9/11 COIN FLIP: Former President George W. Bush, who was in office on 9/11, did the coin toss before the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game near his Dallas home. What if the Cowboys took more chances in the red zone?

Prescott was solid in his first start as an National Football League quarterback-preseason games don’t technically count for starting-but he wasn’t as spectacular as he was in the preseason.
With ten seconds left in the game, Williams has the ball just past midfield, with the closet blue jersey more than ten yards away, in no position to keep him from going out of bounds.
Victor Cruz caught the go-ahead scoring pass from Manning in the fourth quarter of the Giants’ 20-19 victory Sunday, and NY held on in the opener after questionable play-calling contributed to six losses either late in regulation or overtime during a 6-10 season in 2015.
“It just wasn’t a good showing”.
Alabama opened last season and this season with wins in Cowboys Stadium – something Dallas failed to do last night.
Giants wideout Victor Cruz made his first in-season appearance since tearing his patella tendon in 2014. Perhaps the most important player the team needs to step up is wide receiver Dez Bryant. “A lot of people go through it and don’t get through it, don’t get this opportunity to claim what they once were or they once had”.
The Saints will go against Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard and Cruz without their best cornerback, Delvin Breaux, who underwent surgery Monday to fix a broken fibula and will be out at least six weeks. Fox’s coverage of the Giants-Cowboys nail-biter delivered 27.5 million viewers and a 15.5 HH rating, which was up 15% compared with CBS’s year-ago late-national game (Ravens-Broncos, 13.5 HH rating) and flat versus Fox’s first 4:20 game on September 20, 2015 (Cowboys-Eagles, 15.5 HH rating).
Fantasy Impact Morris appeared to have the momentum against the Giants on Sunday averaging five YPC in the contest.
Another issue over the last few seasons is how undisciplined players seem to be at times. And now he’s finally back out here.
“I thought it was great”. Well I’m glad you did, and if you didn’t then feel free to skip ahead (but only one paragraph, now). But the arrow is pointing up for the new-look Giants.
“He has so much experience finding windows, finding lanes”, Manning said. “We’ll start seeing him making guys miss, start moving around and being that agile guy we’re used to seeing”, Manning said. I’m just so excited for him from the standpoint that it’s been a long time for him.
But it was a mixed overall day from the Giants secondary. Roethlisberger recovered quickly, however, and threw three touchdowns and 300 yards on 27-of-37 passing, dicing up the Washington defense.
To start the fourth quarter, Dak let loose a bomb to Bryant on a fly route, but the pass went out of bounds over Bryan’t head, and there was good coverage by Jenkins.
And it’s a lot more than that.
The result, and Cruz’s overarching role in it, even imbued the game with some sense of tribute on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. His dad died in 2007.
