As a rookie in 2016, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s first career start was against the Giants, and the Cowboys lost.

Troy Aikman knows it, and the Cowboys know it, too: There are no moral victories in the NFL.

Welcome to your Week 2 quarterback start ‘em and sit’ em decision.

Four years ago, Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys almost beat the Super Bowl champs on the road in the NFL opener in his return from an injury that played a big part in a losing record the previous season.

The Cowboys established a ground game with two rushing touchdowns on their first two drives, used heavy motion and play-action in the passing game, and put their top dog at WR CeeDee Lamb in positions to make big plays all night – the execution of which down the stretch let them down.

The Dallas Cowboys fell short in Week 1, but not because of Dak Prescott, who scored high on the first QB report card of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys are entering this game angry and hungry. The New York Giants have been hangry since 2022, but find themselves in a desolate cycle of insanity, devoid of hope. This season could get ugly fast, and for the third consecutive season, the Giants enter Week 2 in a near must-win situation.

George Pickens shared an admission about how he felt in his first game with the Dallas Cowboys and analyzed the performance of the offense led by Dak Prescott.
