The New York Giants fell to 0-1 on the season following a 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, on Sunday afternoon.
For a new-look Giants team, things looked all too familiar. Their offensive line crumbled under pressure, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson was shellshocked, the defense missed entirely too many tackles, and sideline frustrations boiled over, taking center stage.
After a summer filled with good vibes and optimism, everything came crashing back down to earth for the Giants on Sunday.
Here’s a look at the highest- and lowest-graded Giants players from their Week 1 loss, courtesy of Pro Football Focus.
