Cowboys maintain dominance over Giants after intercepting last-second Hail Mary

The Cowboys-Giants rivalry remains skewed in favor of the American team.

The reigning NFC East champions won their seventh straight game against Big Blue on Thursday in New Jersey, winning 20-15.

The Giants took the lead with a field goal, but Dallas responded with a touchdown by Rico Doodle (the one after the holding flag was picked up), followed by a long touchdown by CeeDee Lamb. Big Blue kicked two more field goals before the end of the first half and went back to the locker room up 14-9.

The Giants marched down the field to start the second half, but were stuffed again and were forced to kick their fourth field goal of the night. But Brandon Aubrey answered with a 60-yard bomb of his own to put Dallas back within five points.

The G-Men once again struggled to get the ball in the end zone, as Greg Joseph knocked down his fifth field goal of the night early in the fourth. But Aubrey scored another point, increasing Dallas' lead to 20-15 with just under seven minutes left.

On fourth-and-six, Daniel Jones targeted Malik Nabors for the 15th time (he had already caught 12 times), but couldn't finish the toe tap and with 3:21 left, the Cowboys took over.

Nabors suffered a concussion during this play.

But Aubrey missed 51 yards wide to the right with 28 seconds left and no timeouts, giving the Giants another chance. However, the Jones Hail Mary was intercepted, giving Dallas the victory.

This is the Cowboys' seventh straight win against New York, their 14th win in their past 15 games, and their 19th win in their past 23 games.

It ended a two-game losing streak for Dallas, but New York lost three of its first four games.

Entering Thursday, the Cowboys' run defense was the worst in the league, and unsurprisingly, Devin Singletary only ran for 24 yards. Nabers' 12 catches for 115 yards led all receivers, but Lamb's 7-98-1 led to the win.

Dak Prescott completed 22 of 27 for 221 yards and Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards, but the Giants' only points came on field goals.
