Sept 30 A day that should be remembered for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart leading the Giants to victory in his first career start ended up becoming forgettable. Dart won his first start without his top playing wide receiver for most of the game, as Malik Nabers left with a knee injury and is expected to be out the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.

Game 4 Preview - Giants (0-3) - Chargers (3-0)
The Chargers were trailing the Denver Broncos 20-13 late in the fourth quarter last Sunday. They came up with a touchdown, and kicked a field goal with five seconds left, to give them a 23-20 win over the Broncos.
The Giants had their first home opening game in a Sunday night match up with the Kansas City Chiefs. They were coming off a game where they put up 37 points, but scoring was tough against the Chiefs and they ended up with a 22-9 loss.

Sept 27 One factor in the coaching staff's decision to go with Jaxson Dart this early in the season is the rookie's performance during the preseason. Across those three games, the 22-year-old completed 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding six rushes for 52 yards (8.7 avg.) and an additional score. The offense topped the 30-point mark in three consecutive preseason games for the first time in franchise history.

Sept 26 The New York Giants entered this season hoping Andrew Thomas' return would mask their lack of upgrades along the interior offensive line. While Thomas' presence has certainly helped anchor the group, the issues inside remain glaring. Pass protection and run-blocking efficiency continue to hold this unit back, but one veteran has been a surprising bright spot in the early weeks: 35-year-old Greg Van Roten.

Sept 25 It was only three years ago that Russell Wilson was one of the highest-paid players in NFL history. He was on the fast track toward the Hall of Fame. And he wasn't showing many signs of decline either. Today, though, he is a 36-year-old backup, benched for the first time in his 14-year career, and after just three games with the New York Giants. It's hard not to imagine this benching is the beginning of the end of his career. Yet somehow, the 10-time Pro Bowler believes the best may still be yet to come.

Sept 24 Jaxson Dart will start at quarterback in the New York Giants' Week 4 game against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Following a dreadful offensive showing in a 22-9 loss on Sunday night to the Kansas City Chiefs, Russell Wilson is three and out in Gotham. Dart, taken 25th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after New York traded back into the first round, had an impressive preseason that had many wondering just how long it would be before he took the field in the regular season. Turns out it's three weeks, with Wilson struggling in two of the three games.

Sept 23 Giants head coach Brian Daboll, during his Monday video call with reporters, declined to commit to Russell Wilson, the team's starter for the last three games, for when the Giants take the field Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium. Daboll said that the Giants' brass was in the process of "evaluating everything." But is Dart truly ready? "Well, we put him in the game for the last two weeks, so we wouldn't put anybody in the game we don't feel confident with," Daboll said in response to the question.

Game 3 Preview - Giants (0-2) - Kansas City (0-2)
Kansas City lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the last Super Bowl. Last week in what was billed as the Super Bowl LIX rematch, the game was tied 10-10 at halftime. The disappointed Kansas City fans watched their team lose a second home game in a row, as the Eagles won again, with a 20-17 score.
The Giants were on a road trip, and battled it out with the Dallas Cowboys in a game that went into overtime. The Giants held a 13-10 halftime lead, and that lead flipped back and fourth, but the Cowboys came out on top 40-37.

Sept 20 The Kansas City Chiefs will aim to get back on track this weekend with a prime-time clash against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. Remarkably, the Chiefs have never beaten the Giants on the road in the history of the two franchises. Kansas City has lost all seven of its trips to play the Giants in New York since 1978, making them the only team the Chiefs have never defeated on the road.

Sept 19 The Giants will take the field at MetLife Stadium for the first time in the 2025 season when they take on the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Both teams are looking to pick up their first victory of the season, as the Giants lost a heartbreaker in Dallas last week while the Chiefs fell at home to the Eagles. Sunday's game represents the first time the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs will travel to East Rutherford for an interconference matchup against the Giants. There's some players to watch in home opener vs. the Chiefs.

Sept 18 There's no one more ready to dig in during Week 3, when the Kansas City Chiefs come to town, than recently activated New York Giants linebacker Swayze Bozeman. Micah McFadden's foot injury landed him on injured reserve after Week 1, and 2025 free-agent signing Chris Board followed him after Week 2's game against Dallas with a chest injury. That means it's Bozeman's turn to step up - and he gets to do it against the team that let him go.

