Muasau posted six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Muasau had a successful NFL regular-season debut after being selected in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft. The linebacker recorded two particularly notable plays -- an interception of Sam Darnold late in the third quarter and a tackle of running back Myles Gaskin for a three-yard loss late in the fourth, though Minnesota was essentially running out the clock on the latter play. Muasau played 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest, earning that workload with his strong play. Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Micah McFadden was slated to be on a snap "pitch count" if Muasua struggled, but McFadden didn't end up seeing the field due to the rookie's performance.
