One team lost, and the other … also lost.
The New York Giants valiantly battled the playoff-hopeful Indianapolis Colts — and eliminated them from postseason contention in 45-33 fashion. But in doing so, they potentially took themselves out of pole position for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Regardless, Drew Lock enjoyed a career game, throwing for four touchdowns and rushing for another. Giants fans' mixed emotions aside, it was an impressive showing from Lock, who earned a 75.0 PFF overall grade after first reviews.
While the Colts were without injured quarterback Anthony Richardson, the difference in this game was the defense's inability to stymie a usually stagnant Giants offense.
