The Giants, who entered the game as 10-point underdogs, dominated the second half to secure the unexpected victory.

However, the Giants defense clamped down, holding Dallas to just 14 points for the rest of the game. The Giants offense, led by quarterback Daniel Jones, struggled to find rhythm in the first half. Jones threw an interception and was sacked four times. But after halftime, the Giants offense exploded. Running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Jones threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Darius Slayton caught both of Jones’ touchdown passes, including a 55-yard bomb in the third quarter.
