Heroes, zeros from Giants’ win over the Cowboys: Jevon Holland’s interception changed everthing

The New York Giants kicked off their 2026 campaign with a 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, September 13. The triumph marked a successful start for new head coach John Harbaugh in his team debut, while quarterback Jaxson Dart guided the offense by converting 23 of his 29 attempts for 230 yards and three touchdowns without turning the ball over.

A crucial turning point came during the second quarter when Giants safety Jevon Holland picked off an errant throw and dashed past the opposing quarterback.

Dallas trailed throughout most of the Week 1 clash after entering the contest with pregame defensive concerns voiced by owner Jerry Jones. Quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to find consistent rhythm, ending his night with 22 completions on 34 attempts for two passing scores alongside the costly interception.

The setback left offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys searching for answers following an opening-week divisional defeat.
