The latest chapter in the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys rivalry was written on Thanksgiving Day. The short-handed Giants gave the Cowboys everything they could handle as they led 13-7 going into halftime. However, Dallas began exerting their will on New York in the second half with a dominant second quarter.

The Cowboys had the ball for 9:44 of the third quarter as they took control of the game on the first drive of the second half, where they held the ball for over half the quarter. The talent gap was too much for the Giants to overcome as their issues with depth, as they were down multiple starters on a short week, was too much to overcome.

At the final whistle, it was Dallas who was victorious, 28-20, as New York scored a touchdown with eight seconds remaining in the game to make the score a little more conducive to how competitive of a game it was throughout the afternoon. Despite the competitive nature of things, it was yet another historical performance for the Cowboys.

The last few weeks have been historical performances by Dallas. In Week 10, they suffered their first loss in franchise history when taking a 14+ point lead into the fourth quarter. Last week against the Minnesota Vikings, they won 40-3, giving them their largest margin of victory in a road game.

This week against the Giants, the Cowboys accomplished something that hasn’t been done since 1983. Starting tight end, Dalton Schultz, caught two touchdowns while his backup, Peyton Hendershot, rushed for one. 1983 was the last time that occurred, as the Green Bay Packers had Paul Coffman catch two touchdowns and Gary Lewis run one in.

All of the tight ends for the Cowboys contributed to the victory as Jake Ferguson also added three receptions for 57 yards. CeeDee Lamb led the way with six receptions for 106 yards through the air while Ezekiel Elliott looked like his old self, rushing the ball 16 times for 92 yards and a touchdown.
