Giants aren’t the pushovers they were expected to be

New York kicked off its 2026 campaign in memorable fashion, earning a 28-20 victory against the Dallas Cowboys during a Sunday night showcase at MetLife Stadium. The result marked the franchise's first Week 1 triumph since 2022 and its earliest home-opening success since 2010.

Signal-caller Jaxson Dart paced the offense with high efficiency, finding his targets on 23 of his 29 attempts to rack up 230 passing yards alongside three scores through the air, rewarding head coach John Harbaugh with a win in his first game at the helm.

The franchise now turns its attention to an upcoming Week 2 showdown with the Los Angeles Rams. Ahead of that contest, New York received a major break defensively, as Los Angeles defensive end Myles Garrett is slated for surgery and heading to injured reserve, keeping him off the field.