Sept 17 Receiver Darius Slayton is one of the few New York Giants who can truly act like he's been there before. As the longest-tenured Giant, Slayton is one of the few left over from the last blue team that broke the half-century mark in single-game yardage, getting 506 in Sunday's 40-37 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Slayton himself got in on the fun with a 52-yard grab in the third quarter that led to a Graham Gano field goal.

Sept 16 Russell Wilson dropped back to pass 41 times against Dallas. He turned back the clock and had a vintage performance, going 30-of-41 passing for 450 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio. Wilson looked skiddish in the pocket in Week 1 as he faced constant pressure from the Washington Commanders' defensive line. But in Week 2, he was cool, calm, and collected, as the Giants' offensive line kept Wilson mostly clean.

Game 2 Preview - Giants (0-1) - Cowboys (0-1)
The Cowboys played their season opener in Philadelphia, up against the Super Bowl winning Eagles. They held a one point lead at halftime, and added a field goal in the third quarter. The Eagles held a 24-20 lead when the game was delayed for over an hour because of lightning in the area. No more points were scored after that and the Eagles got the win.
The Giants looked good in preseason play, but it didn't carry over to their opening game in Washington. Both teams could have played better, but the Commanders, who had fallen just one game short of playing in the Super Bowl, were too much for the Giants to handle. The Commanders had strengthened some of their weaknesses and it showed with the Giants taking a 21-6 loss.

Sept 13 It's only been one game, and New York Giants players are already questioning the coaching staff's decision-making. The Giants' offense failed to score a touchdown in this contest despite two trips to the red zone. Starting RB Tyrone Tracy shared his thoughts on the lacking offensive attack and called offensive coordinator Mike Kafka's red zone playcalling into question.

Sept 12 The Giants will look to pick up their first win of the season this weekend when they travel to Dallas for a divisional matchup against the Cowboys. Sunday's game will be the second leg of a back-to-back games against divisional opponents for both teams. The Giants fell to the Commanders on the road in Week 1, while the Cowboys dropped their season opener on the road against the Eagles. Five players to watch in the Week 2 NFC East matchup - WR Malik Nabers, RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., OLB Brian Burns, CB Paulson Adebo.

Sept 11 Abdul Carter has a background as a gamewrecker. So why didn't the Giants tap into that background as much as they probably should have in Week 1? Imagine having a premium weapon on your football team, but not taking full advantage of deploying it every chance possible. After landing outside linebacker Abdul Carter third overall in this year's draft, they seemingly limited the rookie's defensive snap counts on defense to 38.

Sept 10 For the third consecutive year, the New York Giants failed to score a touchdown in Week 1. Although there were some bright spots, like Malik Nabers and the edge rush group, this game showed that the Giants' problems from last year remain the same. The Giants ranked sixth-worst in rushing yards allowed last season, and in this game, it was no different, allowing 220 total rushing yards. The run blocking also struggled. The interior offensive line's lack of push gave their running backs minimal room to run.

Sept 9 The New York Giants aren't ready to park the Russ bus, with head coach Brian Daboll confirming Monday that veteran Russell Wilson will remain the starting quarterback in Week 2. In addition to sticking with Wilson, Daboll told reporters Monday he doesn't envision any changes on the offensive line this week. Left tackle Andrew Thomas was inactive in Week 1 as he recovers from a 2024 season-ending foot injury, with James Hudson getting the start on Wilson's blind side.

Game 1 Preview - Giants (0-0) - Washington (0-0)
The Commanders finished last season second in the NFC East with a 12-5 record. They split their two games with the 14-3 Philadelphia Eagles, and after two post season wins, met up with them again to see which team would move on to the Super Bowl. The Commanders lost that game, and the Eagles went on to beat the Kansas City Chiefs to become the Super Bowl Champions.
The Giants were celebrating playing in their 100th season, and finished up last in the NFC East with a 3-14 record. They lost all six of their division games, except for one of the two with the Philadelphia Eagles, by no more than one touchdown. They start off this year playing against the Commanders, Cowboys and Chiefs.
