“We have to get our stuff right.”
That was offensive coordinator Mike Kafka talking this week about what the New York Giants need to do this week to have a better performance against the Dallas Cowboys than they did Week 1 in a touchdown-less 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders.
How, though, can the Giants get that “stuff” right?
They scored just two field goals against Washington, one of those a 55-yarder by Graham Gano. They failed to get a touchdown with seven tries from the 10-yard line, including a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line. They were 0 for 2 in the red zone. They were just 4 of 16 (25%) on third-down conversions. Their running backs gained just 30 yards on 15 carries. Russell Wilson was just 17 of 37 (45.9%) passing, and was often uncomfortable in the pocket.
