New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys Kick Of 2012 NFL Schedule
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A good start is what is on the line this time when the New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL season opener.
The stakes were much greater the last time the NFC East foes faced off to close the last regular season. New York won to claim the division title en route to the Super Bowl title. Dallas was left out of the postseason.
On Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium, the winner will take the early upper hand in the divisional race.
For Eli Manning and the Super Bowl champion Giants, this will be a chance to silence the critics and detractors who have sounded off repeatedly after they beat the New England Patriots in February to claim their second title in five seasons.
The Giants heard it all. They were lucky to get into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They really didn't beat the Packers or 49ers, they were just handed the games. There is a lot more, but that is the gist.
That is now over.
