## Resource

The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys open the 2026 season under the Sunday night spotlight, with John Harbaugh’s new-look Giants aiming to end Dallas’ primetime dominance. Can Jaxson Dart’s under-center offense, Malik Nabers’ potential return, and a revamped ground game withstand the Cowboys’ talented roster? On this Crossover Thursday edition of Locked On Giants/Locked On Cowboys, the discussion examines Tyler Smith’s thumb injury and the impact of TJ Bass replacing him at left guard, plus key battles involving Brian Burns and Abdul Carter against Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens could test an unsettled Giants secondary, while Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark challenge John Michael Schmitz, Jon Runyan, Jr., and Francis Mauigoa inside. . Will the Giants capitalize on home-field energy and claim an early NFC East lead?
