Von Miller grew up wanting to be a Dallas Cowboy. He got there at 38, a Super Bowl ring already in his pocket, memeing his way into a contract with the team that passed on him twice as a kid dreaming in front of the TV. Now the homecoming gets tested immediately, on the road against the Giants, in a building that does not care about anybody's origin story.
Cowboys fans have been asking for a pass rush answer for years. What they got is a name from their own backyard, a highlight reel from a different decade, and a jersey that finally makes sense. Whether that is the same thing as an answer is the whole question hanging over this opener.
The Giants do not owe Dallas a storybook ending, and nothing about a hometown reunion moves a football forty yards. Dallas or New York to open the season. Pick your side.
