Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants face off in week one
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys face the New York Giants in their season opener this week at MetLife Stadium. Dallas enters the game with significant historical success against the franchise, holding a 78-48-2 all-time lead. Quarterback Dak Prescott has remained a consistent performer against New York throughout his career, though the Cowboys must navigate the absence of offensive lineman Tyler Smith due to a thumb injury. The Giants begin their season under head coach John Harbaugh, who has a 4-1 coaching record against Dallas. New York’s offensive strategy is expected to feature a run-heavy approach involving Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to support quarterback Jaxson Dart. This game marks the first time Christian Parker will call plays for the Dallas defense.
