Arlington, Texas – The New York Giants continued to struggle as they faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in a Thanksgiving showdown. Despite a strong start, the Giants were unable to secure a much-needed victory, falling to the Cowboys 27-20. This loss marked the Giants’ seventh consecutive defeat and extended their losing streak in the NFC East rivalry to eight games.
The Giants, led by quarterback Drew Lock in his first start of the season, showed promise early on with a 70-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession. However, Lock’s performance was mixed, as he also threw a pick-six and lost a fumble during the game.
Head coach Brian Daboll faced scrutiny over the team’s offensive struggles, as the Giants managed only 70 yards on their next 10 possessions combined. Despite a late push in the fourth quarter that narrowed the score, the Giants ultimately fell short in their comeback attempt.
Defensively, the Giants missed crucial tackles and set a modern NFL record by going 11 games without an interception. The pass rush also struggled, failing to secure a sack for the third time in four games.
On the other side of the field, the Cowboys capitalized on the Giants’ weaknesses, with Cooper Rush leading the team to victory. The Giants’ defense was unable to contain the Cowboys’ offense, allowing crucial plays to slip through in critical moments.
Overall, the Giants’ performance highlighted ongoing issues with consistency and execution. As they continue to search for answers amidst a challenging season, the team faces mounting pressure to turn their season around and secure much-needed wins to salvage their campaign.
