Let’s look at where the New York Giants sit in Week 2 NFL power rankings. Spoiler: it’s not pretty.
NFL.com (Edholm) — No. 28
The Giants offered little of the hope and excitement we saw in the preseason. They hung with Washington for stretches, but offensive drives stalled far too often. With Andrew Thomas out, Russell Wilson was under constant pressure — something that’s become a theme in the Brian Daboll era. Daboll did confirm Wilson as the Week 2 starter, but the delay in announcing it only fuels speculation that rookie Jaxson Dart should be ready. New York averaged just 3.7 yards per play and scored six points in the opener.
CBS Sports (Prisco) — No. 30
The sooner they get to Jaxson Dart, the better off they’ll be. Russell Wilson isn’t the answer.
