The Dallas Cowboys will kick off their season opener with an NFC East rivalry, the New York Giants, on Sunday night football in MetLife Stadium. Kick off is at 7:20 PM. 

America’s team finished out last season with a 12-5 record after losing to the San Francisco 49’ers in the divisional round after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wildcard game. Even with a bad ending to last season, the Cowboys are still in the running to be a favorite to win the Super Bowl. If Dallas can make it to the Super Bowl it will be the first time in 27 years the Cowboys see a title game and the long drought will end. 

The Cowboys are bringing a lockdown defense to MetLife on Sunday led by First-Team All-Pro Micah Parsons. Parsons all off season has expressed how badly he wants to win a Super Bowl this upcoming year and this Sunday he views the Giants as just another team in the way of that goal.
