The New York Giants (2-1) needed some fourth-quarter magic to keep their winning streak alive against the Dallas Cowboys (2-1) during Monday Night Football. But things didn\u2019t go their way as the Giants fell 23-16 to their NFC East rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Giants dominated the game, thanks to Saquan Barkley, who scored on a 36-yard run to give the Giants a brief 13-6 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Cowboys started their comeback in the third quarter when running back Ezekiel Elliot scored a touchdown. Cee Dee Lamb also came up big for the Cowboys, finishing the game with 87 receiving yards and one touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Gano hit a field goal<\/a> to keep the Giants in the game with three minutes left, but the Cowboys took complete control and put the Giants away for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowboys quarterback, Cooper Rush, looked solid in his second start filling in for Dak Prescott<\/a> and threw for 215 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions. Tony Pollard also had a strong performance rushing for 105 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had an up and down game; though Jones threw 20\/37 for 196 yards, he also threw one interception to Trevon Diggs. Furthermore, Dallas\u2019 defense pestered Jones, sacking him five times throughout the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cowboys will try to get another win when they return home against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Giants will look to bounce back against the Chicago Bears at home as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
