Summary
28-20 on Sunday Night Football, the Giants beat Dallas and then posted a SpongeBob clip of Texas-born Sandy Cheeks singing "I want to go home" — a jab aimed at the Cowboys.
Jaxson Dart drove the wire-to-wire win with 230 passing yards, three touchdown passes and 54 rushing yards, becoming the third Giants quarterback to post three passing TDs and 50 rushing yards in a game.
New York also got an immediate boost from debuting tight end Isaiah Likely, who caught eight passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
244 total yards by Dallas marked the fewest offense the Giants have allowed the Cowboys since 2008, underscoring how thoroughly New York controlled the opener.
The post fit a broader Week 1 NFL pattern of teams celebrating wins with social-media taunts, including the Bills, Steelers and 49ers.
