The Giants were only good enough to make their latest Cowboys loss really hurt

The Giants controlled the clock. They committed their fewest penalties of the season. They punted once. They didn’t miss a kick. They didn’t surrender a second-half touchdown. And they enjoyed another incredible performance from star rookie Malik Nabers.

They couldn’t ask for much more — just more than they could give.

For the second time in the season’s first four weeks, the Giants failed to reach the end zone, allowing the Cowboys to leave MetLife Stadium on Thursday night with a 20-15 win.

It was the Cowboys’ seventh straight win over their rival, as well as Dak Prescott’s 13th straight win against the Giants, which is tied for the second-longest streak by a quarterback against an opponent in NFL history.
