The Dallas Cowboys fell to the division-rival New York Giants in their season opener on Sunday night, sparking concerns regarding their expectations moving forward. The Giants came out on top with a 28-20 final score. New York quarterback Jaxson Dart out-dueled Cowboys signal caller Dak Prescott, completing 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 230 yards and three touchdowns.
The Cowboys entered the 2026 season with high expectations, particularly when it came to improvements on the defensive side of the ball.

Despite this disappointing season-opening loss, Prescott is still optimistic about the Cowboys' outlook moving forward.

I think that was a huge point in the game.” The Cowboys will look for their first victory of the 2026 season against the Washington Commanders this coming Sunday.
