The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the New York Giants 23-19 on Sunday. It was a frustrating way to go out as we learned how wild throws and missed opportunities doomed the offense in that game, but the disappointment carried over to both sides of the ball.
After scoring just two touchdowns over their previous three games, the Giants offense found the end zone three times in the first half against the Cowboys. The Cowboys defense did settle down as they held the Giants to just 83 yards in the second half that amounted to only three points (and it wouldn’t even have been that if they had thrown the challenge flag).
