ARLINGTON -- It's premature to proclaim this Cowboys team is better than the one that took the field last season.
But it did only take a few hours to clear a hurdle last year's team couldn't.
It turns out the Cowboys can beat the New York Giants. Not only beat them, but dominate from start to finish.
The Cowboys 19-3 victory in Sunday night's regular season opener is an early signal that this team intends to build on the surprising foundation it laid in 2016. The only team quarterback Dak Prescott faced as a rookie and failed to beat has been vanquished.
