Malik Nabers Defended Russell Wilson After Tough Debut vs. Commanders

The Giants named Russell Wilson the starting quarterback before the start of training camp, but since they traded up to draft Jaxson Dart, it felt like it was only matter of time before fans and media called for the rookie to get a shot under center.

Turns out, it only took one game for the calls for Dart to begin. Wilson made his debut for the Giants on Sunday against the Commanders, and New York's offense continued its long-running struggles. Wilson completed 17-of-37 pass attempts—less than 50%—for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The Giants failed to score a touchdown or get much going offensively at all, falling to Washington 21-6.
