"The New York Giants' revamped quarterback room could not do anything to change the offense's arid ways of the last two seasons. Russell Wilson's debut under center led to six measly points on a pair of Graham Gano field goals, as Big Blue dropped its season opener on Sunday afternoon to the Washington Commanders, 21-6. Plagued by an inability to punch the ball in at the goal line, the Giants (0-1) had two 12-play drives."
"They were held to just 231 yards of total offense compared to Washington's 434, with Wilson completing 17 of 37 passes for 168 yards. But after just four quarters of play this season, it is abundantly clear that the Giants' arsenal of playmakers is woefully lacking. No. 1 receiver Malik Nabers was held to just five catches for 71 yards, while Wan'Dale Robinson led Giants receivers with six catches to go with 55 yards."
Russell Wilson's debut produced six points on two Graham Gano field goals as the Giants lost 21-6 to the Washington Commanders. New York gained 231 total yards while Washington had 434. The Giants mounted long drives but repeatedly stalled in the red zone and failed to score a touchdown. Malik Nabers caught five passes for 71 yards; Wan'Dale Robinson had six catches for 55 yards. The running game was ineffective, with Tyrone Tracy averaging 2.4 yards per carry and Wilson leading the team with 44 rushing yards. Washington's Jayden Daniels threw for 233 yards and a touchdown, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 82 yards.
