NFL News NFL News, Reports and UpdatesThe Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column, courtesy of the New York Giants.
In an ugly, injury-filled “Thursday Night Football” game, the Cowboys held on for a 20-15 win against their NFC East rivals. It is starting quarterback Dak Prescott’s 13th straight win over New York.
The Dallas defense was the difference-maker. After back-to-back rough outings against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the unit locked down the Giants run game, allowing 26 yards on the ground on 24 attempts, and forced quarterback Daniel Jones to air it out if he wanted to win.
Giants rookie Malik Nabers was up to the task, with 12 receptions for 115 yards, but few others were. Prescott, meanwhile, went 22-for-27 for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb had 98 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately, both teams were bit by the injury bug. Cowboys defensive standouts Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs and DeMarcus Lawrence all left the game at different points with injuries, while Nabers was ruled out in the fourth quarter with a concussion.

FINAL: Cowboys 20, Giants 15
It wasn’t pretty, but the Cowboys bounce back against a Giants team that could move the ball, but couldn’t break through when it mattered. Now, both teams take a deep breath and hope their stars are OK.

Brandon Aubrey misses a kick!
The Cowboys kicker is the best in the NFL and he just missed the first 50-plus yard field goal attempt of his career. The Giants will get the ball back on their own 41 with 28 seconds left.
