What happened: Dallas is left parsing how much it misread New York after an early loss to the Giants. Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that the Giants were better than the Cowboys thought and that he wanted to see how New York keeps playing.

Why it matters: The comment adds weight to New York's encouraging early signs and puts Dallas' divisional scouting under a harsher light. It also suggests the Cowboys are reassessing an opponent they may have discounted too early.

What to watch: Dallas now has to show whether that read was a one-week miss or a broader problem against a division rival. New York's next result will test whether the early progress is holding.
