Giants-Cowboys Week 2 featured a 16-play, 110-yard opening drive that produced just three points due to six penalties, four by James Hudson. Coach Brian Daboll benched Hudson for Marcus Mbow, a Purdue fifth‑round pick, after the drive. Hudson, 26, spent four years with Cleveland before joining New York in 2021 and has 19 starts in 51 games. The sequence highlights Giants’ left‑tackle stability questions with Andrew Thomas sidelined.
