Second half updates

Graham Gano warming up at halftime. I mean, maybe if they need a PAT ton win the game? pic.twitter.com/ucCKWtMXlb— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

The #Giants were tough in the first half.

The kicker debacle is peak NYG…but New York ran well, 4.8 YPC and Skattebo averages 6.5.

There's little space for the passing attack; the shots Russ took turned into two INTs and an INC.

New York is dictating defensively, forcing…— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

Brian Burns back in the game

Burns is back. That didn't look good, but he somehow is https://t.co/lxYfdeyUTY— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

Brian Burns landed awkwardly after jumping to bat down that pass. Trainers checking his left knee.— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

Burns walking off under his own power. These guys aren't built like us…— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

Russ has to get that pass up to Nabers earlier. They had a great feel last week against the Cowboys but can’t find their rhythm tonight.— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) September 22, 2025

Russell Wilson 2nd INT of the night on pass intended for Malik Nabers who is still looking for his first reception. #Giants pic.twitter.com/Dw5VywazL8— JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) September 22, 2025

Brian Burns injured after blocking a pass

George Karlaftis' power vs. Marcus Mbow could be an issue for the rookie, who played well last week in relief of James Hudson III.— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

Patrick Mahomes tries to hand the #Giants the ball, Bobby Okereke picks up the backwards pass fumble, and Mahomes strips the ball away and takes it back. Brutal missed opportunity there— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) September 22, 2025

Tyrone Tracy has been ruled out.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been downgraded to OUT with that shoulder injury— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) September 22, 2025

TOUCHDOWN SKATTEBO!

Cam Skattebo for 13 yards and a score!

It's easy to see why Daboll loves the rookie. pic.twitter.com/b9SeC3rdWm— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

(Marred by the Graham Gano injury)

Cam Skattebo second TD in as many weeks. But the Giants can't kick the extra point. Punter Jamie Gillan has it blocked.

Giants 6, Chiefs 6— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Brian Burns quick around the edge. pic.twitter.com/ouABqFsaf2— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

Brian Burns' power is underrated.

Overall, he is underrated. pic.twitter.com/ltO8e4eyJt— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

The Chiefs saw what happened last week in Dallas. They are keeping two deep safeties consistently. One always over the top of Malik Nabers.

Steve Spagnuolo knows a thing or two about scheming defenses.— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

The Giants defense keeps holding. Harrison Butker misses this FG attempt from 40 yards.

Chiefs 6, Giants 0— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Force a field goal attempt, but Harrison Butker is good from 48. Chiefs 6, Giants 0. https://t.co/nLl1S1VRHm— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) September 22, 2025

Tyrone Tracy has a shoulder injury. He is questionable to return.— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Giants challenging the Patrick Mahomes incompletion on the throwaway to avoid the Thibodeaux sack. Ball bounced on turf at Pacheco's feet. No one touches him, Pacheco throws the ball.

Good challenge by Giants. Loss of 8.— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) September 22, 2025

Missed facemask call. Costs the Giants and forces a punt.— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Officials missed a facemask on Cam Skattebo there. Brian Daboll is apoplectic— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) September 22, 2025

Tyrone Tray may be injured, he indicated his right arm while lying on the ground.

Huge collision along the Chiefs' sideline and Tyrone Tracy is shaken up.— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

Looks like they're checking Tracy's right shoulder.— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 22, 2025

Good coverage on second and third down by Tyler Nubin and Dru Phillips. Force a FG.

The difference right now: One team has a kicker. The other doesn't.

Chiefs 3, Giants 0— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Few successfully bend the corner through contact like Brian Burns 👻 pic.twitter.com/1hiz7Tc8Du— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

Abdul Carter is lined up at off ball linebacker with the Giants' starting defense. It's Bobby Okereke and Carter.

This has been coming for a couple weeks, especially with injuries at that position.

Now on 3rd down, Carter slides down to the D-line as a pass rusher— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) September 22, 2025

The #Giants moved the football on the ground vs. two-high out of the inverted wishbone.

A lot of stretch plays with the backs finding the seam OR, in Skattebo's case, just bouncing off guys.

This Graham Gano situation can't write itself. 10 plays for 41 yards with zero points.— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) September 22, 2025

Graham Gano is kicking into the kicking net on the sideline during the opening drive. So it looks like he'll go.— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 22, 2025

Follow all the action right here as the New York Giants host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in a meeting of 0-2 teams. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.

The Giants have started 0-2 in three consecutive seasons. They are 9-27 since making the playoffs in 2022. The Chiefs are 0-2 for the first time since 2014. They have appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls, winning two of those.

The Chiefs are 5.5-point favorites, per FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Giants could get a boost from the return of left tackle Andrew Thomas, expected to make his season debut after surgery for a Lisfranc injury suffered in Week 6 of the 2024 season. The Chiefs will be without speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy, already ruled out for the second straight week with a torn labrum suffered early in the Chiefs’ season-opening game.
