That positive gain could have given Dan Bailey a chance to kick a game-winning field goal, but Williams has to do that right thing before the play ends. “It came down to us – before our last offensive drive – it came down to our defense getting a stop and we failed to do it this time”.

Could Williams have gotten out of bounds?
“I was trying to make the first guy miss, and then just dive out of bounds, but it didn’t go as planned”. What could have been an exciting victory instead was just another loss without Romo at the helm.
Dallas should have won this game.
I had a ticket to Tennessee’s “Battle of Bristol” game against Virginia Tech on the September 10. He finished the game catching three balls for 34 yards and that includes the final play where NY played a prevent defense. The 15th anniversary of September 11 resonates with Cruz, the son of a 30-year New Jersey fireman who was among the first responders at Ground Zero.
Prescott, a former Haughton standout, completed 25 of 45 passes for 227 yards with no TDs or interceptions.
REINFORCEMENTS: The opener brightened the outlook for the NY defence after its overhaul in free agency. If they can get some help from their secondary, which also includes some big money, the New York Giants could become a surprise in the National Football League in 2016. Bullock missed the extra point.
Dallas had to settle for field goals after wide receivers dropped two would-be touchdowns. Unfortunately it was free agent Alfred Morris, who ran for 35 yards on 7 carries, not first-round draft pick Ezekiel Elliott. Bailey split the uprights for the extra point, and Dallas led 16-13. Bryant, meanwhile, had one catch for 8 yards. He had already hit a 54-yarder earlier in the game. Drives stalled and the Cowboys settled for field goals when they should have scored touchdowns, but that was more the play-calling rather than the play execution.
The Giants are coming off a confidence bolstering win against a hated divisional rival, and they are facing a saints team that seems to enjoy burying themselves in a hole these past few years. The Cowboys defense struggles in the first half, makes sound adjustments, puts the opponent in the corner but the Cowboys ask the defense to make it happen one more time and they can’t.
“Really liked his poise, his composure, his decision-making throughout and how he handled different situations in the game”, Garrett said.
“He was very poised”, Witten told reporters after the game. I thought he threw the ball well. No matter who made the play a Cowboy or Giant the crowd was loud. “Everybody communicated and we played within the scheme”, Jenkins said.
Dak and the Cowboys would get the ball back with 1:05 remaining in the game down 20-19.
Even with the conservative game plan and offense, Prescott still had a chance to win the game. With Cruz back on the field, NY has one of the best receiving corps in the NFL. “Yeah, for the most part”.

“No, to be honest with you, but I’m excited to have that opportunity”, Cruz said after catching four passes for 34 yards and a score. The sun kind of got us on a little bit.
