"Daboll is sticking with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson under center for at least one more week, even after the 36-year-old veteran struggled mightily in his Giants debut in Landover. Wilson completed 17 of 37 passes for 168 yards and failed to find the end zone despite three drives of 12 plays or more that meandered into the red zone. He left star wide receiver Malik Nabers frustrated, and the Giants' offense looking much like the punchless unit of the last two years."
"He didn't get much help from his Andrew Thomas-less offensive line, which allowed nine hurries and two sacks, but that isn't softening the cries to get Jaxson Dart under center. The rookie's monster preseason has fast-tracked his ascent toward franchise quarterback, and if Wilson struggles again, Dart's debut will only inch closer."
"Brian Daboll and the New York Giants will hope that after a 21-6 season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders, they have nowhere else to go but up. The last 12 years suggest otherwise, though. Big Blue heads to Dallas on Sunday (1 p.m. ET), which has been a house of horrors."
The New York Giants enter Week 2 after a 21-6 season-opening loss and face the Dallas Cowboys, a team they have lost to eight straight times and not beaten in Dallas since 2016. Head coach Brian Daboll will keep Russell Wilson as the starter for at least one more week despite a shaky debut. Wilson completed 17 of 37 passes for 168 yards, failed to reach the end zone, and saw multiple long drives stall in the red zone. The offensive line, missing Andrew Thomas, allowed nine hurries and two sacks, and the rookie Jaxson Dart remains a pressing backup option after a standout preseason.
