Cowboys returner Whitehead out vs Giants for rules violation
The Giants capitalized on these mistakes and scored 20 unanswered points through an Odell Beckham touchdowns and Rashad Jennings touchdown, with the addition of two field goals. That includes the playoff upset at Texas Stadium after the 2007 season that ignited the Giants’ first Super Bowl run with Manning at the helm.
The 110th meeting between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys comes at a pivotal time in the season.
On Sunday night (Dec. 11), the New York Giants played the Dallas Cowboys, a bitter NFC rivalry that goes back decades.
Dallas is clearly the better and more consistent team of the two, but the Giants match up perfectly with their NFC East rivals. Moments later Giants Leon Hall intercepted a pass intended for Bryant and NY was off to the races.
“I’ve seen teams and coaches criticized for not having a big enough portfolio when they get to the playoffs because teams have the book on them when they’re in the playoffs. That’s really the story”.
These teams know each other all too well so we’ll see a lot of things we’ve seen before, but don’t expect this game to play out like it did in Week 1.
Jones smiled when the inevitable question came of whether Tony Romo’s role will change after Prescott struggled mightily in the Meadowlands. “That’s encouraging as we go into these last few games”. “Maybe we can do something similar”. Then they travel to Lincoln Financial Field for a Thursday night showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles before ending the season at the Washington Redskins on New Years’ Day. “Our inability to stay on the field and drive the football”.
But Beckham, stepped up, as he often does, and sped through the Cowboys on a 61-yard touchdown play.
The Giants allowed their first 100-yard rusher (Le’Veon Bell, 118 yards on 29 carries) and had no answers to stop tight end Ladarius Green (six catches for 110 yards and a TD).
“I think it’s just the mentality that we have as a team and what coach preaches”, Durant said.
“Worst Commercial Ever” of the Week: This ad has been around a little while, but it gets more mind-numbing with each view. “It was a real race”. So we’ll just continue that way.
Rookie Romeo Okwara stepped in for him and delivered a sack and eight tackles, while several others who have been key all season-Damon Harrison, Landon Collins, Jonathan Casillas, Devon Kennard-all showed up with strong efforts alongside him. He was 1-for-5 for 10 yards and two interceptions throwing to Bryant on third down.
More measured observers will note Manning and Romo have been battling for NFC East superiority for over a decade and, during that time, forged a relationship built on mutual respect.
And no one has come close to containing Elliott to 2.5 yards per carry or to a long run of 8 yards since that opening night.
It is still unclear who’s snap total will take a hit when Vereen returns against the Cowboys but the Giants are excited either way because they are getting a dynamic talent back on the offense.
NY was plagued by sloppiness and poor blocking in the second straight game in didn’t score in the opening half.
The 2016 Dallas Cowboys have been nothing short of a revelation, one crafted through years of good planning, smart additions, and complimentary pieces. Considering that Dallas either had the lead or was tied for the majority of the game, this imbalance is hard to explain.
Coming into the game, Dallas rookie quarterback Dak Prescott had thrown only two interceptions in the first 12 games. “What’s he got four interceptions now?” The franchise leader is another Hall of Famer, Bob Hayes, with 71. They lost him to a concussion early in the second quarter after his first catch.
