ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys wanted to be more aggressive offensively at the start of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.
It may or may not have been an answer to the criticisms of an offense that produced just eight points in the season-opening loss to the Carolina Panthers, or a response to the malaise that has hung around the passing game since the second half of the 2017 season.
On the third play from scrimmage, Dak Prescott let loose with a deep ball to Tavon Austin for a 64-yard touchdown that sparked a Cowboys crowd that was not quite ready to dive in with both feet and offer up their support.
