Cowboys at Giants: Thoughts from across enemy lines

The New York Giants are preparing to open their 2026 campaign at MetLife Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, with wideout Malik Nabers carrying a questionable designation due to a knee issue. The matchup could mark the receiver's first contest at his home venue in an entire year, following a previous September 28 appearance where New York edged the Los Angeles Chargers 21-18.

This divisional tilt represents the start of a fresh regime led by newly appointed head coach John Harbaugh, who recently pushed back against local media questions to avoid tipping off Dallas. The franchise is aiming to rebound after missing postseason action since 2022 and enduring three consecutive sub-seven-win campaigns.

Those struggles included a 3-14 record in 2024, followed by a 4-13 showing in 2025 where former head coach Brian Daboll was dismissed following an 0-2 start and interim leader Mike Kafka completed the season.
