Welp. With the No. 1 choose of the 2025 draft practically in hand, maybe their second century of existence will start significantly better than the way in which the primary one is ending.

NFL Nation, ESPN:
Nabers set the workforce’s rookie receptions document 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 mentioned afterward. He’s doing harm in a troublesome scenario because the Giants and their offense stumble to the end line. Nabers is now at 97 catches for 969 yards with two video games remaining. So he’s nearly actually going to prime 100 catches and 1,000 yards, albeit whereas main the league in targets (155) and averaging simply 10 yards per catch.

The Giants are enjoying out the string with whoever is at QB, however they should do a number of fixing in all places on protection. Having a superb go rush means little when all the pieces else breaks down.

The Giants are the NFL’s lone two-win workforce and they don’t seem like a workforce that’s able to profitable once more this season. The Giants aren’t tanking, they’re simply horrible. It’s going to probably cause them to the primary general draft choose and an essential selection at quarterback.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:
On one hand, I need to empathize with backup quarterback Drew Lock after his turnovers this week. Once I play on All-Madden issue, I’m liable to make a few boneheaded throws and have some usually terrible pocket administration—even in opposition to the worst defenses within the recreation. 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 concern in defenses anymore. With the Giants at present holding on to the primary choose within the upcoming draft, although, the group might be simply effective with that.

Alex Kennedy, Professional Soccer Community:
This has been a season to overlook for New York. The Giants misplaced their tenth consecutive recreation on Sunday, shedding to the Falcons 34-7.
Happily for the Giants, the Raiders defeated the Jaguars in Week 16, so New York has a fantastic shot of touchdown the No. 1 general choose within the 2025 NFL Draft. PFN’s mannequin at present provides New York 41.3% odds of touchdown the highest choice.
Will probably be attention-grabbing to see if the Giants half methods with head coach Brian Daboll. Whereas he’s had some robust outings, loads of franchises would love to rent him if New York fires him.
