Cowboys on song first-up

JASON Witten scored the only touchdown while breaking the franchise record for yards receiving as the Dallas defence shackled a New York offence missing Odell Beckham in the Cowboys’ 19-3 season-opening victory over the Giants yesterday.

Ezekiel Elliott had a rugged 104 yards rushing and another 36 receiving two days after a judge halted his six-game suspension over a domestic violence case, although last year’s NFL rushing leader had already been cleared to play the opener.
