ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys played with their food to begin a Thanksgiving contest against the New York Giants before ultimately reaching a rhythm and piling on.
At meal’s end, the Cowboys had a 28-20 victory over their NFC East rival that wasn’t as close as a last-minute Giants touchdown made it seem.
Dallas rode another two-sack game from defensive player of the year favorite Micah Parsons, it two-headed rushing attack and a near-perfect passing game from quarterback Dak Prescott in the second half to win for the second time in five days. At 8-3, the Cowboys have a firm grasp on second place in the division, sweeping the Giants in this season’s series., including across the offensive line, at receiver and in their secondary. Still, they played a tough first half and forced three de facto turnovers from the home team.
Dallas turned over the ball on downs when Giants linebacker Jaylon Smith stuffed Ezekiel Elliott short on a fourth-and-2 attempt. Prescott and his receivers also appeared to twice miscommunicate on what became interceptions, the first by Giants cornerback Rodarius Williams on a sideline pass intended for Michael Gallup and soon after on an over-the-middle target of CeeDee Lamb instead grabbed by safety Julian Love.
