Sunday night’s Cowboys-Giants game kicked off at 8:20 Eastern Time, and by 8:45 or so, the only question remaining was how bad of a whomping this game would be.
Dallas won the game, which is somewhat like saying the Ice Age was a touch brisk. The Cowboys unleashed a beatdown literally unprecedented in team history, as the numbers prove. According to ESPN Stats & Info (hide your eyes, Giants fans):
The 40-0 win was the largest shutout victory in Dallas history.
Dallas is the fifth team in NFL history to open their season with a 40-plus-point shutout on the road, and the first since the 1999 Steelers did it to the Browns.
