Week 1 vs. NYG
Date published: Sept. 11, 2019

Great offensive game for Dallas, but the defense could have been much better.

The Cowboys allowed 470 yards of total offense, 25 first downs, 7.2 yards per play and were unable to get a single three-and-out in their 2019 debut. That won’t cut it for a defense with a bar as high as they set last season.

Giants averaged 7.1 yards per play!!!

Eli Manning: 30/44, 306 yards, 1 TD

Barkley had a 59-yard explosive run that led to Giants first TD and lead in the first quarter.

LVE - 3.5 splashes
Xavier Woods - 1.5 splashes
DLaw - 4.5 splashes
Jeff Heath - 2.5 splashes
