??The Dallas Cowboys needed a big win to stay in the playoff hunt and they got it with the big play in spoiling Steve Spagnuolo’s debut as New York interim
coach and the return of quarterback Eli Manning to the Giants’ starting
lineup.Dak Prescott threw two of his three touchdown passes, including a
go-ahead 20-yarder to Giants’ nemesis Jason Witten, and linebacker Sean Lee set
up a touchdown run by Rod Smith as the Cowboys scored three times in a 4:41 span
late in the fourth quarter to beat the still reeling Giants 30-10 on Sunday.“To
me, the biggest part of this game was the finish,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett
said. “That’s always a huge emphasis for us, finishing plays, finishing drives
and ultimately finishing the game.”The Cowboys (7-6) did just that in keeping
their slim playoff hopes alive.The biggest play might have been Prescott’s
54-yard third down pass play to Cole Beasley. Witten scored on the next play to
break a 10-all tie with 7:38 to play and it seemed to take the air out of the
Giants (2-11).“We know what we got to do,” Beasley said. “We can’t play that
way. We have to focus on Dallas Cowboy football, taking it one at a time. You
can’t think ahead. We could win all of them and not get in.”After a punt, Rod
Smith scored on an 81-yard pass play on third down with 4:08 to play and he
closed out the scoring with 2:57 to play with his run on a play that looked as
if no one on the Giants wanted to tackle him.“We knew we needed a play. Guys
aren’t panicking
Bradley Chubb Jersey ,” Beasley said. “I wouldn’t say we were desperate. When you’re desperate, you start reaching a little bit, maybe start trying too
hard. You have to stay within the system and stay within the game and keep
playing and eventually have faith that those things will happen.”Prescott, who
was 20 of 30 for a career-high 332 yards also threw a 50-yard scoring pass to
Dez Bryant as the Cowboys stayed in the playoff hunt with three games left in
the regular season. Dan Bailey added a 21-yard field goal as the Cowboys
finished with 454 yards.Manning, who got a standing ovation taking the field,
threw a 1-yard TD pass to Rhett Ellison late in the second quarter that gave New
York a brief 10-3 lead. Aldrick Rosas had a 39-yard field goal. Manning finished
31 of 46 for 228 yards with a touchdown and two late interceptions.“Nothing’s
easy, but we hung in there and have played tough,” Manning said. “Dallas made a
couple big plays, and we didn’t.”The game capped a hectic week for the Giants
that started Monday with the firing of second-year coach Ben McAdoo and general
manager Jerry Reese and saw Spagnuolo promoted from defensive coordinator to
interim coach. He coached the St. Louis Rams from 2009-11.The moves came with
the Giants spiraling out of control in a season where much was expected
following their first playoff appearance since 2011.Fans were also upset with
the benching of Manning days earlier in a loss to Oakland, a decision that ended
the two-time Super Bowl MVP’s streak of 210 consecutive starts.“I’m really proud
of the men in that locker room. I told them that
Authentic Brian Urlacher Jersey ,” Spagnuolo said. “After all we went through this week, I thought the way we came out and the way we played for three and a
half quarters was something we could be proud of. We do have to figure out a way
in the fourth quarter when it gets down to gut-wrenching time to make a play or
two.”Losing close games has been a theme for the Giants this season, and it
happened again despite all the changes.“We knew the situation that they were
in,” Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said. “We knew that they had to come
and get this win to keep the run going for the playoffs and we just couldn’t
execute and finish right.”Bailey, who usually never misses a field goal against
the Giants, had a 53-yarder hit the right upright in the second quarter and he
was wide right from 50 in the third.The first half ended 10-all with both teams
having long opening drives that ended in field goals and then getting late
touchdowns passes.Manning found Ellison from a yard out to cap a 68-yard drive
and Prescott drove the Cowboys 75 yards in four plays with Bryant breaking a
tackle and scoring from 50.UP NEXTCowboy: at Oakland on Sunday night.Giants:
