The New York Giants hosted the Carolina Panthers under the lights on Friday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
On offense, most of the starters played the opening series and were quite impressive in a small sample size — especially quarterback Daniel Jones and tight end Darren Waller.
The Giants dominated the game for the most part but let the Panthers back into the game in the 4th quarter. Ultimately, they held off the comeback and secured a win.
Here is how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the win.

Can’t script a better opening drive for the @giants 1st team offense! The Jones to Waller connection looks like it could be a problem for opposing defenses #Giants #NFL

One of the main things i noticed from Daniel Jones 9 pass plays were a lot of play action & RPO & I like it. I don't even think the offense will be much different from last year I think it's just adding on to it. I could see a big year from Jones or Saquon shit probably both.
