The Giants Are Who We Thought They Were
Anyone paying attention to the NFL season this year expected the New York Giants to get steamrolled by the Baltimore Ravens Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey and they did.
Lamar Jackson hurled five touchdowns in a 35-14 victory over the hapless G-Men.
The loss was demoralizing for anyone associated with, working for, and fans of the once-proud organization. It also kept them in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick next May.
The Giants find themselves in a battle with the equally as bad Raiders for the top spot in the draft, with each organization undoubtedly thinking quarterback. New York's Tim Boyle proved why that position is of great need, going 12-of-24 for 123 yards, a touchdown, and an interception against the Ravens.
The Raiders are struggling with their quarterback issues, with both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew suffering significant injuries of late. That leaves the team's hopes of improving their on-field product in the hands of Desmond Ridder, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons.
In three seasons, he has thrown for 3,783 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
He will have the opportunity to get a measure of revenge against his former team Monday night but in doing so, could risk the Raiders acquiring that No. 1 pick.
Regardless, both teams will have to address the quarterback position and if their level of play continues over the next three games, they should be able to do just that come the spring.
