Giants lead Cowboys 14-7 at halftime as defense falters

The Dallas Cowboys trail the New York Giants 14-7 at halftime of their Week 1 matchup. The Cowboys defense faced criticism after a poor two-minute drill allowed the Giants to score a touchdown before the break. Despite a Dak Prescott interception, the Cowboys could not prevent the Giants from completing a swift scoring drive capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass from Jaxson Dart to Isaiah Likely. The Giants accumulated 213 yards in the first half and converted four of five third downs. The Cowboys must address their defensive issues as they continue the game.
