Six winners and losers from Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win over Giants
The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants renewed their historic NFC East rivalry on Thanksgiving. And after 60 minutes of hard-fought play, the ‘Boys had much to celebrate while the G-Men will have to fly back east bemoaning a second straight loss to Dallas this season.
After two quarters, the Giants’ defense proved up to the task of dealing with a Cowboys offense that now is ranked among the 10 best in our NFL offense rankings. The unit surprisingly held Dallas to just seven points when halftime rolled around and had two interceptions on star quarterback Dak Prescott.
However, the holiday cheer would end in the second half for New York, as their mediocre offense was held to just seven in the second half and the Cowboys’ offense got rolling. Dallas would go on to score 21 points in the final two quarters and run away with an easy 28-20 win at home on Turkey Day.
The victory moved them even closer to the first place Philadelphia Eagles and strengthened their seeding in the NFC come playoff time. The Cowboys obliterated another playoff contender in the Minnesota Vikings last week.
With that all in mind, let’s take a look at the biggest winners and losers from the second game on the NFL’s Thanksgiving schedule.
