There's no sugarcoating that Week 1 did not go the way Brian Daboll and the New York Giants anticipated. Big Blue dropped its season opener 21-6 to the Washington Commanders. While there were some bright spots, the team failed to generate any offense, and the run game was basically nonexistent behind a depleted offensive line. This marked the first time that a team failed to score a touchdown for three consecutive season openers since the 1940-1942 Detroit Lions.
Several starters either faced injuries or did not meet expectations in the G-Men's frustrating loss, which could result in a shift in the depth chart heading into the G-Men's Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys or in future weeks.
