EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants lost 40-0 at home to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. It was their worst season-opening loss in franchise history, even worse than the 35-0 drubbing to these same Cowboys in 1995.
Embarrassing is one way to describe this latest demolition, especially with the Giants coming off a promising season in which they made the playoffs and won a postseason game in their first year under coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. But these Giants, despite their offseason additions, had a field goal blocked for a touchdown, an interception returned for a touchdown, allowed seven sacks, threw a pair of interceptions and lost a fumble.
