No answers for Dak Prescott

Heroes, zeroes and the full flash of the Giants’ 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday:

hero

Dak Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.

He led four scoring drives and recorded just one sack against the Giants’ vaunted pass rush.

Zero

The Giants faced the NFL’s worst-ranked rushing defense and managed just 26 yards on 24 carries.

Devin Singletary rushed for 24, but the holes weren’t created by the offensive line.

Unsung hero

Who said Ezekiel Elliott was the Cowboys’ primary running back again?

Rico Dowdle had a game-high 46 rushing yards, but more importantly, he bypassed the tacklers on a 15-yard touchdown catch as the officials received a penalty flag.

Key statistics

13: Prescott wins consecutive wins against the Giants after not losing since December 11, 2016.

Quote

“We don’t feel good when we lose.”
