The G-Men then punted on three of their next four drives as the Cowboys took a 13-10 lead into the locker room.
The Giants got the ball to start the second half, but on just the third play, Locke lost a fumble, and Dallas took advantage. Six plays later, after escaping his own turnover, Cooper Rush found Brandon Cooks for the score. New York then went three-and-out, and it was a nine-play touchdown drive for the Cowboys with Rico Dowdle finding the end zone to go up 27-10 late in the third.
New York kicked a field goal early in the fourth, and after keeping Dallas off the scoreboard, Locke ran in for a touchdown with a little more than two minutes left. However, the Giants could not get the ball back, and the Cowboys ran out the clock to win the game.

Locke then began. Tommy DeVitoLock, who originally started last week despite being the season-long backup after the release of Daniel Jones, was ruled inactive with an arm injury. He was 21-for-32 for 178 yards with a pick and a fumble, but was also the team’s leading rusher with 57 yards.
Dallas’ win came at a cost as CD Lamb left the game with a shoulder injury. He had two catches for 39 yards.
Malik Neighbors also made history. He also has the most catches (75) in a player’s first 10 games in the league, breaking former Giant Odell Beckham Jr.’s record of 71.
It’s the third-most games the Giants have had a different quarterback, a far cry from Eli Manning’s nearly 13 years of starting every game.
Dallas has now won 20 of their last 24 and each of their last eight against the Giants. (The Cowboys also beat the Giants on Thanksgiving two years ago.) Dowdle rushed for 112 yards on 22 carries, including one score.
