The Dallas Cowboys are crumbling down after suffering their fourth consecutive loss without Tony Romo as the starting quarterback. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie delivered in that department coming away with two critical interceptions, one of which was a 58-yard touchdown return.

Hardy’s animated discussion with Bryant followed immediately after Hardy broke into the special-teams huddle to berate his teammates after they gave up Dwayne Harris’ 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that gave the Giants their winning margin, 27-20.
Dallas used all three of its remaining timeouts and forced the Giants to punt from its 32 with 1:36 to play, but Cole Beasley muffed Brad Wing’s kick and the Giants recovered to clinch the victory. We give them credit. “We’ll see what the coach says about it. [Hardy] was just trying to get us fired up”, he continued. “We’re still in the hunt”. It kind of goes back and forth.

Dallas RB Joseph Randle left the game with a back strain. “No problem. That doesn’t bother me at all”, Jones said.
The offense needs to get better. “When he hit a couple of plays off-tackle, we were holding our breath there to try to get him down, particularly when he got started through the line of scrimmage”. You have to understand you’re going up against a veteran corner. It might never happen if Terrance Williams could fix the two biggest holes in his game – running his routes and fighting for the ball with more tenacity.
ONE-HAND CATCHES: Odell Beckham is no longer the only Giant who has made a one-hand catch against Dallas cornerback Brandon Carr. The Giants have won four of five and will visit the suddenly resurgent Saints next week. He guided Dallas on an 80-yard drive, with a pinpoint pass to Street, whose first career TD came on a tip-toe reception in the right corner of the end zone.

But Garrett is preaching the same message he conveys with his stoic sideline demeanor, even though he’s been stuck for more than a month just a win shy of matching two-time Super Bowl victor Jimmy Johnson for the second-most victories in franchise history at 44.
