The Dallas Cowboys suffered a tough Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, 28-20, at MetLife Stadium. Quarterback Dak Prescott performed well, completing 22 of his 34 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. However, the defense struggled as the Giants amassed 394 total yards, with 229 coming from their passing game. Jaxson Dart stood out for the Giants, completing 23 of his 29 passes for 230 yards, scoring all three of his team's touchdowns, and avoiding interceptions.
The Cowboys' performance was marred by nine penalties that cost them 90 yards, with the most damaging being a taunting penalty on Javonte Williams. This interference resulted in Brandon Aubrey missing an extra point kick, as it was taken from a longer distance due to the infraction. Despite Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer's attempt to add two points to the score, the Cowboys were forced to settle for the miss by Aubrey.
Cowboys tight end Javonte Williams added to the team's frustrations with his penalty, which led to the missed extra point. The Cowboys' defense allowed an average of 30.1 points per game last season, marking the worst performance in the entire NFL. The New York Giants, on the other hand, bounced back from their off-season changes by winning their first game under new coach John Harbaugh.
