Cowboys' defense comes through in festive win over stagnant Giants
Briefly

The Cowboys avoided their third 0-6 start to a home season, which would have matched the two worst teams in franchise history, 1960 and 1989.
In the third quarter, the Cowboys had their first double-digit home lead at any point since Week 14 last season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
At 5-7, the Cowboys can't be considered playoff contenders just yet, but their next two games are against the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers.
Pivotal play: DeMarvion Overshown changed the tenor of the game in the second quarter, returning an interception for the Cowboys' first defensive touchdown.
