Cowboys Ride into MetLife Stadium for Showdown with New York Giants
As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face off against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, fans are eager to see if their team can continue the momentum from last season. The Cowboys showcased a strong performance in their previous campaign, with an impressive red zone efficiency of 71 percent and converting 45 percent of third downs. Their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was further highlighted by an 85 percent success rate in goal-to-go situations.
The rushing game was solid, averaging over four yards per carry, and they were equally effective through the air with an average of 11 yards per reception. The quarterback's completion percentage stood at a respectable 64 percent, contributing to a passing rating just shy of 88.
Special teams also played a pivotal role; punt returns averaged over ten yards while kick returns hovered around the 24-yard mark. Field goal accuracy was stellar at approximately 91 percent, which could be crucial in close encounters.
Defensively, Dallas proved formidable last season with a total of 54 sacks and secured possession via interceptions on sixteen occasions. However, ball security will be something to watch as they had fourteen fumbles last year.
