The New York Giants were in the driver's seat for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With how poorly the team played all year, there was a vocal portion of the Giants fanbase hoping the team would lose out so they could get the first selection of the first round, which would be used to take their next franchise quarterback, whether it was Colorado's Shedeur Sanders or Miami's Cam Ward. But in Week 17, the Giants had their best game of the year after handily defeating the Indianapolis Colts 45-32. With that, the Giants improved to 3-13 on the year, and based on the results on Sunday, they fell down to No. 4 in the draft order. While Giants players were celebrating after the win, led by huge performances by rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and quarterback Drew Lock, the aforementioned vocal Giants fans were livid. Once again, the Giants won a meaningless game that pushed them out of range of a top quarterback prospect. It happened last year when Tommy DeVito led the Giants to three wins, and it effectively cost them Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye.
