Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants recap: Scores, updates, highlights and more

1st quarter

The New York Giants won the toss and put the ball back, giving the offense a chance to give the team a lead that they were able to exploit. Dallas went three out and that was it.

New York started to move and had a big chance on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers in the first period. Ultimately they managed to prevail, but not before securing the first points of the game with a field goal.

At this point, the Dallas Cowboys got to work in earnest. Over the course of 12 plays, they ultimately gained 95 yards thanks to the remarkable work of Dak Prescott (writing penalties). The possession was capped off with a screen pass to Rico Dowdle for a touchdown. There was initially a penalty, but it was overturned.

The quarter ended a few plays later when the Giants had the ball.
