Cowboys did the talking, but Giants looked like the most improved team in decisive Week 1 win, 28-20

The New York Giants kicked off their 2026 campaign in memorable fashion, taking down the division rival Dallas Cowboys 28-20 at MetLife Stadium during Sunday Night Football. The Week 1 victory marked a successful debut for new head coach John Harbaugh, who signed a $20 million per year contract to lead the franchise.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart powered the offense by connecting on 23 of his 29 attempts for 230 passing yards and three scores. New York also received a touchdown contribution from Cam Skattebo, allowing the squad to outplay and outcoach Dallas from start to finish.
