Giants Eliminated from Playoffs with Loss to Cowboys

The New York Giants experienced their seventh consecutive loss, falling 27-20 to the Dallas Cowboys, which officially eliminated them from playoff contention. Drew Lock, stepping in as starting quarterback, struggled with turnovers, including a critical interception returned for a touchdown by DeMarvion Overshown. Despite these struggles, head coach Brian Daboll's job does not appear immediately at risk, although the team's dismal performance (2-10 record) raises questions about future leadership and potential quarterback changes. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence suffered a dislocated elbow during the game but expressed intent to continue playing, illustrating the Giants' injury woes. Meanwhile, the Cowboys, led by Rico Dowdle's 112-yard rushing performance, ended a six-game home losing streak and demonstrated their improving run game. With the Giants likely to be active in the quarterback market in the offseason, speculation arises about potential draft picks, including Shedeur Sanders, to revitalize their franchise.
