"Russell Wilson turned back the clock on Sunday to put forth a vintage big-time performance and deliver the first real, competent showing by a New York Giants quarterback in years. The 36-year-old admitted he heard a lot of noise in the week leading up to the Giants' Week 2 matchup in Dallas against the Cowboys after he passed for just 168 yards in his team debut against the Washington Commanders. Plenty were calling for his job, yearning to see rookie Jaxson Dart take over Big Blue's offense after his strong preseason showing."
"All three of his touchdowns were over 25 yards, first connecting with Malik Nabers on a 29-yard score before nabbing two in the final minutes of regulation a 32-yard strike to Wan'Dale Robinson before a 48-yard bomb to Malik Nabers gave the Giants a three-point lead with 25 seconds left. That final rainbow ball to Nabers should have been the coup de grass on his big day. It should have been more than enough to give the Giants their first win of the season. But the defense blew it, undone by the mystifying play-calling of coordinator Shane Bowen."
Russell Wilson passed for 450 yards and three touchdowns in a 40-37 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The 36-year-old responded to preseason criticism after a 168-yard debut by delivering multiple big plays, including 29-, 32- and 48-yard touchdown passes to Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. The 48-yard touchdown to Nabers gave the Giants a three-point lead with 25 seconds remaining, but the defense surrendered the lead late. Defensive play-calling by coordinator Shane Bowen was described as mystifying. Wilson will remain the starting quarterback for at least another week and faces the Kansas City Chiefs next.
