Prescott's Mistake Costs Cowboys Early | Dallas Cowboys News

Cowboys’ season opener ended in heartbreak as Dak Prescott’s costly interception handed the Giants a 28-20 win — and a brutal start to 2026. With the score tied at 7, Prescott scrambled backward under pressure and threw deep, only for Jevon Holland to snag it. Prescott admitted he meant to throw it away to avoid a sack — but didn’t execute it well enough. The turnover led to a 14-7 halftime lead for New York, who capitalized again in the second half. Prescott did rally with a late TD, but Dallas couldn’t overcome the early deficit or the momentum swing. A tough loss to kick off the campaign.
