2. team. 123. Dallas finally saw its11-game win streak snapped, and once again it was the Giants who got the job done. Dak Prescott looked miserable playing in the cold, throwing two interceptions and fumbling in the loss. I have never seen a quarterback throwing on the sidelines with his coat on, but Prescott (who was born in Louisiana and played in the SEC) was forced to do just that. As typical with an NFC East game, the final minutes were what made all the difference. After a perfectly executed punt by the Giants, Prescott was backed up in his own end zone, and failed to complete a first down in the final minute. A drop by Dez Bryant on the final play cued the “Dez caught it” mentions on Twitter, but ultimately the Giants pulled out their second win over Dallas this season. <p>Next Week: Dallas now gets the red hot Buccaneers in Jerry World next week in primetime, Sunday Night Football. Tampa Bay is riding high with a five-game win streak, and the Prescott vs Winston storyline will make the matchup even more intriguing as the week goes on.</p> <p>Playoff Hopes: Dallas remains atop the NFC East, and has already punched their ticket to the playoffs. New York can still contend for the division, but needs a couple of games to fall in their favor. Having the head-to-head advantage over Dallas is the key for New York clinging onto the East at this point.</p>. 11-2. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys
