The Cowboys are taking what some may consider their own sweet time in putting a bowtie on the Giants, but the methodical approach is working. Dallas whiffed on their opening possession, driving the length of the field but failing to score on four opportunities from goal-to-go. They then went three and out but soon righted the ship.
A touchdown by CeeDee Lamb was followed by an interception off the arm of Dak Prescott, but the defense held the Giants on four plays from the 12-yard line. The offense went back to work and soon TE Jake Ferguson was getting his chance.
Dallas drove 96 yards down the field on the scoring drive, with the final play a one-yard touchdown pass on second down to Ferguson in the back of the end zone.
Dak Prescott to Jake Ferguson for a @dallascowboys TD!

It’s the second-year tight end’s third-straight game with a score and his fourth on the young season. He’s become a true weapon for teh Dallas offense.
