A critical mistake by Dak Prescott allowed the Giants to take a seven-point lead into halftime.
New York leads Dallas 14-7 after Jaxson DartâÂÂs 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely.
The Cowboys had gotten an extra possession after defensive tackle Quinnen Williams punched the ball out from running back Tyrone Tracy. But Prescott gave it back when he threw a pick to safety Jevon Holland on third-and-5 from Dallasâ 36. Prescott was ostensibly trying to throw the ball away, as he was heavily pressured. But he didnâÂÂt get enough on the ball while rolling to his right, and it floated long enough for Holland to make a sliding catch before the ball landed out of bounds.
Dart completed passes to Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, and Likely to get the Giants down to the 15-yard line.
Then on the next play, Dart hit a wide-open Likely in the end zone for the score.
It was a good end to the half for Dart, who completed 11-of-15 passes for 134 yards with that TD in the first two quarters. He also leads the Giants with 39 yards on three carries â including a 22-yard run. While he fumbled once, the Giants recovered it.
New York has 14 first downs, 213 yards, and was 4-of-5 on third down in the first 30 minutes. Likely leads with five catches for 59 yards with a touchdown.
Cam Skattebo opened the scoring with his 3-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter.
On the other side, Prescott is 10-of-17 for 72 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
CeeDee Lamb caught a 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter that tied the game at 7-7 with 5:44 left in the second quarter.
The Giants will have a chance to double up, as theyâÂÂll receive the second-half kickoff.
