John Harbaugh ready to learn what Giants-Cowboys rivalry really means

Ahead of his debut regular-season contest leading the New York Giants, head coach John Harbaugh is preparing his squad for an emotional Week 1 showdown at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. In the lead-up to kickoff, Harbaugh has focused on keeping his roster composed while establishing a demanding standard throughout training camp where past accolades and contracts hold no weight.

His father, Jack Harbaugh, was present for the team's final Friday practice session before the opener, while the new coach notably pushed back on media queries regarding starter designations and strategic packages.
