Did the Giants expose the Cowboys in sweep of Dallas?

Dallas Cowboys receiver and return specialist Lucky Whitehead won’t play against the New York Giants on Sunday night for an unspecified violation of team rules.

The Giants are the only team to beat the Cowboys this season when they did so in Week 1 at AT&T Stadium.

The New York Giants are hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

The Cowboys were uncharacteristically sloppy with their ball security, turning over the ball three times – two interceptions by quarterback Dak Prescott and one lost fumble by receiver Dez Bryant on his first catch of the game, which came late in the fourth quarter. Odell Beckham Jr. led all receivers with 4 receptions for 94 yards and 1 touchdown. Behind one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League, the Cowboys have used a strong rushing attack to carry their team. “That’s really the story”.

It turns out the momentum was shifting in the Cowboys favor, as the defense forced a three-and-out on the Giants next possession. “After we lost to these guys the first time, we went on that run. Maybe we can do something similar”. Beckham is by far the Giants most explosive player, but the Giants offense flows better when everyone is getting involved. The drive would stall at the Cowboys 21 and kicker Robbie Gould would connect with a 38 yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3.

Despite their big break, the Cowboys were unable to capitalize as Prescott’s third-down pass for Bryant at the Giants’ 47-yard line was picked off by Jenkins.

“We’re so fortunate to have that legitimate discussion”, Jones said of the quarterback decision.

“These guys are sound”, Jones said. NY held Dallas to a season-low 260 total yards, limited it to 1 of 15 on third-down attempts, and forced three turnovers, the last coming late in the fourth quarter on Dez Bryant’s only reception of the game. His main adversary was linebacker Sean Lee, who had 18 tackles.

The offense, meanwhile, is perplexing: no semblance of a run game, too many holding penalties, and – in spite of a great trio of wide receivers – still too many bad throws from Manning. That was no issue for Dallas, which simply let Elliott control matters with 15 rushes for 86 yards; 2 more yards than the Giants had in total offense. With one of their poorer offensive lines in recent years, the Giants are ranked 31 in rushing, at an anemic 75.5 yards per game.

The Cowboys will be a shorthanded Sunday night in NY when they take on the Giants. As his first 12 starts occured over two seasons, this includes an additional offseason of work and development. Brown may also have to cover Cruz who scored a touchdown against the Cowboys week one. Prescott has thrown for 2,974 yards with 19 touchdowns and just two interceptions. As Bradford launched his pass over the head of Kyle Rudolph, the Cowboys defender hit him in the face.”He (the official) told me that I did not get hit in the facemask”, Bradford said.Thornton should have been called for roughing the passer and the Vikings given another attempt at the two-point conversion.
