The New York Giants’ undefeated streak ended with a loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Don ‘Wink’ Martindale’s defense scheme failed to lead the Giants to victory in Week 3 of the NFL season. At MetLife Stadium, Eli Manning, the Super Bowl MVP-winning quarterback, saw his team crumble like cards in front of the Cowboys.

The New York Giants have won their last two games by scoring in the second half. However, the Giants’ tried-and-tested strategy for scoring enough offensive plays in the second half did not work this time. Whereas the Giants’ defense could only muster one sack, the Cowboys’ defense sacked QB Daniel Jones six times on Monday.

Cowboys’ Cooper Rush played a significant role in Giants’ defeat

Monday was not the Giants’ day. Cooper Rush, the injured quarterback Dak Prescott‘s substitute, dominated the field in the second half.

Rush became the Cowboys’ third starting quarterback to win his first three games.

Cooper Rush led the Cowboys to a 23-16 victory, going 21-of-31 for 215 yards and one touchdown. His amazing back-to-back touchdown drives in the second half will undoubtedly make the Cowboys skeptical of the 28-year-old quarterback’s future whenever Dak Prescott returns from injured reserve.

Eli Manning must have missed Chad Powers from Eli’s Places as he watched the Giants collapse against the Cowboys

After his team’s first loss of the season, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning appeared depressed. Manning spent 16 seasons as a quarterback for the New York Giants. He led the Giants to two Super Bowl victories and is the holder of the franchise’s all-time many noteworthy records.

Eli Manning is one of those Giants who has done nothing out of the ordinary to draw attention to other than his on-field performance. Manning, who has been described as ‘underrated’ yet ‘champion,’ couldn’t believe the Giants lost the match with QB Daniel Jones’ single fate-deciding interception.

Even after retirement, fans believe Manning remains a Giant at heart

Manning’s somber reaction to the Giants’ loss moved NFL fans. “Poor Eli. Nobody can say this man still doesn’t love his team”– one fan commented on YouTube. Following his retirement in 2020, the former Giants quarterback currently hosts ESPN’s hit comedy show ‘Eli’s Places’. In his show, Manning experiences college football uniquely (Go Chad Powers!) in order to grasp the genuine substance of such a thrill associated with it.

Despite quitting the field, his emotions show that he still has a special fondness for the game and his former team. “Love you Eli, you deserve better than this loss”– clearly, his sadness has visibly touched the NFL fans.

Following the game, the Cowboys took the lead in the NFL’s sacks this season. Now that the Cowboys have found a great replacement for the injured Dak Prescott, the ‘search’ for a decent quarterback should be over. As a result, the Cowboys are unlikely to need Colin Kaepernick anytime soon this NFL season. Regardless, they will host the Commanders in GW4.
