NFL Week 1 Sunday Night Football live tracker: Cowboys jump up early vs. Giants with massive defensive surge

The Dallas Cowboys wasted no time on “Sunday Night Football.”

The Cowboys jumped out to a huge 16-0 lead almost instantly in their NFC East matchup with the New York Giants on Sunday night, the final game on the first Sunday of the 2023 season. But it wasn’t Dak Prescott and the offense that showed out. It was Dallas’ defense and special teams.

The Cowboys blocked a field goal to spoil what was otherwise a very impressive opening drive from the Giants at Metlife Stadium, and Noah Igbinghene ran it back 58-yards for a touchdown.
