East Rutherford, NJ — In a thrilling opening week matchup at MetLife Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys emerged victorious over the New York Giants. The game showcased the Cowboys’ impressive offensive and defensive prowess.
Quarterback Dak Prescott led the charge with a solid performance, throwing for 156 yards, no interceptions, and one touchdown. Following the game, he expressed his satisfaction with the win, saying, “It’s a great way to start the season. I’m proud of the team’s effort, and we’re looking to build on this momentum as the season progresses.”
The Cowboys’ ground game was also a force to be reckoned with, as running back Tony Pollard powered through the Giants’ defense, amassing an impressive 120 yards on 26 rushing attempts and scoring one touchdown.
On the defensive side, the Cowboys intercepted Giants quarterback Daniel Jones five times, returning two of them for touchdowns. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis played a crucial role in the victory, contributing two interceptions and one of the defensive touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Daniel Jones struggled throughout the game, completing only 48 percent of his passes and failing to throw a single touchdown pass.
