While the Cowboys made it close with the New York Giants in their 2016 opening game on Sunday afternoon, Dallas fell by a final of 20-19 at AT&T Stadium.
Dallas started the game up 6-0 behind two Dan Bailey field goals before a Larry Donnell touchdown put the Giants up 7-6. Bailey would go on to hit another field goal to put Dallas back up 9-7 before the teams exchanged the lead three times down the stretch.
Down by one with just a little more than a minute left in the game, the Cowboys got the ball back on their own 20-yard line with a chance to get the go-ahead score.
