The Cowboys took a 20-13 lead on a one-handed grab by CeeDee Lamb. There is a 0:31
Cooper Rush started for the first time in his career and led the Dallas Cowboys to a 23-16 victory against the New York Giants. He was helped by a ferocious pass rush that pressured and sacked Daniel Jones.
Rush was at his best when the Cowboys needed him the most. Rush led back-to-back touchdown drives after the Giants took a 13-6 lead in the third quarter. The first drive ended with New York tying it up for the fifth game in a row, thanks to a touchdown by the Cowboys running back.
Rush threw a perfect fade to the corner of the end zone, where receiver CeeDee Lamb made a one-handed grab, to end the second. Rush and Lamb converted a fourth-and-4 and then connected for a touchdown to the 1-yard line.
Rush finished with 215 yards and a touchdown, but they were good enough to win. Rush has won his first three starts for the Cowboys. What about the other two? Roger Staubach is a Hall of Fame player. He's only the second quarterback in the Super Bowl era to win three games with game-winning drives in the fourth and overtime.
In three games, the Cowboys have 13 sacks. They kept pestering Daniel Jones. Everyone knows about the man. Lawrence had his third three-sack game of his career against the Giants, but he injured his foot. Six defenders have sacks. The Cowboys have a varied pass rush that can keep them fresh during a game.
Lamb was smiling afterwards, but a second quarter drop killed him. He could have scored if he held on to the pass. He was the first player to drop a wide-open target this season. It was the fourth drop of its kind since 2020 and he had 6 yards. But on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, Lamb was stellar, converting a fourth-down pass, picking up 26 yards and then making the one-handed touchdown catch that had fellow No.
The Cowboys have never had a player have a rushing touchdown in five straight games against the Giants, but that's notrated.
The next game is against the commanders. The event will take place on October 2nd.
The Giants had used this formula to win the previous two weeks, keeping the game low- scoring, making enough offensive plays in the second half and winning.
This time, the defense did not hold up. The Giants dropped from the top of the rankings. Only the Eagles and Dolphins are still perfect. New York is in good shape with the Chicago Bears coming to town.
Even though his numbers weren't great, Jones played well.
Most of the time, the Giants' best option was Jones' legs. Jones had seven rushes for first downs, the most by a quarterback this season. He ran nine times for 78 yards in the game. He had 16 runs for 46 yards. Jones is on pace for 142 rushes this season. The quarterback with the most rushing attempts last year was Hurts of Philadelphia.
