First, here’s a quick overview of the offensive game as a whole. The Cowboys’ eleven-game winning streak was snapped against the Giants in a 10-7 loss in New Jersey, in their worst offensive performance of the year.
The Cowboys gained just as many yards as New York - 260 - almost evenly split the time of possession, 29:08 to 30:52, ran one less play (66 to 67), and made one more first down. Both teams turned the ball over three times. The difference in some respects was a 55-yard Dan Bailey field goal attempt right before halftime that bounced off the middle of the uprights and fell back.
