EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Dallas Cowboys have become accustomed to trailing in the first quarter through four games, thanks to a defense that has been generous.
Unlike the past two losses, against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys' offense was able to answer after the New York Giants opened with a field goal drive. It wasn't always pretty thanks to some penalties, but the drive ended with a 15-yard screen pass from Dak Prescott to running back Rico Dowdle to give Dallas a 7-3 lead.
