The Washington Commanders open their 2025 season at Northwest Stadium against the New York Giants. After last year’s NFC Championship run, expectations in Washington are higher than they’ve been in decades.

Jayden Daniels enters his second season as starter with a deeper supporting cast and a scheme tailored by offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

With a rookie quarterback waiting in the wings and young talent developing, New York isn’t short on potential despite its recent struggles.
