The Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column, thanks to a gritty 20-15 victory over the New York Giants in a sloppy, injury-riddled "Thursday Night Football" matchup. The win marks quarterback Dak Prescott's 13th consecutive triumph over the Giants.
Dallas' defense was the key to the victory. After struggling in previous games against the Saints and Ravens, the unit stifled the Giants' run game, holding them to just 26 yards on 24 attempts. This forced quarterback Daniel Jones to rely heavily on the passing game.
Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was a bright spot for New York, recording 12 catches for 115 yards, but the rest of the Giants' offense failed to step up. Prescott delivered an efficient performance, completing 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb contributed 98 receiving yards and a score.
Both teams suffered significant injuries throughout the game. The Cowboys lost key defensive players Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, and DeMarcus Lawrence, while Nabers exited in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
Though the win was far from perfect, the Cowboys will take it as they aim to build momentum moving forward.
