Jason Garrett: Greg Hardy will not be disciplined

The Giants were able to take advantage of the miscues the Cowboys had, scoring a majority of their points off Cowboy turnovers or mistakes made in certain areas. “We’ll see what the coach says about it. (Hardy) was just trying to get us fired up”.

Of course, the play of the game was the 100 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by ex-Cowboy Dwayne Harris. The Cowboys faced the Giants yesterday, and I thought coming off of a bye week would help the Boys get back on track.

But it was another special-teamer who made the difference.

A spark is one thing.

It was the first win for the Giants (4-3) in the NFC East rivalry in the past six meetings.

Cromartie’s other interception, the third Giants’ pick within five throws by Cassel, led to nothing, and then Cassel found the range. Dez Bryant has another week or two before his return, and Tony Romo isn’t eligible to play until Week 11. “By in large, I think we’re getting very good effort”.

A lot can change between now and the end of the season, but as of right now, the Giants appear to be in complete control of their playoff destiny. “Just act like I’ve been there before was my mentality, and make something good happen”. The Giants snapped a five game losing streak against them. “I just had to communicate what we were going to do next on the return, so I just really wanted him to move on so we could get going”. “We talk about that every week”.

Coughlin apparently decided he had not seen enough of a spark from any of his running backs thus far this season. Darkwa finished the day with 8 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown. But the stats only tell part of the story, especially with the lack of opportunities and targets for Odell Beckham Jr. The touchdown to (Devin) Street was a big-time play with a guy in his face. And so we can’t make mistakes with the makeup of our roster right now. We got the W, so nothing is more important than that.

“I have to do a better job”. McFadden gained 152 yards on 29 carries.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning (10) throws a pass as Dallas Cowboys’ Demarcus Lawrence (90) rushes him during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, October 25, 2015, in East Rutherford, N.J. Cassel’s strength is the deep ball, but he had three interceptions Sunday against the Giants, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Hardy, who on Sunday confronted special teams coach Rich Bissacia toward the end of the team’s loss to the Giants, was reportedly late to practice last week.

Coughlin said that Pierre-Paul, expected to meet with the Giants on Tuesday, has not arrived.

“We were a plus-4”, Coughlin noted as a key to the victory. But he left the door open for Moore to return this week after being inactive after his penalty last Monday against the Eagles.
