Drew Lock led the New York Giants to a surprising 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, securing their first win at MetLife Stadium all season. The win, however, comes at a cost for the Giants, dropping them from the No. 1 overall pick to No. 4 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
While Seattle Seahawks fans were concerned about the eventual season-ending results of Week 17, many New York Giants fans were hoping their 10-game losing streak would continue to 11 (and eventually 12) to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Drew Lock emerged as an unlikely hero, putting up a career performance against the Indianapolis Colts .
Lock threw for over 300 yards, 4 touchdown passes (tying a career-high), and rushed for a game-sealing touchdown in the Giants' shocking 45-33 upset victory. This win marked New York's first victory at MetLife Stadium all season, eliminating the Colts from playoff contention. The result could also jeopardize the job security of former Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley as the Colts' defensive coordinator. Lock's performance, becoming the first Giants quarterback to achieve 300+ passing yards, 4+ passing touchdowns, and at least 1 rushing touchdown in a game, was a personal triumph after some disappointing outings against the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. However, the true story lies in the impact this win has on the Giants' draft position. Entering Sunday with the No. 1 overall pick, they are now down to No. 4. While Giants fans at MetLife Stadium celebrated a thrilling game and a much-needed victory, some may have been disappointed by the shift in draft prospects. Meanwhile, Seahawks fans might find a sliver of solace knowing that at least their team isn't actively trying to lose games for a better draft position. The predicament the Giants find themselves in highlights the complexities of the NFL draft system, where success on the field can sometimes come at the cost of securing the most coveted draft pick
