"After Sunday's 34-17 loss for the Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants, the team finished at 7-9-1, their second in a row with a losing record. Also gone is their previous nine-game win streak against the Giants. The Giants pushed this streak to the limit in Week 2 when Russell Wilson nearly beat the Cowboys in Arlington, before Dallas won on a Brandon Aubrey field goal in overtime."
"For the Cowboys under Brian Schottenheimer and the Giants being led by interim head coach Mike Kafka, they came up with similar reasons about wanting to still compete hard and build whatever momentum is possible to carry into next season. By winning consecutive games for the first time in multiple seasons and having a 100+ yard rusher for the first time in 23 games, the Giants outdid the Cowboys in this area, but also cost themselves the number one overall pick in the process."
Dallas lost 34-17 to the New York Giants and ended the season 7-9-1, marking a second straight losing year. The Giants snapped Dallas' nine-game winning streak and recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since late 2023. New York started rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, produced a 100-plus-yard rusher for the first time in 23 games, and sacrificed the top overall draft pick. Dallas changed quarterbacks late in the season, struggled offensively in the second half, repeatedly lost the field-position battle, and declined to chase individual streaks versus the NFC East.
