Giants lose Thanksgiving matchup to Cowboys with difficult stretch ahead

A huge Thanksgiving victory over the Cowboys was obviously the goal for the Giants, but also a pipedream. Big Blue entered the holiday matchup incredibly injured and coming off its worst performance of the season, a loss to the Lions. Starting cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson and Fabian Moreau were inactive. So were offensive linemen Shane Lemieux, Jon Feliciano, Evan Neal, and Josh Ezeudu.

This wasn’t supposed to be a favorable Turkey Day for the Giants, and it sure wasn’t even after a strong first half. The Giants lost 28-20 to drop to 7-4. Head coach Brian Daboll’s team has now lost two straight, and three of its last four.
