Giants, Cowboys Players Get Chippy During Postgame Handshakes

A tight battle between NFC East rivals came to a contentious end on Monday Night Football as the Cowboys put the finishing touches on a 23-16 win over the Giants.

After cornerback Trevon Diggs came away with a game-sealing interception late in the fourth quarter, Dallas’ offense marched on to the field with 1:14 remaining on the clock to kneel out the rest of the game. Instead of getting a head start on the post-game handshakes, however, players from both teams started jawing back and forth before a full-on skirmish broke out on the field.

The tussle carried on as the clock ticked down to its final seconds, giving the longtime foes a little extra time to keep the competition going until the bitter end.
