Cowboys' defense tells the story in opening-night win

ARLINGTON, Texas – The story of the Dallas Cowboys is often their offense, with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and the offensive line.

All of them had moments in the Cowboys’ 19-3 season opening win against the New York Giants.

Elliott, who learned last Friday he will likely be eligible to play all season thanks to the courts, finished with 104 yards on 24 tough carries.

Two of Prescott’s three losses a year ago came against the Giants last year, but he managed to beat the NFC East rivals without his best performance, completing 24 of 39 passes for 268 yards.
