At long last, football is back! The season officially kicked off Thursday night with the Lions beating the Chiefs, but the real season begins Sunday night with America’s Team. The Cowboys will head to New Jersey to take on the Giants, a foe who once seemed like an annual opponent in Week 1. In that regard, this feels familiar.
That said, these Giants are quite different from the Giants that faced the Cowboys in Week 1 six times out of eight seasons from 2012 to 2019. So, too, are the Cowboys for that matter.
In Dallas, Mike McCarthy is the boss, entering his fourth season as head coach.
