Giants Set Franchise Record Losing Streak

The New York Giants suffered a crushing 34-7 defeat against the Atlanta Falcons, marking their 10th consecutive loss and setting a franchise record for futility. The game highlighted significant struggles for Giants' quarterback Drew Lock, who threw two interceptions returned for touchdowns, contributing to the team's ongoing struggles. Meanwhile, Falcons' rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr., in his first NFL start, demonstrated composure and effectiveness, completing 18 of 27 passes for 202 yards. Atlanta's defense, led by standout performances from Jessie Bates III and Matthew Judon, played a crucial role by scoring twice from interceptions. The loss leaves the Giants with a dismal 2-13 record and positions them for the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, potentially allowing them to address their quarterback issues. Despite Malik Nabers' record-breaking rookie season for receptions, the Giants' season is marred by poor performance and strategic missteps, including passing on drafting Penix.
