Giants settle for third field goal
After a loooooong drive — 15 plays, 52 yards, eight minutes and 10 seconds — the Giants kicked their third field goal of the game.
New York’s offense has looked good but stalled out in Dallas territory every time. If the Giants can’t start converting some of these possessions into touchdowns, it’s hard to see them winning this game.
At least they played keep away from the Cowboys, who will have only 66 seconds to score before half.
Dallas leads 14-9.
