00:00The other New York team just needs to keep losing games to secure the number one overall pick
00:05and have some hope for the future. And Drafshador Sanders, who wore the Giants cleats on Saturday,
00:11getting ready for the Alamo Bowl, he put the kibosh on New York and maybe his future in the
00:16Big Apple because the Giants won their first game of 2024 inside MetLife Stadium, 45-33,
00:26outright as a 7.5-point underdog against Indianapolis, even at home. Total of 40.5
00:33goes over. Donny, so many things that go into this game. Can't wait for your reaction. But
00:38just a few things here. Most points for the Giants in a win in a decade since 2014. Drew
00:45Locke, who needs a new quarterback, 309 passing yards, four passing scores, rushing touchdown as
00:51well. Malik Nabors is the future. Seven grabs, a buck 71, and two touchdowns. And the Giants snap
00:59their franchise-worst 10-game losing skid. But because of it, they no longer control the destiny
01:06of the number one overall pick. They still could get it based on how things end up next week. But
01:12if the season ended today, then the Patriots would have that number one overall pick. And if New
01:17England loses next week again, New England's drafting first overall, or at least will hold that
01:23first overall pick entering the draft cycle. Yeah, let's talk about the Giants. And again, where the
01:28fans know way more than the general managers, the coaches, the players, and they want the best for
01:33the organization because they're fans. They're going to be here long after some of these players,
01:37coaches, and general managers and owners will be here. The fact that they won that game is an
01:41absolute travesty. And you might say to Locke, hey, we always going to try. Why don't you try
01:45for the previous 15, 16 games? You got your absolutely head battered on a week-to-week basis.
01:50And the fans were saying, you're not giving back money to the fans. You're not saying, you know
01:53what, this season was so bad, the Maurer family for Christmas is going to actually give back all
01:58the money for season tickets because we apologize. No, they took that money in good faith here. So
02:02the fans have a right to get angry. But also, sometimes you have to take it out of the players'
02:07hands. And you speak from past experiences, Ben. Just a couple of years ago, do you remember the
02:11last time the Washington Commanders won the division? They won it, I believe, during the
02:14COVID years. Doug Peterson was the head coach of Philadelphia, playing a game in Philadelphia,
02:18where the Eagles had a legitimate chance to win. And they put in like a fourth-string quarterback
02:23in the fourth quarter. So they knew that this kid was not going to be able to win a game. I think
02:27it might have been Nate Sudfeld at the time, right? So hear me out on this. The Giants said,
02:31we're going to play hard. Hey, Drew Locke's having a great first half. You know what?
02:34We want to take a look at this fifth-string guy. We just signed off the practice squad
02:38in the second half. So you're playing a football game. The NFL is not going to get angry. And you
02:43can use it as, we're out of it. We want to get looks at some of the younger guys and get beat
02:47in that football game. It's unbelievable that they won from an ownership, general manager, coach,
02:52and player standpoint, because you only hurt your franchise. And save me this. Well, you never want
02:58to end the season or lose it. Do you remember last year when I laughed as the Eagles stand? And yes,
03:02the Eagles got pummeled in the playoffs because they got Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown hurt in that
03:06final game. But the Giants won and once again ruined their position for a chance to take a
03:11quarterback. How did that work out? That last win against the Eagles where they were high-fiving
03:15last year in week 18 turned out to be a disaster. It's unbelievable. You can't win it. You have the
03:20number one pick in your grasp and all you have to do is be as bad as you were for the first
03:25three quarters of the season. And they couldn't even do that. Hilarious.
