Russell Wilson is leading a bad Giants' offensive performance in Week 1
Right now, Russell Wilson is a measly 9/16 for 69 yards. Their leading rusher has just 20 yards on seven carries, and Malik Nabers has three receptions for 34 yards. The Giants have allowed two sacks and have punted four times.
They've also been called for three penalties and are a poor 3/9 on third down. Thus far, the Russell Wilson era is getting off to the most expected start imaginable. You have to wonder just how long it's going to take before the New York Giants hand the reigns over to QB Jaxson Dart.
