The Cowboys offense was bipolar throughout the first half in New York, mixing drops and untimely penalties or missed ones to derail scoring chances. After the missed chances, Giants running back Saquon Barkley finally broke loose for a 36-yard score.
With the pressure against Dallas, quarterback Cooper Rush led his best drive of the game. Going to wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown, Rush moved down the field before finding the latter for a gain down to the 1-yard line. Running back Ezekiel Elliott took the field for the goal-to-go situation, and bounced off a New York defender before reaching the endzone to tie the game.
