It will be a familiar foe — actually, two of them — for the Giants as they embark on their 2025 season, as they open up on the road Sept. 7 at Washington and then face the Cowboys on the road on Sept. 14 in Week 2.
It will be an early taste of NFC East competition for a team coming off a last-place finish in the division.
The challenging start does not get a reprieve after the Giants finally get to play a home game, as they will face Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in Week 3, under the lights at MetLife Stadium for a nationally televised Sunday night game — expect a Taylor Swift sighting.
In Week 4, it is another home game for the Giants, this time against another 2024 playoff team in the Chargers.
The entirety of the Giants 2025 schedule will be released later in the day Wednesday.
The season opener will be a reminder of how a team can go from rags to riches rather quickly when there is a new, capable, vibrant quarterback running the show.
The Giants lost both games to the Commanders last season, two close-call losses that fueled the Commanders’ resurgence and doomed the Giants in their eventual 3-14 disaster of a season.
In Week 3 last season, the Giants lost, 21-18, in Washington in a game that had to be seen to be believed. The Commanders did not score a single touchdown, getting all their points on seven Austin Seibert field goals.
The Giants were left without a kicker when Graham Gano injured his hamstring on the opening kickoff.
After punter Jamie Gillan missed badly on an extra-point attempt, head coach Brian Daboll was scared off and decided to go for the two-point conversion after the next two Giants touchdowns. Both Daniel Jones’ passes failed.
Rookie Jayden Daniels notched his first NFL victory, directing a 65-yard scoring drive that ended with Seibert’s game-winning field goal as time expired.
In Week 9, the Commanders beat the Giants, 27-22, at MetLife Stadium. A sack-fumble by Jones was not helpful as the Giants lost their fourth consecutive game to fall to 2-7.
In Week 2, the Giants will try to do something they have not been able to accomplish since 2016 — escape AT&T Stadium with a victory.
They have lost eight straight games in Arlington, Texas and are 1-11 anywhere in their last 12 games with the Cowboys.
The combined regular-season records of the first four Giants opponents in 2024 was 45-23.
