On the other hand, it was QB Daniel Jones who had a point to prove to all his doubters amongst the New York Giants fanbase. The youngster put in a spirited display on the road but failed to lead his team to a win.
Ultimately, the Giants suffered a narrow 29-30 loss as Washington came from behind to win their first game of the ongoing season.

Washington’s defense did not show up tonight or else the game would not have been as close as it eventually was. But that is something for coach Ron Rivera to work upon in the build up to Week 3.

Daniel Jones played arguably his best game since his rookie season and the defense eats shit.

Washington's defense was supposed to help carry this unit again. They can't carry anything with ILB play like this. They're slow and not very good.

It's hard to tell on TV, but is Kenny Golladay just not open? Seems like the Giants are paying him a lot of money to just ignore him for an entire game.

Next up for the Giants is a do-or-die encounter against the Atlanta Falcons at the MetLife Stadium. Results need to improve sooner rather than later for the New York-based franchise if coach Judge wants to hold on to his job as NFL head coach.
