Arlington – After exactly 334 days, the Dallas Cowboys have won another home game in the NFL. On Thanksgiving, the team from Texas beat the New York Giants 27:20 (13:10). The Cowboys had previously lost their first five home games in the US Football League this season.
Defender DeMarvion Overshown provided the highlight of the game: midway through the second quarter, he intercepted a pass attempt from Giants quarterback Drew Lock by tapping the ball once in the air with one hand, then picking it up and running it 23 yards into the end zone.
Overshown gave the Cowboys a 13-7 lead, which the hosts never relinquished. In the third round, Dallas followed up with two more touchdowns: First quarterback Cooper Rush served Brandin Cooks with a short pass, then Rico Dowdle ran four yards into the end zone.
With five wins and seven losses, the Cowboys are still in third place in the NFC East. The Giants will definitely miss the playoffs with only two wins under their belt.
Green Bay Packers without problems against Miami Dolphins
The Green Bay Packers clinched their third win in a row with a 30:17 (24:3) home win against the Miami Dolphins. Although the Packers remain third in the NFC North with a record of nine wins and three defeats, the first-place Detroit Lions around German pass receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown only have two more wins to their name. Next Thursday (local time) the Packers and Lions will meet in a direct duel.
At halftime, the Packers had taken a 24-3 lead against the Giants, scoring three touchdowns. Quarterback Jordan Love passed Jayden Reed twice and Josh Jacobs also ran into the end zone.
