Lock looked great in his second start with the Giants.
He started 0-for-8 and finished the first half 6-for-19 for 52 yards, but was unable to create any forward momentum on offense.

A fourth-quarter drive produced the Giants' only touchdown, bringing the team within a 35-yard field goal (which was blocked) and sending the game into overtime.
The first half troubled him.
“I just missed some easy questions,” Locke said. “It's one of those first halves that's frustrating coming back. They gave us something, but we didn't make the most of the opportunities they gave us. How I feel about it, it's a classic shooting yourself in the foot. There were a lot of plays where we had chances and didn't take advantage of them.”

Cornerback Trey Hawkins jumped out in the third quarter and got the ball off a pass thrown by Derek Carr.

Tommy DeVito appeared briefly early in the fourth quarter. He handed the ball off to Tyrone Tracy.
“There were some plays for Tommy in this game,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “That's the only one we got to. It happened to be kind of a zone read, but it wasn't just every zone read.
