Cowboys Dump Giants In Monday Night Football

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – A black cat did nothing to jinx the Dallas Cowboys at the Meadowlands Monday night.  Dak Prescott threw two of his three touchdown passes in a 21-point fourth quarter that carried the Cowboys to a 37-18 win over the Giants. Prescott hit Blake Jarwin for a 42-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half to cut into New York’s 12-3 lead. The Dallas QB added a 15-yarder to Michael Gallup and a 45-yarder to Amari Cooper in the fourth to clinch the victory.  Jourdan Lewis scored on a 63-yard fumble return in the final seconds for the 5-3 Cowboys.
The game was stopped for a few minutes while a cat scampered on the field during a Giants drive in the second quarter. The feline darted toward the end zone and made an elusive beeline toward a camera platform before running up the tunnel to the cheers of the big crowd.  Dallas outscored the Giants, 34-9 once the kitty left the field.  The cat picked up almost as much yardage as Ezekiel Elliott, who shredded the Giants for 139 yards rushing.  Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones was 26 of 41 for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also was New York’s top ground-gainer with 54 yards on six carries, while Saquon Barkley ran 14 times for just 28 yards.  New York is 2-7 following its fifth straight loss.
