The Dallas Cowboys got the football first in Sunday’s showdown with the New York Giants, but the Giants surprisingly scored first. After forcing a punt following an underthrown and unsuccessful third-down conversion, the Giants went on a seven-play, 91-yard touchdown drive that was capped off by a 1-yard play-action touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Evan Engram. The highlight of the drive was a 59-yard scamper by running back Saquon Barkley who cut back through what was a massive hole opened up by the left side of the Giants’ offensive line — yeah, that Giants offensive line.

The Cowboys and Giants open the 2019 regular season in a Week 1 matchup we’ve seen before. After taking a break from Week 1 of the 2018 season, Giants-Cowboys is back for Week 1 of a new year — only this time the game is not on primetime.
There are some pre-game surprises you should know about. The Cowboys, for example, are not slated to start borderline All-Pro cornerback Byron Jones. He is expected to play.
Eli Manning is back as the starter with what should be an improved offensive line. The Giants traded for veteran Kevin Zeitler and signed Mike Remmers to remake the right side.
