more likely a ratings related move.

Giants-Cowboys is always a ratings winner for NBC.

also confirmed per my source
no shock  
Matt in SGS : 4/21/2015 4:01 pm : link
the Giants and Cowboys are two huge ratings grabbers and they happen to play some very exciting football against each other that plays well for the audience who NBC is trying to reach. Add in Cruz returning and that we will see Beckham's one handed catch a zillion times in replays, it's not a big surprise.
heart attack right off the bat

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/21/2015 4:11 pm : link
Eli has done very well in Dallas. Sucks that Victor probably won't be ready yet for that game.
Sucks it's a tough game..  
Sean : 4/21/2015 4:14 pm : link
could very well be staring at 0-1 for the fifth straight year.

Exactly!!! I hate Sunday night games as it is, and as the opening game makes it worse!
Odell is going to go OFF  
Big Rick in FL : 4/21/2015 4:17 pm : link
On Dallas Week 1 in front of a national audience. 200 yards & 2 TDs.
I am all for night games  
lawguy9801 : 4/21/2015 4:17 pm : link
as my kids get older I increasingly find myself on one sports field or another on weekend afternoons.
I will be going to Tampa game so looking forward  
jvm52106 : 4/21/2015 4:19 pm : link
to hearing when that one will be. It is a 7 hour drive from my home in SC.
Sure Vin R  
BIG FRED 1973 : 4/21/2015 4:20 pm : link
If one of those games is in late November or December iam going down to Florida for the game
first night of Rosh Hashanah

fire up the DVR!!
Despite their respective 6-10 and 12-4 records  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2015 4:22 pm : link
the Giants played the Cowboys very competitively last season. I don't think the gap between the teams is all that big, but you can say that about most teams nowadays. I'm sure the Cowboys will be thinking Super Bowl - hopefully we throw a little cold water on that in Week 1.

That sucks. I was hoping the Jets game would be Sept or Oct when the weather is warm and both teams are still in it. You know one team will be done by Dec 6th.

Wow, those NFL schedule makers are so creative.

And it sucks opening up in Dallas. They own us recently.

Two Sunday night games in 3 weeks?
Week 3, RG3 panic should be at critical mass  
Ben in Tampa : 4/21/2015 4:47 pm : link
Against division opponent. Drama = ratings
Week 3 is Thursday night  
jeff57 : 4/21/2015 4:49 pm : link
Even worse.
That has to be thursday night game

Yeah, that really sucks having 2 division night games in the first 3 weeks, but at least the Thursday night bullshit is out of the way early.

We sure do get a lot of national exposure.

better to have the TNF early when the players are a bit fresher rather than later

Not to mention how close we played the boys in 2013 in both games. We are due for a win.

Again?

I like SNF but it seems like we open with an NBC night game against Dallas every freaking year.

This is going to be 3 times in the last 4 seasons doing that and last year was a MNF opener against DET. 2011 was the last time we had a regular 1pm opener.
