Heartbreak in Dallas
The New York Giants dropped another tough one, losing 40–37 to the Dallas Cowboys in overtime on September 14, 2025. For a moment, it looked like the Giants had finally pulled off a dramatic road win. Instead, the game ended as so many have in recent years — with another collapse.
Bad teams find ways to lose football games. That’s the reality facing the Giants right now. Since 2017, no team has a worse record. Now they sit at 0–2 for the tenth time in the last 13 seasons. What once looked like a turnaround under Brian Daboll has turned into frustration. Since starting 7–2 in his first year, the Giants are just 11–31–1.
A Moment of Hope
For most NFL teams, Russell Wilson’s late-game heroics would have been enough. With under half a minute to play, he connected with rookie sensation Malik Nabers for a miraculous touchdown. That put the Giants up 37–34 with 25 seconds left, a moment that should have sealed the win.
But the defense could not finish the job. Dak Prescott found tight end Jake Ferguson wide open over the middle for 18 yards. That single play put Dallas into long field goal range. Brandon Aubrey then drilled a 64-yarder as time expired, sending the game to overtime.
Overtime Breakdown
The Giants had all the momentum late in regulation, but they came out flat in overtime. The offense, which had been rolling in the fourth quarter, suddenly stalled. On their first possession, they punted.
Russell Wilson, who had been brilliant with 450 passing yards and three touchdowns, made his only critical mistake of the night. A miscommunication with Nabers led to an interception. The Cowboys quickly capitalized, with George Pickens making a big 27-yard grab to set up another Aubrey kick, this time from 46 yards, to win the game.
Costly Mistakes
It wasn’t just one play that doomed the Giants. Penalties were crushing. Fourteen flags for 160 yards gave the Cowboys too many chances. Add in defensive lapses, and it was a recipe for another loss.
Week one against Washington, it was the offense that sputtered. In week two, it was discipline and defense. Every week, something new seems to drag this team down.
What’s Next?
The Giants talked all offseason about how this year would be different. Yet two games in, it feels all too familiar. Another season is slipping away quickly, and the frustration is mounting. Unless something changes fast, this could be another long year for Big Blue.
