Cowboys tare apart desparate Giants 40-0

Dallas Cowboys embarrassed the New York Giants again, posting a season-opening 40-0 victory Sunday night. Noah Igbinoghene returning a blocked field goal 58 yards for a touchdown and DaRon Bland scoring on a pick-6 later in the first quarter were one of the many situations on the night, proving that Cowboys are flying high and Giants have some serious problems.

The shutout loss was the largest between the teams, topping the Cowboys’ 35-0 win over the Giants 28 years ago in 1995, which was also at a season-opener in Meadowlands. It was also the Cowboys’ biggest season-opening shutout, topping their 38-0 win over the Baltimore Colts in 1978.

This was supposed to be the game that showed whether the Giants had closed the gap on Dallas and defending NFC champion Philadelphia in the NFC East, but it showed that not only is it not closed up, but it might even be bigger than before.
