The Giants’ need for a franchise quarterback has been clear since Daniel Jones’ downfall, but it was painfully obvious while watching Drew Lock start over Tommy DeVito in New York’s latest blowout loss, a 34-7 defeat Sunday at the Atlanta Falcons.

No matter whom the Giants start, quarterback is a lost cause. Lock got the nod over DeVito, who cleared concussion protocol for Week 16 but took a backseat after exiting last Sunday’s 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and quite literally handed the slow-starting Falcons (8-7) the game. 

Fueled by two pick sixes — Jessie Bates’ 55-yarder midway through the second quarter and Matthew Judon‘s 27-yarder to open the second half — Lock gave New York (2-13) no chance while completing 22 of 39 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown to the two game-changing interceptions. Lock added a third turnover on a fumble — his fourth in five games — late in the second quarter. The Giants, who inched back ahead of the 2-12 Las Vegas Raiders for the NFL’s worst record and 2025 draft’s No. 1 overall pick, desperately need a quarterback as they look to get their franchise back on track.
