“Bros getting cut at halftime”: NFL fans react to James Hudson yelling at Brian Daboll for getting benched after slapping Cowboys DB James Houston

The New York Giants started James Hudson against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday as left tackle Andrew Thomas is still mending his foot injury. However, he did not even last a couple of drives on the field.

The Giants benched Hudson after the LT slapped the Cowboys' defensive back James Houston and had four penalties in the first drive. He went berserk after getting benched. In a clip shared by NFL insider Ari Meirov, the Giants' left tackle could be seen yelling at coach Brian Daboll.

"#Giants OT James Hudson was not happy that he was benched," the caption read.

Man we need Andrew Thomas back," a fan said.

How much have James Hudson's penalties impacted the Giants?

At one point, the Giants' total gains were 15 times the Cowboys', and they still had to settle for just two field goals. They ended the first quarter with a 6-0 lead. The lead could have been much more if not for penalties because of James Hudson.

Graham Gano scored the first field goal from 38 yards in the ninth minute to put the Giants 3-0 up. He doubled the team's lead by scoring another field goal from 33 yards with a little over one minute left in the first quarter.

Russell Wilson completed 16 of 19 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown in the first 25 minutes. The 2025 NFL season has already seen multiple comebacks and Wilson would not like to be at the receiving end of one.
