Greg Joseph kicked field goals of 60 and 40 yards for the Cowboys, who improved their record to 2-2 after facing concerns following losses to New Orleans and Baltimore. However, the team faced a setback with star pass rusher Micah Parsons suffering a leg injury and being carted off the field in the fourth quarter.

Despite controlling the ball for over 35 minutes, the Giants were unable to establish a running game against the Cowboys' defense, which had been ranked as the worst against the run in the league. New York managed only 26 yards on 24 carries, averaging just 1.1 yards per attempt.

The Giants' rookie standout, Malik Nabers, had a strong showing with 12 receptions for 115 yards, but he left the game late with a concussion. The Giants' inability to convert drives into touchdowns proved costly as they fell short against their division rival.

Looking ahead, the Cowboys are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Sunday night game on October 6, while the Giants will travel to Seattle for their next matchup on the same day.

Overall, the Cowboys' dominance over the Giants continued, showcasing their ability to come out on top in crucial divisional matchups.
