The New York Giants came into Monday night with a surprising 2-0 record as they headed into their first divisional matchup of the year hosting the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys were without Dad Prescott and Michael Gallup, and the Giants spent the week as favorites going into the primetime showdown.
After a first half of the Giants and Cowboys exchanging field goals, Big Blue went into the half trailing 6-3.
The Giants got the ball first in the second half and tied the game at 6-6. On the Giants next drive, they would put together a nice drive which ended in a nice touchdown run by Saquon Barkley. The run gave the Giants a 13-6 lead in the third quarter.
After that, it was all Cowboys as they would come away with 17 points on their following three drives. The Giants made a late push to try and get back in the game but it was too little too late as the Giants fell to their division rivals. 23-16.
The Giants’ final drive ended with an interception by Trevon Diggs and on the play Sterling Shepard looked to have been seriously inured with a leg injury. Shepard’s injury warranted being carted off as the play added injury to the brutal loss of the game.
In a game where Daniel Jones faced pressure early and often, he played well for Big Blue. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as there were a ton of missed opportunities by plenty of players around Jones.
Here’s how Twitter reacted.
Graham Gano ties it back up with a 51-yard FG.
GIANTS 6, COWBOYS 6

The Giants' offense is a mess. Their best play is Daniel Jones dropping back and just taking off.
— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) September 27, 2022
The #Cowboys have six pressures and three sacks when rushing just four players. #Giants

SAQUON IS BACK!!!!!!
— LeBron James (@KingJames) September 27, 2022
Finally, Saquon Barkley breaks free. Sheds a couple tackles and goes 36 yards for a touchdown. All of a sudden Giants have the lead, 13-6.

saquon doing what saquon does! That man is elite!

Saquon is back!!! 🤯🤯🤯
— Prince Amukamara (@PrinceAmukamara) September 27, 2022
The home run ability of @saquon is so important. You can bottle him up for most of the night, but you always have to feee he’ll pop one.

Amazingly great response drive by Cooper Rush. Great heart at the goal line by Zeke.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) September 27, 2022
Perfect answer by the Cowboys as Zeke runs through a Tae Crowder tackle attempt at the goal line for a touchdown. Crowder has to wrap up there.
Giants 13, Cowboys 13, 27 seconds left in third quarter

These officials are garbage

Dallas is so undisciplined, wow! Good for us but man this would be a different game without those penalties.
— Lᴀᴡʀᴇɴᴄᴇ Tʏɴᴇs (@lt4kicks) September 27, 2022
Cowboys WR Cee Dee Lamb, who has a couple of ugly drops tonight, makes a spectacular, 1-handed catch in the corner of the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown.
That puts the Cowboys up 20-13 with 8:30 to play.

Sterling Shepard and Kenny Golladay drop back-to-back passes on 2nd and 3rd down, with a delay of game penalty mixed in, to kill that Giants drive
Then KaVontae Turpin returns the punt 28 yards. Touchdown saved by punter Jamie Gillan with the tackle

Daniel Jones has played to win tonight, and he deserved better.
The haters are going to hate, but he's stepped up under a lot of pressure.
— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) September 27, 2022
@giants really missing @leonardwilliams right now. Run defense has been ghost all game #MNF
— Chris Canty (@ChrisCanty99) September 27, 2022
The pressure Daniel Jones is facing tonight is impossible to overcome. Somehow got them into range for a 51-yard Gano field goal to cut the deficit to 23-16 with 3:37 remaining. Gano kicking off after OL Devery Hamilton stepped on his right foot after the FG.

Awful to see Shep carted off. Again. #nyg
— Kim Jones (@KimJonesSports) September 27, 2022
Damn man!!!
— Brandon Jacobs (@BrandonJacobs27) September 27, 2022
Sterling Shepard down and in serious pain. Grabbing his left leg on play that ended with Trevon Diggs INT. Can't get a break.
Shepard limps onto cart. Players for both teams coming up to console him on cart.
Tough to watch.

So many are out and on the field for Sterling Shepard, who is being carted off #Giants pic.twitter.com/D04ej2cF04

No. No. No

Looked like Jihad Ward and DeMarcus Lawrence had to be separated after the game.
