Our Texas-wide rivalry between the Cowboys and Giants is sandwiched between two other Thanksgiving games. The visiting Giants take a 13-7 halftime lead on the strength of two big interceptions.
After a defensively dominated opening quarter, the Cowboys took a 7-3 lead on Ezekiel Elliott’s six-yard touchdown run five seconds into the second quarter. The Giants quickly regained the lead on New York’s next drive on Saquon Barkley’s touchdown run from one yard out. The score was set two plays earlier by Darius Slayton’s 44th catch.
The Cowboys appeared to be on the verge of regaining the lead late in the first half, but the Giants’ defense stepped up after safety Julian Love intercepted Dak Prescott’s pass to CeeDee Lamb. Prescott, who threw two interceptions in Dallas’ Week 10 loss to Green Bay, was the second pick of the half.
Led by Daniel Jones, the Giants connected Love’s pick on Graham Cano’s last-second, 47-yard field goal. Jones threw for 123 yards in the first half, while Prescott threw for 116 yards through the air. Slayton’s 58 receiving yards led the Giants, while Michael Gallup had 63 yards on five catches. Elliott had a strong first half with 61 yards and seven carries.
