It took six tries and nearly three months of the season, but for the first time in 2024, the Dallas Cowboys are winners at home.
Dallas flustered and frustrated New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock in a 27-20 win.
The win was a second straight for the Cowboys in a season marked by disappointment. It was the first win at home after going 0-5 at AT&T Stadium. It comes against a Giants team (2-10) that’s in the midst of a worse season than the Cowboys.
Lock got his first start on Thursday since signing with the Giants in the offseason. It did not go well.
The Cowboys sacked Lock six times. They forced one interception and a forced fumble. Lock finished the day completing 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no passing touchdowns and the pick-6.
On offense, the Cowboys controlled the game on the ground and got 112 yards and a touchdown from Rico Dowdle. Cooper Rush completed 21 of 36 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers.
The Giants’ season goes from bad to worse with the loss. Lock is New York’s third quarterback to start this season after the benching and release of Daniel Jones. Tommy DeVito started last week in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Neither provide hope of making the Giants competitive. New York’s 2-10 record is the worst in the NFL.
