Giants vs. Falcons, Week 16: Game time, TV channel, odds, streaming, more

The New York Giants (2-12) travel to Atlanta this Sunday, December 22nd to face the Falcons (7-7) in Week 16 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET, with FOX broadcasting the game.

This will be the 25th meeting between the two teams in the regular season, with Atlanta holding a 14-11 lead in the series. The Giants’ last win over the Falcons came on October 16, 2014, when they won 30-20 at MetLife Stadium.

The Atlanta Falcons shake things up in Week 16 by turning to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to lead the offense against the struggling Giants. This decision comes after a difficult stretch under veteran Kirk Cousins, who struggled in the last five games, managing just one touchdown while throwing nine interceptions.

Despite securing a win against the Las Vegas Raiders last week, the Falcons are 7-7 and in danger of missing the playoffs after surrendering the NFC South lead to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On the other hand, the New York Giants are experiencing one of the most challenging seasons in franchise history and are fully prepared for a rebuild after parting ways with quarterback Daniel Jones. Drew Lock is expected to return as New York’s starter after missing Week 15 due to injury, hoping to add a spark to a team looking to salvage some pride in the final weeks of a difficult season.
