It will be a familiar foe — actually, two of them — for the Giants as they embark on their 2025 season, as they open up on the road Sept. 7 at Washington and then face the Cowboys on the road on Sept. 14 in Week 2.
It will be an early taste of NFC East competition for a team coming off a last-place finish in the division.
The challenging start does not get a reprieve after the Giants finally get to play a home game, as they will face Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in Week 3, under the lights at MetLife Stadium for a nationally televised Sunday night game — expect a Taylor Swift sighting.
In Week 4, it is another home game for the Giants, this time against another 2024 playoff team in the Chargers.

The season opener will be a reminder of how a team can go from rags to riches rather quickly when there is a new, capable, vibrant quarterback running the show.
Predict the Giants' record through four games?
The Giants lost both games to the Commanders last season, two close-call losses that fueled the Commanders’ resurgence and doomed the Giants in their eventual 3-14 disaster of a season.
In Week 3 last season, the Giants lost, 21-18, in Washington in a game that had to be seen to be believed. The Commanders did not score a single touchdown, getting all their points on seven Austin Seibert field goals.

Rookie Jayden Daniels notched his first NFL victory, directing a 65-yard scoring drive that ended with Seibert’s game-winning field goal as time expired.
In Week 9, the Commanders beat the Giants, 27-22, at MetLife Stadium. A sack-fumble by Jones was not helpful as the Giants lost their fourth consecutive game to fall to 2-7.
In Week 2, the Giants will try to do something they have not been able to accomplish since 2016 — escape AT&T Stadium with a victory.
They have lost eight straight games in Arlington, Texas and are 1-11 anywhere in their last 12 games with the Cowboys.
The combined regular-season records of the first four Giants opponents in 2024 was 45-23.
