In the most watched regular-season NFL game ever, the Dallas Cowboys handled the New York Giants 28-20 on Thanksgiving to start a new win streak and claim sole control of second place in the NFC East. This is the second year in a row the Cowboys have swept the Giants, a team they’ve owned with Dak Prescott as the starting quarterback. Having already won at the Giants this season without Prescott, the Cowboys settled into this game after trailing in the first half and let their defense take over again.
After a short week filled with nothing but praise for the Cowboys following their 40-3 blowout win in Minnesota, Mike McCarthy’s team showed they still belong at the top of the conference with a complete effort in all three phases of the game.
