How to watch NY Giants-Washington Commanders for free: Time and streaming

After a week one performance that ended with them in No. 31 of 32 spots on the NY Post’s NFL power rankings, the Giants are back in action today against rookie QB Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders

Despite the disastrous start, Daniel Jones will be the Giants’ starting quarterback again in Week 2, and the team narrowly avoided a major blow to their offense this week. Rookie Malik Nabers was added to the injury report on Thursday, but practiced on Friday and is expected to play today.

The Giants and Commanders are both entering today’s game off Week 1 losses, but the game is highly anticipated because it’ll mark the first time former LSU teammates and close friends Daniels and Nabers play against each other in the NFL.
