So many things have gone wrong for Big Blue this season, some of which were unavoidable. How does one sort through the issues? What may be gained from the season's final two games, and how might this impact the future?

The New York Giants have two games left before the offseason begins, and there are a host of questions that need to be answered.

Their current 10-game losing streak has set a team record, yet each player must continue to focus on every snap, understanding that these plays are likely to impact their status going into next season.

They'll host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, a team still alive in the AFC playoff picture. So there's no rest for the weary, and it will take a strong effort to play spoiler.

A day that started well for the New York Giants ended with them losing a team-record 10th straight game. What twists and turns sealed their fate, and how did they somehow cough up an early lead?

They couldn't even find a way to deal with prosperity. The New York Giants opened the scoring with a 70-yard touchdown drive, then allowed 34 consecutive points in suffering a team-record 10th straight loss, 34-7, in Atlanta.

Jessie Bates and Matthew Judon each returned an interception for a TD in support of rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the Falcons (8-7) kept their playoff hopes alive.

Late in the second quarter, quarterback Drew Lock fumbled on a strip-sack near midfield as the Giants (2-13) tried to overcome a 17-7 deficit.

Malik Nabers finished with seven catches for 68 yards and set the team's single-season rookie mark with 97 receptions - Saquan Barkley (2018) and Odell Beckham Jr. (2014) each snared 91. Nabers has 969 receiving yards.

What can the New York Giants do to avoid setting a club record with a tenth straight defeat while playing spoiler against Atlanta, which is still hunting a playoff bid?

They will do their best to rattle rookie quarterback Micheal Penix Jr., who is making his first NFL start as the replacement for benched veteran Kirk Cousins.

The first-round pick is expected to lean on the powerful running duo of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier while not losing sight of highly productive wide receiver Drake London.

Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito entered concussion protocol during last weekend's loss to Baltimore. So Drew Lock will begin his second tenure as the starter after his first chance was shortened by heel and elbow injuries.

Paul Dottino analyzes the matchup's significant battles in the latest Big Blue Breakdown podcast episode.

The New York Giants are taking a franchise record nine-game losing streak on the road to Atlanta. How can they turn things around against rookie QB Michael Penix Jr., who will make his first NFL start? Will Brian Burns and Co. make sure he remembers this game as a loss?

New York Giants QB Drew Lock has recovered from a sore heel and elbow, allowing him to regain the starting job from Tommy DeVito, who is progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol.

Lock's performance has been mixed thus far, although the team has lost both of his starts (part of the current nine-game slide). He may succeed against the Falcons, who have allowed 27 TD passes - the fourth-most in the league.

Lock remains one of several players on the depth chart trying to enhance their value going into the offseason. Who are the others, and what must they show?

The New York Giants simply were undermanned and Lamar Jackson made them pay by throwing for 290 yards and five touchdowns as Baltimore rolled to a 35-14 victory at MetLife Stadium.

So that's the Giants' ninth straight loss, tying a franchise record, as they fell to 0-8 at home.

For all practical purposes, the Ravens seized control of the game on a nine-play, 80-yard drive, capped by Jackson's 20-yard TD pass to Rashod Bateman to grab a 21-7 lead with 32 seconds left in the first half.

Giants rookie Malik Nabers caught 10 passes for 82 yards, including a 23-yard score in the fourth quarter - his fourth touchdown and his first since Week 3 in Cleveland. He made a crafty adjustment on the hurried pass from Tim Boyle, who took over for starter Tommy DeVito (concussion protocol) just before halftime.

Perhaps the injury-riddled New York Giants could stock their sideline with cans of Popeye's spinach ... unless anyone has a better idea as they try to snap their eight-game losing streak.

New York (2-11) has never lost more than nine straight games during an NFL season. The Baltimore Ravens (8-5) are coming off a bye, refocused after dropping two of their last three games and somewhat bruising their aspirations of a deep postseason run.

Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito, in for the injured Drew Lock, will try to take advantage of the league's lowest-ranked passing defense while being mindful that playing keep-away from Baltimore's high-scoring offense (third in the NFL) led by QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry.

Paul Dottino breaks down the significant battles within the matchup in the latest episode of “Big Blue Breakdown” podcast.
