u/alex •
Drew Lock will start at quarterback for the New York Giants against the New Orleans Saints, providing him with a full week of preparation and practice.
Why it matters: Lock's performance in his last game had both positive and negative aspects, and the Giants want to give him another opportunity to showcase his abilities.
- Lock went 21-of-32 passing for 178 yards with a touchdown run, an interception returned for a score, and a lost fumble in his previous start.
- Coach Brian Daboll believes Lock can improve on certain aspects and wants to provide him with a full week of preparation and practice to perform at his best.
What's new: Despite Tommy DeVito being the second quarterback option, his availability is uncertain due to a forearm injury. If DeVito is unable to play, Tim Boyle will serve as the backup.
Yes, but: The Giants have several injured starters, which could impact their overall performance in the upcoming game against the Saints.
- Key players such as Dexter Lawrence, Theo Johnson, Deonte Banks, Bobby Okereke, Jermaine Eluemunor, Evan Neal, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches are dealing with injuries.
What to watch: With a chance to snap their seven-game losing streak, the Giants will face a challenging matchup against the Saints.
- It will be interesting to see how Lock performs with a full week of preparation and if he can make significant improvements from his previous outing.
What's next: The Giants will rely on Lock to lead their offense against the Saints, hoping for a strong performance that can contribute to a much-needed victory.
The bottom line: Lock has been given another opportunity to showcase his skills as the starting quarterback for the Giants, while the team aims to end their losing streak. The outcome of this game will greatly impact the trajectory of the season for both Lock and the Giants.
