Nabers set the workforce’s rookie receptions file Sunday, passing two fairly good gamers in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley along with his 92nd catch of the season. “Kudos to me however … we didn’t win,” Nabers stated afterward.

The Giants are enjoying out the string with whoever is at QB, however they should do lots of fixing in every single place on protection. Having a great cross rush means little when every little thing else breaks down.

The Giants are the NFL’s lone two-win workforce and they don’t appear like a workforce that’s able to profitable once more this season. The Giants aren’t tanking, they’re simply horrible. It should possible make them the primary general draft decide and an necessary selection at quarterback.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:
On one hand, I need to empathize with backup quarterback Drew Lock after his turnovers this week. After I play on All-Madden problem, I’m liable to make a few boneheaded throws and have some usually terrible pocket administration—even towards the worst defenses within the sport. New York’s offense has gotten so dry and uninspiring that even the throws focusing on Malik Nabers don’t create a lot response from followers or worry in defenses anymore. With the Giants at the moment holding on to the primary decide within the upcoming draft, although, the group might be simply positive with that.

This has been a season to overlook for New York. The Giants misplaced their tenth consecutive sport on Sunday, dropping to the Falcons 34-7.
Luckily for the Giants, the Raiders defeated the Jaguars in Week 16, so New York has an amazing shot of touchdown the No. 1 general decide within the 2025 NFL Draft. PFN’s mannequin at the moment provides New York 41.3% odds of touchdown the highest choice.
It is going to be fascinating to see if the Giants half methods with head coach Brian Daboll. Whereas he’s had some powerful outings, loads of franchises would love to rent him if New York fires him.
