Odell Beckham Jr. only needed one play to steal the spotlight from the Dallas Cowboys’ pair of celebrated rookies, sprinting to a 61-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to give the New York Giants a 10-7 victory.
The Cowboys’ attempt to avenge the only loss of rookie Dak Prescott’s N.F.L. career sputtered to a a 7-3 lead that was delivered on the team’s second offensive possession of the game. Prescott showed off a veteran’s ability to remain focused, just missing on a potential touchdown pass and then following it by rolling out on a bootleg that he sold so well that the entire Giants defense bit, leaving Terrance Williams wide open for a 31-yard touchdown.
