Dexter Lawrence goes scorched earth on Giants fans for booing a 28-6 loss

The 2024 season began with a loss for Dexter Lawrence and the New York Giants. While many expected that for a team that is likely not going to make the playoffs, the matter in which the Minnesota Vikings beat them up on the road is what got fans hot and bothered.

The Vikings won 28-6 in a game that made Sam Darnold look like Fran Tarkenton and Daniel Jones look like a slightly worse version of Daniel Jones. Jones threw two picks and struggled to move the ball unless he connected with Malik Nabers. In Game 1 of the season, fans are already fed up.

Fans were seen heading to the exits after a pick-six by Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, as they knew the game ended right then and there. Lawrence and the Giants saw boos rained down upon them, and the star defensive tackle didn't like how the fans started to turn on their team.

Lawrence said that he doesn't respect the fans who booed them, calling this start a "rough patch." While this isn't anywhere close to the thermonuclear Evan Neal hamburger-flipping comments from last season, going after the fans has the same success rate as going against Floyd Mayweather.

While Lawrence may not have been the biggest reason the Giants lost, his defensive line certainly had a tough go of it. Aaron Jones ran for 94 yards on just 14 carries, controlling the clock as Minnesota looked to put the Giants on ice. Stopping that is his department.

Jones was the main player fans were booing, and did they ever have a reason to do so today. The lack of a touchdown and two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six that could have been accompanied with wacky clown music due to how ridiculous it was, made fans who want a new signal-caller even more emboldened to let their feelings be known.

The Giants' schedule doesn't get easier from here, as they have a matchup with two division rivals in the Commanders and Cowboys followed by a high-end Browns defense. Jones, however, is at the point where no opponent can be viewed as a get-right game.

Lawrence may not like the boos, but the Giants may be in line fore a few more unfortunate serenades this season.
