The second season of the Brian Daboll era is about to begin when the New York Giants open up the 2023 regular season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.Â
As first seasons go, Daboll’s was one for the record books. Big Blue won their first playoff game in over a decade and received career years from Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and other key players.
