^ Not really.

The odds were stacked against the Giants. Dallas was coming off a huge game last week with Romo setting personal records, they were playing in their home opener in a brand new stadium in front of the largest NFL crowd in history and they were playing an injured and new Giants team.

The Giants played that game to perfection, they went in with lots of second string defensive players and still came at Romo hard, forced him to complete less than 50% of his passes and to throw 3 INT with one of them leading to a TD. They kept Romo down to only 127 yards passing after he set his record the previous week. They also forced a fumble making the Cowboys turn the ball over 4 times.

The Giants offense played a smart offensive game using up more than half the game clock and by adjusting to what was and wasn't working. Jacobs, who is their main offensive weapon now that their top receivers are gone was being shutdown, I mean he still almost gained 100 yards, but it was obvious that Dallas spent their week preparing for the run game so Manning took it to the air and used his head with new receivers to make it work for them. His last drive down to make the field goal was executed flawlessly. Manning threw for 330 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs. They didn't turn the ball over once and only missed 1 out of 5 field goals.

I do give the Cowboys props on their red zone defense and their running game in this game though, but compared to last year when they got to Eli like 7 times for sacks, they didn't even touch him this game.

Dallas is highly overrated, Romo isn't that special, he'll have an average year.
