The difference was, the Giants completed their passes. So certainly a Week 2 visit from Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints will clarify just how stingy Steve Spagnuolo’s new unit will be this season. “You think about that moment, think about where you were that day, think about the emotions that went through your body on that day and you relive those moments”, said Cruz, then a high school sophomore in Patterson, N.J.

Odell Beckham Jr. blossomed into a star receiver while Cruz worked to get himself ready to play again.
I asked Prescott after the game if he felt like the sunlight impaired his receivers’ vision, but, he said, he hadn’t been able to ask them yet. I was glad for Brandon Carr to finally get an INT so the Cowboy haters in the media could stop reminding us of that fact every single time his face was shown on TV. “They were big on the inside”. “They had a lot of snaps”.
It’s an example of the formerly combustible Bryant’s growth and maturity over the years. Backup defensive end Kerry Wynn seemingly got too far upfield as Elliott broke loose. Then came a familiar sight: Manning to Eli for a touchdown.
“We look through the windshield; we’re not looking through the rear-view mirror”, said McAdoo, who replaced Tom Coughlin after 12 seasons and two Super Bowl titles. “He’s not the only one that was matching up against Dez”. One of the more bonehead moments since the Jackie Smith drop Williams will have a hard sell to get Jerry to bring him back. DRC made a couple of really nice plays there, too. “He competed his tail of and it was a big, huge effort”. The Cowboys dropped to 1-12 without Tony Romo since their star quarterback went out in Week 2 past year with the first of two broken left collarbones. Rodgers-Cromartie also coached him after seemingly losing his place in a zone.
McAdoo was the play-caller as offensive coordinator the past two seasons, including a year ago when Coughlin was taking the heat for all the late-game meltdowns. Plus, Apple is a rookie.
They believe things will be different with Prescott because he is better than the quarterbacks who replaced Romo past year, and he has a better supporting cast around him.
On the positive side, the linemen kept rookie quarterback Dak Prescott off the turf.
Strong safety Landon Collins (six tackles) and rotating strong safeties Nat Berhe (three tackles) and rookie Darian Thompson (two tackles) will be looked to for help on that front.
How sunlight streaming into AT&T Stadium may have caused the Cowboys to lose a game.. “We’ll start seeing him making guys miss, start moving around and being that agile guy we’re used to seeing”, Manning said. “But we’re in better shape to not play that way or have that happen to us because we’re better offensively”. “We were not giving him the chance”.
They’ll need a lot of yards to beat the Saints and their high-octane defense Sunday.

How Week 1 turned out for the Cowboys was a tough pill to swallow.
