Giants Trolled by Fans for Losing No. 1 NFL Draft Pick with Shocking Win vs. Colts

It’s no secret the New York Giants have been bad at winning games this season, but on Sunday, they were bad at losing.

The Giants came into Sunday’s contest with the Indianapolis Colts in position to earn the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft in April. All they had to do was lose to the Colts and drop their final game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Instead, New York had its best offensive display of the season as it downed Indianapolis 45-33.

Quarterback Drew Lock completed 17 of his 23 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Lock also scored on the ground. Star rookie Malik Nabers was his favorite target as he hauled in seven receptions for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton also found the endzone through the air.

After he scored, Slayton had an emphatic message for those wanting the team to tank for the top pick.

#Giants WR Darius Slayton screamed “f**k your tank” while celebrating TD.

With the Giants’ loss, the New England Patriots can now claim the top pick with a loss to the Buffalo Bills next week. New York is in position for the third pick, per tankathon.com.

The win is impressive and likely would have made fans very happy earlier this season, but with nothing to play for, the Giants cost themselves the top pick in the draft and were met with trolling on social media.

It’s been 6 years since the Giants won a game their fans wanted them to win or lost a game their fans wanted them to lose

Giants getting hot at the right time.

Drew Lock putting on a masterclass today, screwing us out of the 1st overall pick, and then departing into the abyss of free agency is the most Giants thing I’ve ever seen.

Giants Daily @NYGDaily

The Colts, for the rest of my life, will be my enemy.

There might not be a No. 1 pick for the Giants this year, but at least they avoided being the first team in NFL history to go 0-9 at home.
