The New York Giants didn’t give their home fans much to cheer about during Sunday’s 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
After the game, Giants star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was asked about hearing boos rain down from the crowd at MetLife Stadium, and he didn’t hesitate to voice his displeasure.
“I don’t respect it, honestly,” Lawrence told reporters. “I get it, they want to see their team win. It’s just a rough patch. It is what it is.”

The Giants held a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter, but the Vikings scored a touchdown later in the frame and never looked back. New York quarterback Daniel Jones was under duress for most of the game, getting sacked five times and finishing with 186 yards and two interceptions on 22-of-42 passing.
After a 6-11 finish to the 2023 season, fans were hoping to see the Giants put forth a better effort in the 2024 opener. Unfortunately, Sunday’s game indicated that not much has changed for New York, so it’s understandable that fans were disappointed.
The Giants will try to bounce back when they visit the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Perhaps playing in front of a road crowd will yield better results for New York.
