The Cowboys won the opening coin toss and chose to defer which put the Giants at work right away.
It was a strange possession to start a game. This was the case because the Giants had an extreme number of penalties going on. It was comical.
New York wound up in a 3rd and 25 situation from around midfield at one point because of them and actually pulled it off thanks to a 50-yard completion from Russell Wilson to Wandale Robinson.
They stalled a bit more though, partly thanks to more penalties, and settled for an opening field goal. All told the Giants gained 110 net yards thanks to 60 penalty yards. This was all on the first possession!
Once the Cowboys took over it felt like a ton of time had passed and the offense kind of looked that way. After three plays they were facing a fourth and short and decided to be aggressive.
Dak Prescott lined up under center and clearly was trying to provide a lot of smoke and mirrors in the name of drawing New York offsides. He hiked the ball at what he thought was the final second and successfully snuck it for a first down. Unfortunately Dak was a hair too late and the Cowboys were called for delay of game and had to punt it away.
New York made good on their second possession although they stalled out a bit. They were able to put another field goal on the board with a minute to go which made it 6-0 Giants.
