The NFL regular season resumes with the New York Giants preparing for a contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas enters the matchup following a significant defensive overhaul, including the hiring of defensive coordinator Christian Parker and a transition to a base 3-4 scheme. The Giants passed on selecting Caleb Downs during the draft, choosing Arvell Reese and Sisi Mauigoa instead. While observers view Downs as a potential future standout, the New York front office maintains confidence in its current draft picks. The game serves as a test for the Cowboys' offensive line, which faces concerns regarding consistency and injury issues for tackles Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele. The New York pass rush aims to pressure quarterback Dak Prescott and contain receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to secure a victory.
