It went wide right, leaving the game tied at 0-0 and giving DAL excellent field position. After a 3rd-down drop by rookie Kadarius Toney, Graham Gano lined up for a 54-yard field goal attempt.
NYG had the initial momentum, forcing an interception on a 4th-down pass from Prescott to running back Ezekiel Elliott by Lorenzo Carter. If NYG wanted to truly turn this ship around, this would be the game they had to win. Dallas, winners of 3 straight, was pretty much fully healthy with a quarterback in Dak Prescott who has found himself in the early MVP discussion. They would have to do so without their top wide receiver in Sterling Shepard and defensive general, Blake Martinez. They would have to do so without their left tackle Andrew Thomas, who was active but did not play. A statement that their dynamic, come-from-behind win in New Orleans was no fluke, but the new norm. A statement that they were on the way up with Joe Judge at the helm. A statement that they could contend for the division crown. A division rivalry that has been anything but in recent years would be an opportunity for NYG to make a statement. After riding high following their emotional Week 4 win against the Saints, the Giants went on the road for the second straight week to take on the NFC East favorite Dallas Cowboys.
