## Resource

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense imploded in a shocking 28-20 loss to the Giants, shattering offseason optimism despite new coordinator Christian Parker, six fresh starters, and two first-round picks. Critics slammed Parker—franchise’s youngest DC at 34—for lackluster preparation and predictable schemes, as the Giants exploited a repeat play with alarming ease. The Cowboys’ defensive woes date back to 2024, averaging 28.8 points allowed per game—even worse than their Week 1 collapse, now the NFL’s worst defensive performance by EPA per drive. This devastating debut raises serious questions about the front office’s strategy to rebuild a unit that’s been hemorrhaging points for years.
