Halftime Highlights, Injury update on Micah Parsons as Cowboys lead Giants, 14-9

A quick recap of the first half with highlights of Dallas’ scores. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys entered their Week 4 game against the rival New York Giants game in dire straits, desperately needing a win that would restore confidence in what they could be in 2024. So far, so good as despite a three-and-out on their opening drive, the Cowboys have put together multiple scoring drives that actually landed them in the end zone.

And because the defense has held tough and limited the New York Giants to field goal attempts on their drives, the Cowboys hold a halftime lead, 14-9. Quarterback Dak Prescott started the game 14 for 15, and has tossed two touhdown passes to Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb.

After a red-zone hold pushed them back to the 15, Dak Prescott finds Dowdle on the screen pass for the score.

Micah Parsons exits the game temporarily

A brief scare for Cowboys and NFL fans as Parsons was forced to exit the game when the referee was concerned about an injury. Parsons was in on a tackle and as slow to get up.

In what was later declared a neck injury, concern for a stinger, Parsons returned to the game on the next drive.

CeeDee Lamb goes crazy

Pure poetry.
