The Dallas Cowboys are officially 0-1. In what was quite the contest, the Dak Prescott-led Cowboys could not get it done against the New York Giants. The game started out well when the Cowboys had consecutive 15-play drives. However, each drive ended in just three points.
On the Giants' third offensive drive, Eli Manning came out firing and New York took the lead by just four points. Dallas answered back with another field goal. Then the Giants scored a touchdown before the end of the half to make it 13-9 after kicker Randy Bullock failed to connect on the extra point.
After the half, the Cowboys looked much improved. They made adjustments on the defensive side of the ball and started finding ways to get pressure on Manning. After an interception from Brandon Carr to start the half, the Cowboys then forced three consecutive punts from the Giants.
Dallas got the ball with around 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter up six points in position to put the game out of reach. Instead, the offense failed and the Cowboys went four-and-out. On the following possession, the Giants marched down to field to put seven on the board to go up 20-19. Dallas responded with six yards on eight plays.
While the Cowboys managed to get the ball back, they were without any timeouts and had only 1:05 left in the game. Prescott was able to get the offense down the field. However, with no timeouts, the Cowboys simply ran out of time after Terrance Williams failed to get out of the bounds and the Cowboys failed to clock it in time.
Dallas' loss against New York marks the first time the Cowboys have lost to Giants in Week 1. This loss will sting, but there were some things to be happy about.
