EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Drew Lock's last game as a home team starting quarterback was one of the highlights of his six-year NFL career.
With a national audience watching on Monday night, Dec. 18, 2023, Lock was under center for a Seattle Seahawks team that trailed the Philadelphia Eagles entering the fourth quarter, 17-10.
The Seahawks kicked a field goal to narrow their deficit and after a Philadelphia punt, Lock led the offense on a 10-play, 92-yard drive in the final two minutes of the game, capping it with a perfect throw to rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the 29-yard game-winning touchdown with 28 seconds remaining in a 20-17 Seattle victory.
"That was a lot of fun," Lock said after the game. "I mean, it was more than fun. I can't find the right word for it right now. It was a blast. One of those classic NFL games."
It was also the last game he played for the Seahawks. Geno Smith returned as the starter and Lock was back on the sideline for the season's final three games. In the offseason, he signed a one-year contract to be the Giants' backup quarterback.
After Daniel Jones' release and Tommy DeVito's forearm injury, Lock made his first Giants start on Thanksgiving Day, in Dallas on a short week with walk-throughs instead of full-scale practices. The Giants lost, 27-20.
Tomorrow, after a regular work week, Lock will start for the first time in MetLife Stadium against the New Orleans Saints.
"It feels great," Lock said Friday. "Anytime you get to go out there and rep what you're about to go do in a game, it makes you feel comfortable. Being able to get the time down with these guys, practicing in the (cold and windy) weather a little bit, you feel like you're ready for just about anything. And that gives you confidence going in."
Lock's start tomorrow will be the 25th in his career, including 21 with the Denver Broncos, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and two with the Seahawks. Eleven of his starts have been for the home team, but he expects his sense of excitement to intensify tomorrow in MetLife.
"It's always a big deal," he said. "Anytime you get to start a game in this league, you take it to heart and give everything you got into it throughout the week and on Sunday. To be able to do it here in New York makes it a little more special, too."
Lock will face a Saints defense that ranks 30th in the league by allowing 385.1 yards a game, and 19th in points given up per game (23.4). But he looks beyond the numbers and instead points to a unit that has standout players at all three levels in 14-year defensive end Cameron Jordan,
linebacker Demario Davis and safety Tyrann Mathieu.
"The D-line is fantastic," Lock said. "Those backers fly and know how to hit. I played against Tyrann three or four times when he was in Kansas City, and I was in Denver. Special player, been around a long time, knows concepts when they're coming at him and does a good job on the quarterback's eyes. Just gotta be smart with him back there and the two corners (Alonte Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry) as well, being able to press and run. It's a good defense. We have to come out and play our A game to get stuff done."
Lock might not know the identity of some of his supporting cast until gametime. One tackle (Jermaine Eluemunor) is doubtful with a quad injury, while two others - Evan Neal (hip) and Chris Hubbard (knee) are questionable. Record-setting rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is questionable with a hip pointer.
But Lock won't dwell on something he can't control.
"It's the next man up mentality," Lock said. "The next guy comes into play. Same thing at the quarterback position, same thing at the tackles, same thing with the tight end spot with Theo (Johnson) down (after undergoing foot surgery).
"That's the NFL. You gotta be ready to go when your opportunity comes. All of us have been practicing this week, hoping to be ready on Sunday."
No one more than Lock.

*Due to Daniel Jones' release and injuries to Andrew Thomas, Dexter Lawrence and Bobby Okereke, long-snapper Casey Kreiter is the only original 2024 Giants captain who will be in uniform Sunday.
Coach Brian Daboll originally expected to have Kreiter attend the pregame coin toss alone.
"It's not like they're going to a street fight," Daboll said.
But he has since changed his mind.
"I'll have some guys that go out there with him," Daboll said yesterday. "Guys that have been in leadership, that I have meetings with and talk to. I'll talk to these guys. Some older guys that we've had that have played some football that have been good for us in terms of being in the locker room and out on the field.
"Some of the guys that had some votes for captain earlier on in the season when they voted. Guys that maybe didn't have as many votes as some of the other guys but have played a lot of football and that have been productive, whether it was on other teams or have been here for this year."
*Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen faced New Orleans quarterback Derek Carr each of the previous two seasons, when he held the same position with the Tennessee Titans.
"I think this year he's playing at a really high level," Bowen said. "Within that system, they do a really good job with him. He's getting the ball out (quickly). You see the same stuff that we saw in the past two years going against him, the ability to throw the ball deep, the ability to be accurate down the field. I think he's third in completion percentage of 20-plus-yard throws. He's playing at a high level despite missing a lot of pieces (primarily due to injuries at wide receiver)."
*Carr has a 6-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio since returning on Nov. 3 from an oblique injury. That's the most touchdown passes without an interception by any quarterback in that span.
*Running back Alvin Kamara has 616 more rushing yards and 27 more receptions that anyone other Saints player.
"He's a stretch and cut runner like he's always been," Bowen said. "You give him a crease inside, he's going to find it. It could be a foot and he's gonna make his way through. He has really good contact balance to stay on his feet to get through some of those tight spaces in there. And he's a big, big challenge from the receiving aspect of it. This is one of the most targeted running backs in terms of receptions and targets. But in the running game, he's explosive, and he's gonna make you pay if you're not in the right spot."
*Kamara leads the Saints with 894 rushing yards and 450 receiving yards. In 2020, he topped the team with 932 rushing and 756 receiving. Only two other players in history have led their teams in rushing and receiving yards in multiple seasons: Lydell Mitchell of the Baltimore Colts in 1974 and 1977, and Giants Hall of Famer Frank Gifford in 1956, 1957 and 1959.
*New Orleans is 2-1 since coach Dennis Allen was fired on Nov. 4 and assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi was named interim coach. Daboll and Rizzi worked together on the coaching staff of the 2011 Miami Dolphins.
"We became pretty close," Daboll said. "Obviously, he's a New Jersey guy, Bergen Catholic. I got a lot of respect for him. He's been a good friend here for, I'd say, the last almost 15 years. Good football coach, good special teams coach and done a nice job since he's been down there. Him, his family, he's got a lot of kids, too. So, a good man."
Tomorrow's game will be the Saints' first on the road under Rizzi.
*On Saturday, the Giants added cornerback Cor'Dale Flott (quad/knee) to the team's injury report. His game status for tomorrow is questionable.
