So maybe hiring John Harbaugh was a pretty good idea.
Offensively Sunday night, New York was ruthlessly efficient. Jaxson Dart was poised and accurate. Cam Skattebo didn’t have huge numbers, but he got the tough yards when he needed to. Tight end Isaiah Likely was a revelation in his first game with the team.
New York was 9-of-11 on third down. That’s nuts.
The defense remains a work in progress, but it made just enough plays against one of the NFL’s best offenses a year ago to win the day—and a second straight contest with the Cowboys at Met Life Stadium.
It’s still too early to say the Giants are good—the Dallas defense has been awful dating back to 2025. But they were in Week 1, and we’ll find out soon enough how sustainable the improvement is.
