The Dallas Cowboys took down the New York Giants, 27-20, on Thanksgiving Day.
Dallas was in control for much of Thursday’s game. It took a 13-7 lead in the second quarter when it got a pick-six off a screen pass by New York and never looked back.
On offense, the Cowboys controlled the game on the ground and got 112 yards and a touchdown from Rico Dowdle. Cooper Rush completed 21 of 36 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers.
The Cowboys sacked Drew Lock six times. They forced one interception and a forced fumble. Lock finished the day completing 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no passing touchdowns and the pick-6.
The Giants showed some signs of life late in the fourth quarter. After forcing the Cowboys to punt, Drew Lock led them on an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended with him rushing for an 8-yard score to make it a 27-20 game with 2:18 remaining.
With the win, the Cowboys improved to 5-7 as they’ve won their last two games to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. The Giants, meanwhile, moved to 2-10 as they start to move their focus toward the 2025 season.
