It’s the second consecutive week of Thursday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, and tonight, the stakes are sky-high as the New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams, sitting at 1-2, are eager to right the ship in this pivotal NFC East clash. The Cowboys, off to their worst start since Mike McCarthy’s debut season as head coach in 2020, are looking for redemption after a nail-biting 28-25 loss to the Ravens in Week 3. On the flip side, the Giants are riding high after picking up their first win of the season, having defeated the Browns 21-15. The spotlight’s firmly on rookie WR Malik Nabers, who’s made an explosive entrance into the league with an unprecedented 20+ receptions, 250+ receiving yards, and 3+ receiving TDs in just his first three career games. His Week 3 performance, featuring 8 catches for 78 yards and 2 TDs, has Giants fans buzzing.

Recent History and Rivalry
The recent history between these two teams favors Dallas, with the Cowboys winning 13 of the last 14 matchups and the last six consecutively. The Giants haven’t tasted victory against the Cowboys since the tumultuous 2020 season, when they edged out a 23-19 win in Week 17 against a Dak Prescott-less Cowboys, with Andy Dalton under center.
A Season of Early Frustration
Despite high expectations, early season frustration hangs over the Cowboys like a storm cloud. Sitting at 1-2, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn’t mince words after Week 3: “It just seemed like we couldn’t get out of our own way… I’m very disappointed that we got beat today. Very disappointed.” His candid words reflect the urgency in Dallas as they prepare for tonight’s short-week showdown. “You can’t in any way sugarcoat the fact that we got beat, and there were parts of the way we got beat that were really areas we’ve got to get a lot better in… We’ve got a lot of work to do, but we’ve got time to do that kind of work and we’ve got a short week this week, but we’ve got to start.”
