Giants Play Better, But Drop to 0-2

 Well, you can't pin all the blame on Daniel Jones for this one. 

Not when Jones threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns. He gave his team a chance to win the game. 

But the Giants defense decided not to come to play at all in Washington on Sunday, as the G-Men fell to 0-2 following a 21-18 loss. Washington's rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels did whatever he wanted throwing for 226 yards on 23-of-29 passing.

Meanwhile Brian Robinson Jr. gashed Big Blue for 133 yards on the ground. Overall, Washington rolled up 425 yards of offense and help the football for over 37 minutes of action. 

Sure the Giants held Washington to six field goals, but it doesn't matter when your defense can't get turnovers, and can't make a rookie quarterback look like, well, a rookie. 

So here are the Giants at 0-2 for the 10th time in the last 12 seasons. It's a familiar sick feeling Giants fans have grown accustomed to. It feels like it will be a long time before Big Blue sees the win column this season.
