The 2015 NFL season is upon us. The training-camp practices, preseason games and roster cuts are in the rearview mirror, and it is time to play games that count. The Dallas Cowboys' pursuit of a sixth Lombardi Trophy will begin Sunday at 7:30 p.m. CT at Cowboys Stadium as they match up with their NFC East rival, the New York Giants.
With expectations as high as any Cowboys season in recent memory, the team will look to get off to a hot start against a Giants team that is coming off of a disappointing 2014 season and an ominous 2015 offseason. After investing the ninth overall pick in the draft on offensive lineman Ereck Flowers from the University of Miami, the Giants lost starting left tackle Will Beatty for the season to a torn pectoral muscle, which will force Flowers immediately into the premier offensive line position.
In addition to the issues along the offensive line, premiere pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul suffered a Fourth of July fireworks incident that cost him his right index finger and has yet to be cleared medically. Victor Cruz was able to come back from the knee injury he suffered last season, but he suffered a calf injury in training camp and did not participate in practice on Wednesday, which casts doubts on his availability for Sunday’s game.
This game presents an opportunity for the Cowboys to take a stance at the top of their division, to prove that the 12-4 finish in 2014 was far from a fluke and to start 2015 on the right foot.
