Drew Lock responded to Brian Daboll’s heavy hand with best game from a Giants QB in years
NY Post
Who said the Giants don’t have a quarterback?
Drew Lock delivered the best passing game by a Giants quarterback since the end of the 2019 season Sunday to fuel a stunning offensive outburst from the NFL’s lowest scoring team in a 45-33 upset victory against the Colts.
“Almost perfect,” receiver Darius Slayton said of Lock’s performance. “It’s hard to play any better than that.”
Of course, one great game by a journeyman backup heading to free agency after the season isn’t going to alter the Giants’ plan to draft a new franchise quarterback — even though that path became a little stickier because the win to snap a 10-game slide bumped them from holding the No. 1 pick in 2025.
But there was no ignoring the rarity of Lock’s 309-yard, four-touchdown (and a fifth touchdown on the ground) performance.
He joined Tommy DeVito (once) as the only Giants to throw for three or more touchdowns in a game since the start of the 2020 season, and had the first five-touchdown game by a Giants quarterback since Daniel Jones on Dec. 22, 2019.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
