Overview

• Bowen acknowledged he should have called a tighter coverage on the late 2nd-and-10 snap that allowed an 18-yard Dak Prescott pass to Jake Ferguson to reach the Giants’ 49.
• That completion set up Brandon Aubrey’s 64-yard game-tying field goal, and Dallas prevailed in overtime to drop New York to 0-2.
• Bowen said he feels pressure to do his job and is working with staff and players on adjustments, emphasizing accountability for the unit’s performance.
• Head coach Brian Daboll characterized the defeat as a shared failure rather than the result of one play or group.
• Despite offseason additions, the defense ranks near the bottom across several categories through two games, while left tackle Andrew Thomas was limited in practice but took a lot of reps ahead of Sunday night’s visit to the Chiefs.
