The Cowboys’ offense game New York a sliver of hope by struggling in the red zone. After the fourth-down blunder from the Giants late in the third quarter, the Dallas touchdown stretched the lead to 15 and forced New York to come out firing on offense.
Giants quarterback Mike Glennon tried to spark the offense with a deep ball intended for Sterling Shepard. The throw was off-target and safety Malik Hooker, who has seen a big increase in snaps, came down with the interception for the Cowboys.

Hooker’s interception is the third takeaway for the Dallas defense who also forced a turnover on downs to make it four for all intents and purposes. The Cowboys defense is the star of the show again and offenses haven’t had an answer in a while.
