Dak Prescott tosses two TDs in losing effort

Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns, but the Dallas Cowboys fell short against the New York Giants in their Week 1 Sunday night divisional clash to kick off the 2026 season. Prior to the road opener, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones voiced unease about Dallas's defensive stability, concerns that proved justified as New York controlled the matchup against a defense overseen on the opposing sideline by coordinator Dennard Wilson.

Dallas entered the primetime rematch carrying significant postseason expectations, following a wild overtime encounter between the rivals during Week 2 of the previous campaign that featured 24 points scored across the final three minutes. Despite Prescott's pair of scoring passes alongside teammates George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, New York reversed past trends to secure the home victory.
