The New York Giants’ season started with a 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, bringing their record to an ominous 0-3. The game, played at MetLife Stadium, saw the Chiefs outlasting the Giants in both the running and passing game, while the Giants’ offense struggled to find consistency. Quarterback Russell Wilson, who had previously shown promise, threw two costly interceptions that seemed to seal the Giants’ fate. With the team’s season opener loss in Atlanta and a second straight loss in Week 2, fans have grown increasingly frustrated with Wilson’s performance.
As the Giants fell to 0-3, the crowd at MetLife Stadium began chanting ‘We want Dart!’ in obvious support for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has yet to play in the NFL. The chants, which were frequent throughout the game, were a clear indication that fans are growing impatient with Wilson’s performance. Coach Brian Daboll, who has shown confidence in Wilson despite the losses, faced pressure to make a decision about the quarterback situation. However, with the season still young, the Giants may have time to see if Wilson can turn his performance around before considering a change.
The call for Dart is a significant development for the Giants, as it reflects a shift in fan sentiment and could influence the team’s decision-making process. With the NFL season just getting underway, the Giants’ front office is under pressure to find a solution to their quarterback woes. Whether they choose to stick with Wilson or give Dart a chance to prove himself remains to be seen. For now, the chants at MetLife Stadium are a clear sign that the fans are demanding action.
