John Harbaugh’s Giants launched their new era with a 28-20 victory over the Cowboys, a result marked by a pivotal Dak Prescott turnover and strong play from Jaxson Dart. This win, described by GN sports/nfl (en-US) as a declaration of a new competitive standard, effectively resets the divisional standings and reinvigorates the historic New York-Dallas rivalry.

  • According to GN sports/nfl (en-US), the Giants' dominant performance was fueled by a crucial Dak Prescott interception just before halftime, which set up a long scoring drive that put New York ahead for good. The article also notes that despite four fumbles and significant penalties, Jaxson Dart outplayed Prescott with three touchdown passes, signaling a renewed rivalry after Dallas had held a 16-2 series lead since 2017.
