Giants defense, Graham Gano shine in big Giants victory over Panthers

A 1-0 Giants team (that’s weird to say) entered MetLife Stadium for a Week 2 matchup with the Panthers Sunday — the 2022 home-opener for Big Blue. And after 60 minutes, New York improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2016, defeating Carolina 19-16.

The home opener started slow. And I mean incredibly slow. Neither offense is led by a trusted quarterback who can overcome various setbacks, that’s for sure.

At the break, the score was 6-6, with neither team having formulated a touchdown drive. This came despite the fact the Giants’ first two possessions began in Carolina territory.
