“We’ve got a scrappy bunch that doesn’t waver, and that’s what you appreciate,” Daboll said Sunday. “We don’t waver. This is going to be a long, hard journey, it is, for all of us, OK? And the result is great. I love it. But remember, if we lost this game, it’s all about our preparation and our process, OK?”
The Giants will host a Dak Prescott-less Cowboys team next week on “Monday Night Football.” Much like New York, Dallas is also coming off a win following Sunday’s 20-17 finish over the Cincinnati Bengals.
