New York Giants Week 2 Preview: A Pivotal TNF Matchup with the Washington Football Team
Game Preview - September 16, 2021
Following their brutal, disappointing season-opening loss at home to the Denver Broncos, the New York Giants have no time to patch their wounds. The NFL schedule makers have not been friendly to the organization in recent years, including this season, and now the league overlords have handed the Giants another challenge. They must rebound quickly and travel to FedEx Field for their second game in five days, a contest against the defensive-minded Washington Football Team.
The Giants and Washington are set to face off for the first time this season on Thursday Night Football in an important divisional matchup that could dictate the early fate of their seasons given their respective schedules. The two franchises enter Thursday at 0-1 after losing their Week 1 games to the Broncos and LA Chargers, with both aiming desperately to avoid the 0-2 hole. For the Giants, falling into that spot would be the fifth consecutive time since 2016–their last winning season–they’ve done so.
