The world didn't necessarily end when the New York Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-17 in a meaningless Week 18 matchup, but their hopes for a top draft pick did.
The Giants entered the game with the second overall pick in the 2026 Draft, with a clear path to keeping the pick or securing the No. 1 slot. A loss would’ve done them wonders for both scenarios, but a win makes the explanation completely irrelevant.
The good news is they finally snapped their nine-game losing streak to Dallas -- and 14-game losing streak to Dak Prescott. How's that for a moral victory?
