Sam Darnold’s MVP run continues, Ravens save season with win in Dallas
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon ‘overreacts’ to the biggest news from Sunday’s slate of games.
Sports Seriously
A classic NFC East battle will be featured on “Thursday Night Football” with the New York Giants (1-2) hosting the Dallas Cowboys (1-2).
The first two home games for Dallas were ones to forget with back-to-back losses, the most recent coming from a defeat from the Baltimore Ravens. The high-powered Cowboys offense has looked anything but and the pressure is already on to get back on the winning track.
New York is finally in the win column and it has found its next star in the process. Malik Nabers caught two touchdown passes and has given his desperate offense a spark. Could the Giants have unlocked something and be gaining momentum toward a big clash with their rival?

Lorenzo Reyes: Cowboys 21, Giants 20
Dallas has a serious issue along both its offensive and defensive lines. The Cowboys cannot rush the ball and Ezekiel Elliott is too slow, and they’re even worse at stopping the run. Still, Dallas has the better roster, so it should win. But the Giants are formidable on the defensive line, so I think this stays closer than expected.
Tyler Dragon: Cowboys 26, Giants 17
The Cowboys have lost two in a row and now have two straight games on the road. Can Dallas come off the slide? The lowly Giants are the perfect remedy. Giants WR Malik Nabers leads all rookies in catches and receiving yards, but the Cowboys’ big problem is they can’t stop the run.
Richard Morin: Cowboys 35, Giants 12
I would feel pretty comfortable taking the points here. Dallas needs a get-right game on the road.
Jordan Mendoza: Cowboys 20, Giants 16
The slow starts have really been hurting Dallas so there will be an effort to get on the scoreboard early. The Giants have an offense that looks like it’s on the right path, but the Cowboys defense tightens up and holds off a pesky New York team.
