The New York Giants welcomed the Tennessee Titans to MetLife Stadium for their Week 3 matchup, hoping to improve to 2-1 on the season.
There were plenty of storylines entering the game, including Brian Daboll’s return to MetLife Stadium, a handful of former Giants who signed with the Titans this offseason, and Giants coaches Brian Callahan and Dennard Wilson facing their former team.
The weather did Jameis Winston no favors in his first start following Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury. The Giants and Titans dealt with rough conditions all afternoon, and it proved to be a difficult day for both offenses.
After going up 9-0 at halftime, the Giants added a field goal on their first drive of the second half to take a 12-0 lead. The Titans put their first points
on the board when Wan’Dale Robinson scored a touchdown with 5:35 left in the fourth quarter.
The Giants stalled on the ensuing drive and gave the Titans a chance to steal the game. Jevon Holland, who may very well be the Giants’ most valuable player so far this season, intercepted Cam Ward in the end zone with under a minute remaining to secure the win for Big Blue.
With the victory, the Giants moved to 2-1 on the season. Here’s how X reacted.
Too close for comfort against one of the worst teams in the league.

Hard to look worse than the Giants did and win the game.
#Giants safety Jevon Holland is up to three interceptions this season.

Update: the pass rush did not win the game and in fact did nothing again BUT Jevon Holland saves the day again.

Holland with an absurdly good start to his second Giants season. Dennard Wilson said he could be one of NFL’s best salaries in his scheme. Maybe he was right! https://t.co/NDLRmZ08bd
2-1 New York Giants. On to the next one

That was going to be the worst Giants loss since the Miracle at the Meadowlands.

#Giants lose that game the last 3 years.

Instead, their former head coach and the QB that they tried to trade up to draft end up making the mistakes and the Giants hang on for a 12-7 win. Prolongs the seaosn.
Love Jameis for this team. Just not on the field. Find a QB this week.

I'm not sure what Cam Ward was thinking there
— Lance Medow (@LanceMedow) September 27, 2026
he was better off running toward the end zone instead of floating it into way too much traffic
Jevon Holland now has 3 INT in as many games for a new career high#TENvsNYG
That Daboll reaction >>>>

It was ugly. But it’s a win! Robert Saleh coached one of the worst games I’ve ever seen in my life
