Game Overview
Week 1 NFL game featuring the Washington Commanders hosting the New York Giants, marking the season opener with both teams eager to set initial momentum.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Commanders come off a strong prior season with a 14-6 record and a deep playoff run, though finishing preseason with a heavy loss to the Eagles.

- No major injuries reported that would significantly alter starting lineups or key positions for either team at the start of the season.
