"This could have been a statement win for the Giants. Russell Wilson should have had his moment in the sun after enduring a week of deafening pleas for his job. Even Brian Daboll should have felt the temperature of the hot seat beneath him cool down just a little. Big Blue was on the cusp of their first win of the 2025 season, on the cusp of breaking an eight-game losing streak against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, and were doing so in spectacular fashion."
"With 25 seconds left, Wilson uncorked one of his signature moon balls to Malik Nabers for a 42-yard touchdown to put the Giants up 40-37 what should have been the final act of a remarkable 450-yard, three-touchdown day for the veteran passer. One of the most memorable games in Giants/Cowboys history was going to go New York's way. But there was enough time for defensive coordinator Shane Bowen to dirty things up with his fingerprints, and he managed to derail the Giants in spectacular fashion."
"Following a Dallas kick return that started the final possession of regulation on its own 33-yard line with 19 seconds to go, tight defense from the Giants (0-2) was a must. Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is the best deep kicker in the game, and he has the leg to hit from 70 yards if needed. The Giants' defense got the first play right."
The Giants nearly secured their first win of 2025 and a break in an eight-game losing streak against the Cowboys, led by Russell Wilson's prolific performance. Wilson threw for roughly 450 yards and three touchdowns, including a 42-yard touchdown to Malik Nabers with 25 seconds remaining that put New York up 40-37. Dallas began the final possession at its own 33 after a kick return with 19 seconds left, with Brandon Aubrey capable of booming long kicks. New York pressured Dak Prescott—sacking him three times and registering multiple hits—yet was flagged heavily, collecting 14 penalties for 160 yards. With fourteen seconds to go, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen shifted to a softer alignment.
