As they chipped their way down to the Giants 40-yard line, Cowboys wideout Terrance Williams didn’t have the presence of mind to run out of bounds after a 14-yard catch to stop the game clock. We’ll get better and rally behind him.

Romo has been advised by team doctors that the broken vertebrae in his back is an injury that will keep him out for 6 to 10 weeks, bad news that the Cowboys don’t want to hear after Romo appeared in only four games last season. “I was just straddling the sidelines hoping that he didn’t come that way”. The yardage total was the most against NY and the TD total tied the highest in an National Football League game. It was by far the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a Cowboy game either here, or at the old Texas Stadium in Irving or the Cotton Bowl in Dallas where the Cowboys began playing in 1960.
“We’ll get better”, he said.
The Giants are now 1-0 and head back home for a shootout against the New Orleans Saints who lost their opener in stunning fashion.
Even with the conservative game plan and offense, Prescott still had a chance to win the game. A bone-headed late-game play be receiver Terrance Williams helped NY come away with a somewhat surprising one-point win (watch here).
One game and it seems that the Dallas Cowboys are already panicking.
And then, time ran out on the Cowboys. “And I thought Zeke did a good job of running hard when the runs were dirty, to stick it up in there and get what he could get”. But look a little closer and it’s not something to get too excited about.
From being handed a road game against a heated division rival to taking that game into the tense, final minutes of the fourth quarter, Ben McAdoo didn’t have it easy Sunday in Dallas.
What they’re sayingDRC ” I was telling myself that I can’t let him get out of bounds. The Giants were running the ball at will all afternoon and could have easily made the one yard.
While Dez Bryant was back healthy, he managed just one reception for eight yards on five targets. The answer to the second question is that after watching Bailey make field goals of 54 and a career-long 56 yards earlier in the game, the Giants have to be glad they didn’t need to find out. “I think if he has that – regardless of two catches or not – he has that touchdown, I don’t know if we’re still talking about this”, said Prescott.
And it was Dallas’s clock management error that allowed Big Blue to be victorious, when Terrance Williams made a decision to run up the field instead of out of bounds, letting the clock expire.

“Getting up I was like, [bleep] – sorry for saying that – it hit me, I should have just went out of bounds and lived to the next play”, Williams said.
