But things didn\u2019t go their way as the Giants fell 23-16 to their NFC East rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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<p>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<p>Graham Gano hit a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/sad-giants-fan-goes-viral-team-settles-field-goal-late-loss-cowboys\">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<p>Cowboys quarterback, Cooper Rush, looked solid in his second start filling in for <a href=\"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/13\/dak-prescotts-openness-about-mental-health-is-familiar-battle-for-those-living-the-same-truth\/\">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<p>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<p>The Cowboys will try to get another win when they return home against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York Giants will look to bounce back against the Chicago Bears at home as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Giants needed some magic to keep their win streak alive but things didn\u2019t go their way as they fell 23-16 to their NFC East rival, the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CowboysGiants2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2129"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2133,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129\/revisions\/2133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
