The New York Giants entered Sunday in desperate need of a redemption game after their season opener. They would travel to play their division rival, Washington Commanders, in a game of 0-1 teams.
The Giants targeted rookie Malik Nabers early and often. The sixth overall pick had a great game and hauled in his first career touchdown. The offense looked miles better than they did in Week 1. However, there is clearly plenty that Brian Daboll’s offense will have to work on moving forward.
Kicker Graham Gano was the big headline as he was injured coming in to the game and did not play following the opening kickoff which hindered the Giants plans to kick field goals and extra points throughout the entire game.
On defense, the Giants had a tough time slowing down the Commanders offense all game long but were able to stop them once they got to the redzone throughout the entire game. Washington was not forced to punt once throughout the game’s entirety.
The Giants came up short on their final drive in a crucial ourth-down drop by Malik Nabers, giving the Commanders a shot on their final drive where they drove down the field and would kick a field goal as time expired.
Following the loss, the Giants will drop to 0-2. Here’s how X reacted.
