And Jalen Hurts' late fumble could have cost them the game. They had only one game with four three-and-outs last season: their Week 17 loss to the Saints with Gardner Minshew under center. The Eagles went three-and-out on four straight possessions in the first half. What's up with the Eagles' offense? The normally dynamic offense sputtered for much of the game and had to settle for four Jake Elliott field goals. Next game: at Cardinals (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. Dallas had 12 pressures in the first half alone, with most of them coming against that right side. They also allowed constant pressure throughout the contest. Right tackle Evan Neal and right guard Mark Glowinski were at fault for five sacks. Stock down after the loss: More than anything, the right side of the offensive line was especially concerning. Even the always reliable Graham Gano missed a chip-shot field goal. Jones had two interceptions, including a pick-six. The Giants opened with a field goal attempt returned for a touchdown. It's hard to pick positives from that kind of takedown. They lost 40-0 after giving up 26 first-half points. Stock up after the loss: Sorry, can't think of anything. Fluker) might be an option the Giants need to explore. Looking outside the organization for a veteran ( Justin Pugh, Dalton Risner or D.J. Second-year guard Joshua Ezeudu is an option, but he couldn't win a starting job this summer despite every opportunity. The Giants need to figure a way to get this right quickly, otherwise they'll be embarrassed again by the 49ers in prime time in Week 3. It made it impossible for the team to run any offense and quarterback Daniel Jones was flustered and regressed to his early form. Would the Giants' line hold up against a dominant Cowboys pass rush? The answer was clearly "No" after New York allowed seven sacks. Is the Giants' offensive line going to be their Achilles' heel all season long? This was perhaps the team's biggest concern entering the opener. But he made his next four point after tries and both field goal attempts, so there's no need to be too worried. Stock down after the win: Since we have to pick somebody, Brandon Aubrey didn't help turn many into true believers by missing his first extra point of the season, bringing up some Brett Maher memories. They also have had 22 games - out of 35 total - with multiple takeaways, three more than any other NFL team. Since 2021 when Quinn took over, the Cowboys have 10 defensive touchdowns, including DaRon Bland's pick-six Sunday, tied with the New England Patriotsfor the most in that time. The coordinator had his defense ready, which wasn't unexpected, but the unit was completely dominant (six sacks in less than three quarters of action). Tony Pollard contributed two goal-line touchdown runs, answering any questions as to how the Cowboys would handle the loss of Ezekiel Elliott. The special teams contributed a touchdown. The defense shut down the Giants and contributed a touchdown. But this was as dominant of a performance the Cowboys have had in Mike McCarthy's tenure. The road ahead will be much more difficult - maybe as soon as next week against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets at AT&T Stadium - so don't book flights to Las Vegas yet. The Cowboys have been searching for another Super Bowl ever since. Alaina GetzenbergĪre the Cowboys really this good? The last time the Cowboys opened the year with a dismantling of the Giants was in 1995 (35-0). Coach Sean McDermott has prioritized stronger special teams, but the Jets' game-winning punt return touchdown proved problems persist and now get added to a long list of things to fix from Week 1. Stock down after the loss: Special teams consistency. Leonard Floyd and Greg Rousseau put together solid performances, combining for nine quarterback pressures and Floyd recording 1.5 sacks. Stock up after the loss: Bills' pass rush. In addition, the Bills' playcalling issues remain with time wasted on the final field goal drive of the fourth quarter that tied the game, as well as questionable plays in overtime. No receiver outside of wide receiver Stefon Diggs had more than 32 yards. Running back James Cook had 12 carries for just 46 yards. But the Bills also placed a priority this offseason on adding a better supporting cast around Allen, and those players didn't make the needed impact Monday night. What can the offense do in Year 2 under coordinator Ken Dorsey to better support Josh Allen? Coming out of the overtime loss to the Jets, Allen's four turnovers are the focus - for good reason.
