The New York Giants started slowly, and except for one drive, showed little offense in Texas. The defense was serviceable, but that was not enough as the G-Men dropped their opener 19-3 to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants not only lost their opener, but they dropped down in the NFC East right from the jump. It’s not a good scenario for the G-Men heading into their home opener against the Detroit Lions on “Monday Night Football”. After the Lions contest, the G-Men travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 24th.
The Detroit game has suddenly become a must-win, against a good opponent.
