Description: The Dallas Cowboys’ season opener ended in a brutal 28-20 loss to the New York Giants, exposing deep defensive flaws despite new leadership and roster changes. The defense struggled mightily on third downs, allowing nine of ten conversions, and failed to contain the Giants’ offense, which controlled the clock and ran out the clock in the final minutes. Dak Prescott’s costly interception led to two Giants touchdowns, breaking a tie game. Coach Schottenheimer admitted young players faltered covering running backs, stressing that growth comes from these setbacks. With safety Malik Hooker possibly injured and the defense ranking last in expected points allowed per play, fans are left wondering if familiar problems will repeat — especially as they face Washington in a must-win divisional clash.
