  "account": "The New York Giants are set to host the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium for their regular-season opener on Sunday night, with the goal of breaking a surprising streak. Since the $1.6 billion stadium's opening, the Giants have hosted seven regular-season home games in East Rutherford, but have yet to win a Week 1 home game since their victory against the Carolina Panthers in 2010. This recent stat has been highlighted on a recent podcast by @PLeonardNYDN, noting that the Giants have not secured a Week 1 home win since September 12, 2010, when they beat Carolina 31-18 at the newly named MetLife Stadium. While it's not guaranteed, the notion of something needing to change to break this streak could be applicable. The Giants, led by their new coaching staff under John Harbaugh and featuring the dynamic play of Jaxson Dart, hope to usher in a new era of Big Blue football that could end this losing streak. It won't be an easy task, as they start as home underdogs, but if they manage to emerge victorious against their division rivals, it would be a significant statement for the team.",
