That's the same headline I would have used if this had been reversed yesterday. It's best not to get too carried away with one game because that was a bad Giants team with a house cleaning in the near future.
The only thing that was not as bad as anticipated was their OL and they did a number on the Cowboys DL, they will have to do better than that.
I was most surprised by the Cowboys lack of rust on their offense, they came out firing and that was a real treat to see a real passing game for a change. Prescott was right, he was ready to play some football. And Moore had a terrific debut and was weapon conscious the entire game.
There were only a few teams really ready to play as most of the play was sloppy but we're already off to a surprising start with CLE not looking ready for the big time and their QB acting like a little boy in the post game. And some injuries are going to have an effect even this early in the season.
And while it is only one game, it was exactly what Kellen the Young needed to establish to send a message to future DC's. They have to defend all of the weapons, not just the RB or the WR1. Gallup looks ready to erase that soph slump theory, he's a real pleasure to watch grow.
From the irony department, this time last season we were all concerned about the WR's, or lack thereof, and this team has weapons aplenty and while Prescott was off the mark on a couple of those throws, his receivers did their job in playing the ball and that one pass that looked behind the WR was actually protecting him from a DB coming across. What looked like a poor throw was actually a great throw and appreciated by his WR.
And while it is still one game, it was the one game the QB needed and the idea of waiting this season out for the contract is gone. There were a lot, a lot, of receivers on the other end of those passes wanting him to get paid as well.
Finally, it still is just one game but 1-0 and in the division. I'll take it.

Agree, 100%
I want to see Moore go for the jugular as often as whenever the game is well in hand like yesterday.
