Cruz missed most of last season with an injury and the Giants struggled without one of their main weapons through the air. I look forward to seeing what Prescott does next week in the game for the Cowboys.

The teams have split their season series each of the last two seasons, as the Redskins lost an early December matchup to the Cowboys a year ago – Washington’s last regular season loss during the season – before defeating Dallas 34-23 on January 3. with the division already secured.
The Cowboys played a divisional game in Week 1 as well, taking on the Giants in Arlington. The important aspect is that after a preseason of cloak-and-dagger play-calling and personnel groupings, every team’s identity is not imprinted on the video that the other 31 coaching staffs will be scouring. So when it was over, and his Giants had escaped with a 20-19 win, forgive McAdoo if he wasn’t quite ready to exhale. We’ve got a lot of work to get done, got a lot to work on. I’m just so excited for him from the standpoint that it’s been a long time for him. “We’ll learn from it. Start our preparation and get our eyes on the Redskins”.
The running game was having problems against the Giants defense. The Giants scored 20 points in the red zone and were a ideal three-for-three on their attempts.
Jennings said playing for keeps was one of the biggest differences in getting the running game going.
“We’ll get him the ball as it comes up in our offense”, Prescott said, via the Dallas Morning News. We’re going to find a way to get better and continue to get better.
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the New York Giants. Roethlisberger recovered quickly, however, and threw three touchdowns and 300 yards on 27-of-37 passing, dicing up the Washington defense. They won the takeaway battle.
Fourth-round rookie Quarterback Dak Prescott had a pretty decent game yesterday as he went 25/45 for 227 yards with no picks. However, assessments must be made and make them we did. Bailey hit a 56 yard field goal earlier in the game with plenty of room to spare. Here are some things that hurt the Cowboys in that loss that should have not happened. Both wide receivers Sterling Shepard (a rookie) and Victor Cruz (who was injured all last year) had key touchdown catches from Eli Manning. In total, he got 20 carries but managed just 51 yards. Our minds are right. After what he’s gone through to get back on the field, why would it? “No need for it”. “It’s a well-practiced situation”, Jason Garrett deadpanned.
It cost over $1 billion for the Dallas Cowboys to be able to call AT&T Stadium their home, but over the past year, “Jerry World” has felt like more of a home to a collegiate program than it has to America’s team.

The Cowboys were down one point at their own 41-yard line with no timeouts and 12 seconds remaining on the clock.
