A Tough Start to the Season.
The New York Giants opened their 2025 season on the road with a 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders. The offense had moments, but Washington controlled the flow from start to finish.
Russell Wilson made his Giants debut at quarterback, completing 17 of 37 passes for 168 yards while also scrambling for 44 yards. Still, the Giants never reached the end zone. Their only points came from two Graham Gano field goals.
Commanders Capitalize on Opportunities.
Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels was steady throughout the game. He threw for 233 yards and one touchdown while adding 68 rushing yards. Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt added 82 yards and a score.
New Faces Shine for Washington.
Deebo Samuel made a strong debut with 77 receiving yards and later ran in a 19-yard touchdown to seal the win. The Giants’ defense struggled to keep pace with Washington’s playmakers, who delivered in key moments.
Giants Falter in the Red Zone.
One of the biggest issues for the Giants was failing to finish drives. Despite multiple trips inside the 5-yard line, the team came up empty in goal-to-go situations. That lack of execution put pressure on the defense and left valuable points on the field.
Injury Concerns.
The Giants also suffered a blow early in the game when linebacker Micah McFadden was carted off in the first quarter with a leg injury. His status moving forward will be critical for the defense.
Looking Ahead.
TThis marks the third straight season the Giants have opened with a game without scoring a touchdown. While there were flashes of promise from Malik Nabers, but the offense needs answers quickly.
Calls for backup quarterback Jaxson Dart to get a shot will only get louder if the offense continues to struggle.
The Giants now face the challenge of regrouping and building momentum in Week 2.
