The 2023 season is upon us and the Cowboys start the year facing off against the NFL East rival Giants on Sunday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Free agency and the draft appear to have improved both rosters, offering optimism for heading into the new season.
The Cowboys, coming off a 12-win season, and New York, coming off a nine-win season where both advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs, have their sights on playoff berths in 2023.
With Dak Prescott under center, Dallas has gone 10-0 against the Giants over the last six seasons. But over the last three seasons, the Cowboys are also 0-3 in Week 1 games. Mike McCarthy’s strategy of sidelining his starters in the preseason has led to some pretty clunky starts over the years. This offers a wide range of reasonable outcomes on Sunday. Matchups will make the difference so today we look at three key matchups between the Cowboys and New York.
