US EditionRussell Wilson Will Remain the Giants’ Starting QB Going Into Week 2
Despite a 21-6 loss and Wilson's lowest completion rate in 53 games with 35+ attempts, coach Daboll trusts the veteran quarterback's experience over rookie Jaxson Dart.
- On Monday, Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Russell Wilson will start Sunday at Dallas despite a poor Week 1 performance.
- The Giants previously committed to Wilson with a one-year, $10.5 million deal, and after a game tape review, Daboll blamed collective failures rather than Wilson alone.
- Russell Wilson finished 17 of 37 for 168 yards with no touchdown in Week 1 vs. Washington Commanders, according to game summaries.
- Daboll said he has confidence in Russ, and the Giants face a must-win game at Dallas, where losses would raise stakes if they start 0-2.
- Attention on Dart signals that if losses pile up this year, the Giants may consider turning to the rookie quarterback, a move the organization says requires confidence in his readiness.
