The Dallas Cowboys Week 3 matchup is against division rival; the New York Giants. Last year, the Cowboys swept their division rival in both matchups of the 2021 season. Let’s take a look into the Cowboys upcoming matchup!
Who are the Giants?
The Giants are, currently, undefeated, but their performances weren’t impressive. Daniel Jones’ poor performance over the two games has gone unnoticed. This is due to his superstar RB, Saquon Barkley, performing better than expected. Jones’ hasn’t thrown for over 200 yards in either contest and got sacked eight times across both games. Kenny Golladay has made recent headlines as well, noting his frustrations with the lack of targets.
The Giants two wins were against winless teams: Panthers and Titans. They won both contests by 3 points or less. The Giants can’t rely on big plays and a bit of luck to win all their contests.
How do the Cowboys matchup?
The Cowboys offense vs the Giants defense will be the matchup to watch. The Cowboys defense, led-by Micah Parsons, will disrupt the Giants offense as we’ve seen them struggle with less talented defenses. Parsons, along with Dorace, will harass OTs: Evan Neal and Andrew Thomas breaking down the protection and stalling this porous Giants offense.

With the Cowboys defense continuing to roll it’ll be up to Cooper Rush and company to generate production. The Cowboys must score on their drives whether it’s a field goal or touchdown. With an inferior Giants team, the Cowboys must apply pressure Jones into making bad decisions or waiting too long for a big play.
Ideally, the Cowboys will win this game by 14 points, but this offense will need to generate points quickly to avoid a close game.
Final Score Projection
Dallas Cowboys: 27, New York Giants 13
