When the Giants left AT&T Stadium in October, having just been handed their fifth straight loss, it seemed as if their season was over before it even had a chance to begin. Not only were they winless, but for the past few weeks, they had been playing without Saquon Barkley.
The Cowboys won that game, 37-34 — Greg Zuerlein kicked a tying 40-yard field goal with 1:56 left and won the game with a 34-yarder as time expired — but their hopes of accomplishing anything beyond it seemed to be carted off the field with Dak Prescott and his severely fractured ankle that same day.
