A ferocious Giants protection intercepted Justin Herbert twice. Jaxson Dart persevered by means of a bodily first NFL begin, and Brian Daboll pulled his crew’s 2025 season from the ashes with a 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
A house crowd that had booed Russell Wilson off the sector one week in the past was chanting “Let’s go, Giants” with eight minutes left in Sunday’s fourth quarter.
That’s as a result of Dart scored a 15-yard dashing landing on his first NFL drive. A ferocious move rush by Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux had Herbert and the Chargers’ passing sport on its heels all day.
And Dexter Lawrence and Dru Phillips interceptions set the offense up on the Chargers’ 3-yard line twice, which resulted in 10 factors for Dart’s offense on a shovel TD move to Theo Johnson and a Jude McAtamney subject aim.
The Giants (1-3) probably misplaced high receiver Malik Nabers for the remainder of the season to a torn proper ACL, which will probably be confirmed with an MRI on Monday.
And Dart’s offense failed twice to ice the sport late within the fourth quarter, which gave the Chargers the ball again down by three factors with lower than a minute to play.
However the crew didn’t let Nabers’ second quarter damage smash their battle and their day on their approach to their first win of the season. And that offered hope and promise for a corporation that had been teetering on catastrophe.
The Giants now will fly to New Orleans (0-4) with a chance to win two straight if they’ll beat the winless Saints.
