The Cowboys defense doesn’t care about team’s history vs. recent opponents

The Cowboys beating the New York Giants and Jets to start off the season 2-0 isn’t at all surprising, but the combined score of 70-10 in two complete games in all three phases certainly jumps off the page. Last season, the Cowboys played two one-score games against the Giants, but their defense had other plans in week one of 2023 - they scored a touchdown of their own and never gave the Giants hope of a comeback. Last week’s win versus the Jets actually snapped a three-game losing streak to Gang Green, and relyied on the defense to bottle up the Jets ground game and force Zach Wilson to beat them, ultimately taking the ball away four times with three interceptions and a forced fumble.
