants may get one step closer to the top spot in the draft in Week 16 as the Raiders are actually favored over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Las Vegas. A Silver and Black win would leave Big Blue as the only team in the league with just two wins on the season.</p><p>If the Raiders lose, the Giants will likely have to move to 12 losses in a row by losing to the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles in Weeks 17 and 18 to get the pick. The Raiders end the season against the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers.</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.

Despite being benched, released, and eventually signing with the Minnesota Vikings practice squad, Jones <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1870188827916333196" rel="noopener">delivered a thoughtful holiday gesture</a> to his former teammates.</p><p>“Daniel Jones with a class move,” via ESPN’s Jordan Raanan on X, formerly Twitter. “He may not be the Giants QB anymore but … he sent all the offensive linemen who were on the roster with him a limited edition bottle of Clase Azul. Jones was benched and released by the Giants last month. He’s on the Vikings practice squad.”</p><p>This classy act comes after a difficult year for Jones. The<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-release-daniel-jones-after-turning-to-tommy-devito"> former first-round pick struggled with injuries and inconsistent play</a>, posting 2,070 passing yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading the Giants to a disappointing 2-8 start. His tenure with the team ended in November when he requested his release after being benched. Since his departure, the Giants have gone 0-4, highlighting the challenges of their season.</p><h2><b>Daniel Jones is still showing love to his fomented Giants teammates</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_0066.jpeg"><figcaption>Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite the tumultuous ending in New York, Jones’s gesture exemplifies his leadership and respect for the teammates who battled alongside him. Offensive linemen often form a unique bond with their quarterback, as they are tasked with protecting him on every play. Jones’s decision to send limited-edition bottles of Clase Azul tequila to each lineman demonstrates his gratitude for their efforts, even during a challenging season.</p><p>Now with the Vikings, Jones is using his time on the practice squad to reset and prepare for the next phase of his career. He has the opportunity to work with Minnesota’s head coach Kevin O’Connell, known for his ability to develop quarterbacks, as he approaches free agency. While he isn’t currently on the field, Jones is part of a 12-2 team with championship aspirations, which could help him refine his game and attract interest from other NFL teams.</p><p>Jones’s holiday gesture underscores his character, showing that he values relationships and camaraderie even when facing personal and professional adversity. For teams considering signing him in the offseason, his generosity and leadership off the field could make him an appealing addition to their locker room.</p><p>As Jones looks to the future, his thoughtfulness serves as a reminder that even in a tough year, maintaining connections and expressing gratitude can leave a lasting impression. It’s a move that not only speaks to his character but also keeps him firmly in the minds of his former teammates and potential suitors alike.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Giants most recently were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-mark-andrews-on-history-week-15">annihilated at home by the Baltimore Ravens</a>, and the team’s quarterback play hasn’t improved one iota since Daniel Jones’ departure from the organization.</p><p>New York is widely expected to take a chance on a quarterback with whatever selection they end up with in the draft. Colorado football star Shedeur Sanders is anticipated by many to be the first quarterback, and perhaps the first player, off of the board in April, and recently, Shedeur’s father Deion, who coaches the Buffaloes, was asked <a href="https://x.com/MarshallGreen_/status/1869456629990887784" rel="noopener">what would happen</a> if the Giants end up with the number one overall pick.</p><p>“Shedeur is going to be the number one pick,” said Sanders, per Pro Football Post on X, formerly Twitter (via Marshall Green of Chat Sports).</p><p>There had been some speculation that the Sanders family could pull a reverse Eli Manning and tell teams like the Giants not to draft Shedeur if they are in a position to do so, given how unfriendly of an environment New York has been for quarterbacks in recent seasons.</p><p>However, it seems that Deion Sanders is happy to let Shedeur head to the Meadowlands if that is indeed the way things play out.</p><h2><b>How much would Shedeur Sanders help?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sanders-vs-Oklahoma-State.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Giants have rotated through a Motley crew of quarterbacks throughout this season, including Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, Drew Locke, and Tim Boyle.</p><p>It would be a complete disaster of an offseason for the franchise if any of those names were still starting to begin the 2025 season.</p><p>While the upcoming NFL Draft isn’t viewed as the quarterback treasure chest that this past class was, Sanders still has many qualities that teams are looking for in a quarterback for the modern NFL, including arm strength, accuracy, and mobility.</p><p>The Giants continue to be a disaster along the offensive line, meaning that whoever it is playing under center for them next year will likely have to work on getting the ball out quick to some of the team’s legitimately talented skill positional players, including most notably Malik Nabers.</p><p>In any case, the Giants will resume their tanking efforts in their next game on Sunday vs the Atlanta Falcons at 1:00 PM ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-owner-honest-reaction-daniel-jones-release-request">Giants finally parted ways with Daniel Jones</a>, releasing him back in November.

During the 35-14 stomping, the Ravens made some franchise history as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-mark-andrews-eclipses-jamal-lewis-record-giants">Mark Andrews became the team’s all-time touchdown leader</a>.</p><p>Andrews hauled in a 13-yard pass from Lamar Jackson in the first quarter to give the team an early 7-0 lead. The reception also gave Andrews 48 career touchdowns, which broke Jamal Lewis’ long-standing record of 47.</p><p>While Andrews wasn’t necessarily thinking about the record when he made the catch, he <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/transcripts-press-conference-ravens-at-giants-week-15" rel="noopener">acknowledged the accomplishment</a> after the game. “Well, it’s a blessing… There are so many people that have helped throughout the way, and the guys that have contributed and that I’ve played with, I’m thankful for, and this organization. I’m just extremely thankful and blessed and just using it as fuel for the fire. I want to continue to get better, continue to grow throughout this year and get to where we need to go,” Andrews said, per a press conference transcript provided by the Ravens Media Center.</p><p>While the seventh-year veteran hasn’t been able to duplicate the remarkable success of his first-team All-Pro season in 2021 when he had 107 receptions for 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns, Andrews is still a key component of the Ravens’ potent offense – particularly in the red zone.</p><h2><b>Mark Andrews stands alone as the Ravens’ all-time touchdown leader</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Mark-Andrews.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In 14 games this season, he has 45 catches for 514 yards and eight scores. He has the second-most receptions on the team, the third-most receiving yards and, fittingly, the most touchdowns. And, after seven seasons together, the tight end has earned his quarterback’s trust as well as his admiration. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-declares-baltimore-star-goats-after-week-15-win">Jackson called Andrews “one of the GOATS”</a> after the record-breaking score.</p><p>Head coach John Harbaugh appreciates the <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/transcripts-press-conference-ravens-at-giants-week-15" rel="noopener">unique connection</a>. “Those guys have a feel for one another. They make route adjustments that are not always in the playbook. They make the kind of adjustment that you make because you’ve been playing together for so long. All these reps, and they continue to do it, and a lot of those touchdown passes are those two guys just having that chemistry,” Harbaugh said, per a press conference transcript.</p><p>With the win over the Giants the Ravens improved to 9-5. While the team hasn’t officially locked up a playoff spot just yet, they currently have the first Wild Card berth. And Baltimore is just one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North.
