One might say the word ‘defeat’ is not enough to describe the 40-0 spanking that the Dallas Cowboys delivered to the New York Giants in their season opener at home on MetLife field in New York. Everything that could go wrong for the Giants that day went wrong. The whole team struggled to gain any type of momentum from the first whistle to the last. From fumbles to interceptions to even a blocked kick being returned for a touchdown. The weather was not much help either as a steady downpour of rain streamed over the stadium. Head coach of the Giants Brian Daboll had this to say about the terrifying defeat, “I’d say when you walk out after a game like that, there is a lot of emotion,” Daboll said Monday. “You put everything you got into it, and we didn’t perform well and that starts with me. There is a self-reflection and then you watch the tape, you go through whether it’s decisions, whether it’s plays, whether it’s techniques and then you move on to the next week.” The Giants hope to right their wrongs in week 2 as they play the Arizona Cardinals, who are without their starting quarterback Kyler Murray and whose defense ranks among the worst in the league. All that is left to do is wait and see to observe if this week of practice was enough to turn the Giants back on the right path and back in the race for a Super Bowl title.
