"Sure, they racked up 37 points and 506 yards and had three touchdown passes of 29 or more yards that should have been enough to get them a top grade, but starting out 0-for-4 in the red zone and not capitalizing on their one defensive takeaway with a fourth-down stall at the 10 early in the third quarter lingered over all the production that followed."
"The Giants took leads of 23-20 with 12:07 left in regulation, 30-27 with 2:44 left, 37-34 with 25 seconds left and the defense couldn't hold any of them. The Giants couldn't get a stop in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys scored points on their last five possessions of regulation. Paulson Adebo, their top cornerback, was beaten for a touchdown in the final minute of that fourth quarter and then for a 27-yard gain that set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. Abdul Carter had one tackle."
"The Giants committed 21 penalties, 14 of which were enforced, and lost 160 yards because of the ones that were, all of which lands on the desk of Brian Daboll with a thud. He has an acronym for the team identity that is D.A.W.G. and the very first letter in that stands for discipline. The Giants showed an embarrassing lack of that."
Giants offense produced 37 points and 506 yards with three touchdown passes of 29 or more yards, but began 0-for-4 in the red zone and failed to convert a defensive takeaway into points after a fourth-down stall at the 10 early in the third quarter. Russell Wilson threw an interception while misaligned with Malik Nabers. The defense could not stop Dallas in the fourth quarter, allowing scores on the Cowboys' last five possessions and giving up decisive plays to Paulson Adebo. Special teams had a 67-yard kickoff return wiped out by penalty, a 22-yard punt return, and Graham Gano went 3-for-3 on field goals. The team committed 21 penalties for 160 yards, reflecting a major discipline issue under coach Brian Daboll.
