Cowboys – Giants (27-20): New York is swept by Dallas

Dallas Cowboys (5-7) – New York Giants (2-10): 27-20

This is the 126th time the two teams have met in the NFL, but only the third time on Thanksgiving. Two years after their last meeting During this event, the situation ended in the same way for the Giants, with a loss, in a meeting that lacked intensity. The score is even very flat for the New York team below, marked by many mistakes (13 penalties).

This 10th loss of the season could end Brian Daboll’s time for the Giants. The guard, quarterback Drew Lock, who was sacked 6 times, has not worked miracles. Worse, he makes a costly loss of balls. But he is far from the main culprit.

Opposite, Dallas applies logic. Despite their scare, Mike McCarthy’s men still secured their second consecutive victory over another division rival. There is still a little hope for the playoffs, but at least they deserve to keep going.

Inevitable, but points

This game looked boring between two teams who lacked confidence. There was no shortage of that in the first half, especially in attack. Despite three excellent offensive lines, both attacks quickly returned to earth, delivering content that was far from inevitable.

So it’s logical that Dallas’ defense will take over New York’s attack, marked by the interception was returned for a touchdown with a lot of determination from DeMarvion Overshown. In addition to Tyrone Tracy Jr.’s accident. (9 rushes, 32 yards, TD) at the start of the game, the Giants are hard to see on offense. For his first start of the season, Drew Lock (21/32, 178 yards, INT – 4 rushes, 57 yards, TD) is constantly put under pressure, and even leads the a distraction that is far from Brian Daboll’s encouragement of play calls.

On the other hand, it is not much better. However, Cooper Rush (21/36, 195 yards, TD) is interesting, but not helping. Star receiver CeeDee Lamb (2 REC, 39 yards) is unknown, author of 3 loose balls. So Mike McCarthy’s attack doesn’t produce a goal, and he doesn’t take advantage of the score advantage they got thanks to their defence. Their final offensive streak ended even with a fumble on 4th down, and 3 punts.

Rico Dowdle, at your service

Guess how the Giants’ first offensive drive of the second half will start? With a turnover, obviously, by Eric Kendricks stealing the ball from Drew Lock. Despite a potentially costly upheaval, Cooper Rush develops this recovered ball throwing the ball to Brandin Cooks who was returning to address. New York is definitely letting up, with Drew Lock still being eaten by Micah Parsons back at his best.

This second period is one-way. In a quarter, Dallas will put New York in the oven for good. The man of the game offensively for the Cowboys, running back Rico Dowdle (22 rushes, 112 yards, TD), is responsible for ending the suspense that was not there in the end. So Mike McCarthy can rest his executives for next week.

Drew Lock’s touchdown run is nothing more than news for a New York team that could be in for a tumultuous few weeks.
