Here are the heroes who scored zero points in the Giants' 34-7 loss to the Falcons on Sunday:
hero
Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson helped the Falcons control the game and keep pressure off rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Robinson rushed for 94 yards on 22 carries and scored two rushing TDs.
The unsung hero
Michael Penix Jr., making his first start since the team benched $180 million veteran Kirk Cousins last week, completed 18 of 27 for 202 yards and one INT. However, that was because tight end Kyle Pitts bounced the ball.
Penix wasn't a great player, but he didn't need to be.
He was talented and the better of the two QBs in this game.
zero
Drew Lock threw two pick-sixes, had a sack and lost a fumble.
Otherwise, Lock completed 22-of-39 for 210 yards and also completed a TD pass to running back Tyrone Tracy II.
The first pick-six to safety Jesse Bates III completely changed the course of the game.
The second pass was deflected, but the game was almost decided at that point.
Main status
The Giants' 10 consecutive losses were the longest losing streak in the franchise's 100-year history.

“It's disgusting. I've never lost more than two games in a row in my career. It's a feeling I never want to have again. It just sucks. There's really no other way to say it.”
