Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Giants’ 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday:
Hero
Dak Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
Dak Prescott throws a pass in front of rushers Bobby Okereke (58) and linebacker Brian Burns during the Giants’ 20-15 Week 4 loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26, 2024. APHe directed four scoring drives and only took one sack against the vaunted Giants pass rush.
Zero
The Giants faced the worst-ranked rushing defense in the NFL and managed just 26 yards on 24 carries.
Devin Singletary rushed for 24, but the holes were not created by the offensive line.
Unsung Hero
Who said Ezekiel Elliott is the Cowboys’ main running back again?
Rico Dowdle had a game-high 46 rushing yards, but more importantly weaved around tacklers on a 15-yard touchdown catch, when officials picked up a penalty flag.
Key stat
13: Straight wins by Prescott against the Giants, having not lost since Dec. 11, 2016.
Quote
“We don’t feel good about losing.”
— Daniel Jones when asked if competing with the Cowboys (who blew them out twice last year) is encouraging.
