That wound up going rather well.
After a slightly shaky start, the Dallas Cowboys asserted themselves to notch a 35-17 opening weekend victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a game where a rookie offensive coordinator looked like a genius, and a quarterback that is doubted by many was statistically perfect, posting a 158.3 passer rating while throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns. It was so dominant a performance that Cooper Rush came on in relief in the fourth quarter, and the newly-rich running back also got to sit out the final minutes of the game.
