After suffering back-to-back losses at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys were under a lot of pressure to perform in Week 4, and they did just that, defeating the New York Giants 20–15 at MetLife Stadium. If the Cowboys failed to defeat the humble Giants in what seemed like a “gotta have it” game this early in the season, many stories would have been spun around them. Naturally, Dallas is now 2-2 for the season after the victory, which brightens the mood. But did anyone in the Cowboys’ locker room ever consider what would happen if they failed to destroy their division rivals? “That is not how we think,” Zack Martin, a right guard, stated. “Clearly, there is still a long way to go. Though we have not quite arrived, this is a promising start.”That is not how we think,” Zack Martin, a right guard, stated. “Clearly, there is still a long way to go. While we are certainly not there yet, this is a solid one to attain with a few days off here, and division wins.” Dallas did what it needed to do at MetLife, which was to win, even though its victory does not make a big difference. How the Cowboys win did not matter as long as they did. However, we can not help but wonder what Mike McCarthy’s team’s chances would have been if they had lost to Brian Daboll’s group. We witnessed indications of the lame-duck mentality on the sidelines of the 28-25 setback, which is already threatening to break the team apart.
