It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cowboys notched a win on Thanksgiving over a division rival. the Giants. They came out flat in the first half, but turned on the jets in the second half to dominate an ailing New York squad. The Cowboys now have sole possession of second place in the NFC East and added one more W to their divisional record.
It’s not uncommon for games to be close when it’s two divisional teams squaring off, or when both teams are playing on a short week. This was both, and there were just as many plays that kept the underdog Giants in the game as there were plays that helped the Cowboys pull ahead.
