Russell Wilson Today

HEYTC AI

Russell Wilson, ranked #27 in HeyTC AI Rankings, closed out a dismal 4-13 Giants season with a heartbreaking 40-37 overtime playoff loss to the Cowboys in their Wild Card elimination game, where he dazzled by completing 30-of-41 passes for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, including a late 48-yard go-ahead score to Malik Nabers. Despite the heroics, New York's defense faltered late, capping Wilson's limited 2025 stint of just three starts (0-3, 831 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT) after a shocking Grade 2 hamstring tear before his Week 2 monster game that got him benched behind rookie Jaxson Dart. Post-game, the 37-year-old vet declared he's "not blinking" on playing in 2026, now a free agent shopping teams with shaky QB rooms while the Giants pivot to Dart and Jameis Winston. Fans eyeing a bounce-back story, Wilson's mobility and arm talent could land him a bridge role elsewhere this offseason.

How did Russell Wilson play in his last game for the New York Giants?

In the Giants’ regular-season finale, Russell Wilson started despite dealing with what was later revealed to be a Grade 2 hamstring tear, but the Giants’ offense again struggled and their season ended without a playoff berth.
