NFL: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

In-game updates

TWO-TOUCHDOWN LEAD: Trevon Diggs NFL-leading sixth interception led to a 38-yard Greg Zeurlein field goal to give Dallas a 27-13 lead with 2:02 left in the third quarter.

DALLAS STRETCHES LEAD: Dallas stretched its lead to 24-13 with 7:11 remaining in the third quarter on a 4-yard Dak Prescott to Ezekiell Elliott touchdown pass. Dallas went 75 yards in 10 plays, taking 4:03 off the clock, for the score.

GIANTS ADD 3: A 51-yard field goal by Graham Gano with 11:18 left in the third quarter pulled the Giants within 17-13.

ANOTHER INJURY: Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay has been ruled out with a knee injury.

DALLAS BACK IN THE LEAD: The Cowboys took the lead again on a 24-yard pass to Amari Cooper with :41 left in the half. James Bradberry dropped an interception on the previous plays. Dallas leads, 17-10.

This is the play before the Cooper touchdown:

GIANTS TIE THE SCORE: Devontae Booker dove in for a 1-yard score on fourth-and-goal one play after the Daniel Jones injury to tie the game with 2:56 to play in the first half. Mike Glennon took over at quarterback for the Giants.

DANIEL JONES LEAVES GAME: Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was forced to leave the game after taking a hit on a third-and-goal bootleg inside the Dallas 1-yard line with 3:47 left in the half. Jones was carted off.

GIANTS GET ON THE BOARD: A 43-yard pass from Daniel Jones to Kadarius Toney led to a 51-yard Graham Gano field goal as the Giants got their first points. New York now trailed, 10-3, with 10:10 remaining in the half.

DALLAS STRETCHES LEAD: The Cowboys stretched their lead to 10-0 on a 49-yard pass from Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb with 12:06 left in the second quarter.

BARKLEY LIMPS OFF: Star running back Saquon Barkley limped off the field with a left ankle injury with 6:17 left in the first quarter. After an incomplete pass, Barkley stepped on the foot of Dallas defensive back Jordan Lewis. [Full story]

3-0 Dallas: A 31-yard field goal by Greg Zeurlein gave Dallas a 3-0 lead with 6:20 left in the first quarter. The Cowboys went 44 yards in 10 plays for the score after the Gano missed field.

GANO MISSES FROM 54: The Giants failed to capitalize on the turnover. Kadarius Toney dropped a third-down pass and Graham Gano then missed a 54-yard field goal.

Significantly for the Giants, Andrew Thomas (foot) did not start at left tackle. Nate Solder started on the left side and Matt Peart started at right tackle.

CARTER WITH THE PICK! This is how Dallas’ first possession ended:


The 1-3 New York Giants have an opportunity on Sunday to insert themselves into the NFC East division race as they are on the road to face the division-leading Dallas Cowboy (3-1). The Giants are 7-point underdogs in the 4:25 p.m. game on FOX.

The Giants got some good news before the game when it was announced that left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) would play.

Sunday’s game comes almost a year to the day of Dak Prescott’s season-ending ankle injury last season against the Giants.
