The New York Giants were demolished in Week 1, getting stomped 40–0 by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The Cowboys ran all over the Giants’ defense as they played with a lead and cruised to victory. Despite New York’s struggles against the run, rookie seventh-round pick DL Jordon Riley managed to turn in a stellar performance. The summer standout made some solid plays in run defense, earning high marks from Pro Football Focus and proving to the coaching staff that he deserves more playing time this season.
