The two biggest reasons the New York Giants were blown out by the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys pummeled the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon 35-17. In a game that was expected to be more competitive, Big Blue failed to stop Dak Prescott and Dallas’ offense at any point during the contest. Jason Garrett beat Giants head coach Pat Shurmur at every turn, especially in regards to the secondary. However, that failure was more relevant to defensive coordinator James Bettcher who couldn’t put Prescott under pressure if his life depended on it.

Dialing up blitzes and unique packages didn’t work against a dominant Cowboys offensive line. The Giants needed to win in man coverage and stay consistent in zone coverage…needless to say, they didn’t.
