Many New York Giants fans wanted to see rookie Jaxson Dart start the team’s Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders. Instead, the team elected to go with veteran Russell Wilson.
Well, after just one game, it’s gone from “many New York Giants fans” to “practically all New York Giants fans” who want to see the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft under center in Week 2.
The Giants’ offense struggled mightily on Sunday afternoon in Washington, managing just two field goals on nine possessions. They had as many punts (6) as points scored (6).

The warning signs were there. Tua Tagovailoa’s average pass distance in 2024 dropped to a career low. Tyreek Hill walked off the field in protest. Players balked at joint preseason practices with the Chicago Bears in which the Bears were playing too much football.
Still, lingering optimism existed at the start of the Miami Dolphins’ 2025 NFL season. Then they got boat raced by Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. If it wasn’t clear before, it was laid bare in Week 1. The Dolphins are capital-b Bad.

In March 2023, Aaron Rodgers appeared on “The Pat McAfee show” with questions surrounding his future, and he said “I made it clear my intention was to play and to play for the New York Jets.” A month later, he was officially traded to New York.

One of the biggest offseason storylines in the NFL, as these things often do, was the future of Aaron Rodgers. The veteran quarterback’s decision regarding where he would play this season lingered through the spring and into the early part of June, when he finally signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That decision was scrutinized in the weeks that followed, with many wondering if Rodgers could make it work with Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith, and the rest of the Pittsburgh coaching staff and roster.
