The 2025 season is the New York Giants' 101st in the National Football League (NFL) and their fourth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen.
The Giants finished the 2024 season with a 3–14 record and received the 3rd pick in the 2025 NFL draft, [1] which they used to select Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter. They will attempt to improve on this record, make the playoffs after a three-year absence, and end their 13-year division title drought, which is currently the longest active drought in the NFC. The first victory of the season will be the 750th lifetime win in the club's 101 seasons. With their week 3 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, this season began with the team's fourth 0–3 start in nine seasons. This is the first season since 2018 that Daniel Jones is not on the team's roster, as he was released after the conclusion of the 2024 season.

The Giants failed to score a touchdown in Week 1 for the third consecutive season, becoming the first team to do so since the Detroit Lions from 1940 to 1942. Left tackle Andrew Thomas was ruled out prior to the game due to his foot injury that sidelined him for most of the previous season, and his absence was felt as Russell Wilson was under duress the entire afternoon. The Giants' run game was also stymied all day, only gaining 74 yards on the ground compared to the Commanders' 220.
The Giants ran a total of 13 plays in goal-to-go range and were unable to punch it in at any point. This marked the first time since 1979 that the Giants failed to score a touchdown in an away game against Washington as well as the first time the Giants lost three or more games in a row to Washington since losing four straight against them from 1998 to 2000.

Despite a very strong offensive performance in the second half, numerous penalties and mishaps would ultimately cost the Giants the game. The Giants drew 21 total flags and were penalized 14 times for a franchise-record 160 yards. On their opening drive after a flag wiped off a 67-yard return for Gunner Olszewski, left tackle James Hudson III committed four penalties, the most for a player on a single drive since 2000. His fourth penalty was especially costly as Wan'Dale Robinson caught a pass for 51 yards and was downed at the 2-yard line, but then Hudson was called for a personal foul after the play which brought the ball 15 yards back to the 17. The Giants then had to settle for a field goal to end that drive. Hudson was subsequently benched and replaced with Marcus Mbow on the next drive.
The Giants scored four touchdowns in the game but only once in the red zone in five attempts, when rookie running back Cam Skattebo scored his first NFL touchdown. This came right after rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart made his NFL debut early in the fourth quarter, handing the ball off to Skattebo who ran the ball 24 yards to the 1-yard line of Dallas right before scoring on the next play.
Down 34–30, Russell Wilson found Malik Nabers for a 48-yard go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, Nabers' second touchdown of the game. However, Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey would kick a game-tying 64-yard field goal as the clock expired, sending the game into overtime.
After both teams exchanged possessions in overtime, Russell Wilson threw an interception to Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson, and Aubrey would kick the game-winning 46-yard field goal with four seconds left on the clock, handing the Giants their ninth consecutive loss to Dallas dating back to 2021, as well as their ninth consecutive road loss to Dallas, going back to 2017. It is the eleventh time in the last thirteen seasons the Giants have started 0–2, dating back to 2013. Additionally, this marked the first time since 2005 that a Giants-Cowboys game went to overtime.

Andrew Thomas made his season debut (on a limited snap count), but the Giants' offense was lackluster, converting just once on 3rd down in ten attempts. Malik Nabers was held in check, only having two receptions for 13 yards.
Cam Skattebo scored the only Giants touchdown on the night and recorded over 120 total scrimmage yards. However, punter Jamie Gillan attempted the extra point after the touchdown, and the kick was blocked (it was announced that kicker Graham Gano had suffered a groin injury during the pregame and he did not appear until the fourth quarter).
With this loss, the Giants started 0–3 for the first time since 2021.
