New York Giants to Open Season Against Dallas Cowboys: The NFL announced yesterday that the New York Giants will host the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener on Wednesday, September 5 at 8:30PM on NBC.
“We had two great games with them last year, and I’m sure our fans will be jacked up for it,’’ said Giants’ President/CEO John Mara. “I’m sure they’ll be ready to play, too. I think it was a good choice on the part of the league. If you look at the last 10-12 games we’ve had with them, we’ve had great games that went down to the wire. I’m sure this one will be no different.”
Aside from the usual home-and away contests against division opponents, the Giants will also face:
- Home: Packers, Saints, Buccaneers, Browns, Steelers
- Away: 49ers, Falcons, Panthers, Ravens, Bengals
New Contract for Coughlin Coming Soon: The New York Post is reporting that Giants’ President/CEO John Mara said that a new contract for Head Coach Tom Coughlin should be finalized in the next 4-6 weeks.
“We’ve had a lot of good discussions since the Super Bowl, and I have no doubt it’s going to get done very soon,’’ said Mara. “As I’ve said, Tom is our guy, and we think we have the best coach in the league.”
Tollefson to Meet with Packers: Unrestricted free agent DE Dave Tollefson will meet with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday and Friday. Tollefson met with the Seattle Seahawks last week.
