Cowboys–Giants rivalry

The Cowboys–Giants rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. The beginning of this rivalry is difficult to trace, but is perhaps best defined by the first game the two teams ever played back in 1960, which resulted in a 31–31 tie. In the early 1960s the New York Giants were beginning to wind down as an NFL powerhouse. After having been arguably the most dominant team in the Eastern Conference through the 1950s and early 1960s the Giants entered a period of poor play where they did not make the playoffs from 1964 to 1980. While the Giants dominated the Cowboys in the first few years of the rivalry, the Cowboys picked up steam and took control from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s, winning 17 of the 20 meetings between the two teams in the 1970s. In the 1980s however the Giants struck back, and the rivalry has been relatively even handed ever since with intermittent spurts of dominance (the Giants in the late 1980s and the Cowboys in the early 1990s). The rivalry would also swing in favor of the Giants during the 2000s and early 2010s.[3][4] Recent history has swung back in favor of the Cowboys, as they have beaten the Giants eleven out of the last twelve matchups since 2017.[5] This is a unique rivalry in American sports in that no other Texas area team is in the same division as a New York area team, or has a consistent rivalry with one most likely due to the relatively far geographical distance between the two regions (though during the 1960s, the New York Jets were division rivals with the Houston Oilers in the American Football League Eastern Division; additionally, Astros/Yankees in MLB have built a rivalry in recent years).

Another important facet of this rivalry is Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry. Landry was one of the most fateful figures in the history of both franchises. Drafted by the Giants in 1947, it would be three more years before he actually played with them. He played multiple roles – defensive back, halfback, and quarterback – and in those roles he recorded one rushing touchdown, one passing touchdown, two touchdowns off fumble recoveries, and three touchdowns off INTs. He made one Pro Bowl as a player, in 1954, the same season he joined the Giants' coaching staff. After he retired as a player at the end of the 1955 season, he became the Giants' defensive coordinator inventing the 4-3 Defense, serving in that role through 1959. In 1960, he became head coach of the first-year Cowboys and in his 29 seasons went 35–16–2 against the Giants.[6] According to The Last Cowboy: A Life of Tom Landry, by Long Island author Mark Ribowsky, Tom Landry's widow, Alicia, claims that after the way the Jones family treated her husband when they purchased the team, that the long-time coach no longer followed the team and went back to being a fan of the Giants until his death in 2000.[7]

Notable rivalry moments edit

1960s edit

  • Cowboys 31, Giants 31 (December 4, 1960) – The first meeting between the Cowboys and Giants occurred in 1960 at Yankee Stadium. The game ended in a 31–31 tie. Eddie LeBaron threw three touchdowns for Dallas including two in the fourth quarter, while George Shaw and Lee Grosscup combined for three touchdown throws for the Giants. L. G. Dupree ran for a Dallas touchdown and caught two scores. This was the first game in franchise history in which the Cowboys did not lose, as they opened their inaugural season with ten straight losses.

1970s edit

  • Cowboys 20, Giants 13 (October 11, 1971) – The Cowboys defeated the Giants 20–13 in the first Monday Night Football meeting between the teams and the last NFL game at the Cotton Bowl.

1980s edit

  • Giants 13, Cowboys 10 (OT) (December 19, 1981) – The Giants defeated the Cowboys 13–10 in overtime on a frigid Saturday afternoon in Giants Stadium to clinch the Giants' first playoff berth in 17 seasons. Joe Danelo kicked the winning field goal in overtime after missing a potential game-winner earlier in the extra period.

1990s edit

  • Cowboys 16, Giants 13 (OT) (January 2, 1994) – In the final game of the 1993 season, with both teams at 11–4 and competing for the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs, Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith suffered a separated right shoulder in the first half, but continued to play in obvious pain, amassing 168 rushing yards, including 41 on the game-winning drive, as Dallas won 16–13 in overtime. Smith also locked up the NFL rushing title with his tough, gritty performance. After the game, sportscaster John Madden paid a visit to Smith in the locker room to congratulate him, the only time Madden (as an announcer) would pay such a visit to a player, later writing "[It] was one of the toughest efforts I've ever seen by any football player in any game."[8] The loss meant the Giants were the #4 seed, while the win earned the Cowboys the #1 seed (and a bye in the playoffs), giving Smith time to heal, and he would go on to lead the Cowboys to victory over the Buffalo Bills as the MVP of Super Bowl XXVIII. Meanwhile, the Giants would defeat the Minnesota Vikings 17–10 in the wild-card round before falling to the San Francisco 49ers the following week.
  • Cowboys 38, Giants 10 (November 7, 1994) – The 7–1 Cowboys hosted the 3–5 Giants as two-time defending Super Bowl champions. After a scoreless first quarter, a touchdown pass from Troy Aikman to Alvin Harper and a one-yard Emmitt Smith rushing score left the Cowboys up 14–3. On the final play of the first half, Aikman launched a long pass to Harper in the end zone; Harper was hit in mid-air by Giants safety Tito Wooten and suffered a sprained left knee. Cowboys receivers coach Hubbard Alexander then attacked Jarvis Williams of the Giants and Michael Irvin punched Williams with a helmet. As the brawl escalated, Cowboys safety James Washington grabbed a camera and monopod from a local photographer and brandished it like a sword, yelling for Giants players to take him on. Irvin was fined $12,000 and Washington $10,000 by the league. When order was finally restored, the Cowboys defeated the Giants 38–10.
  • Giants 13, Cowboys 10 (October 18, 1999) – The Giants offense was stagnant most of the evening, but two missed Dallas field goals and a red zone interception by safety Sam Garnes kept the score low, while Emmitt Smith was held to just 26 yards rushing on 22 carries. The game was tied 3–3 in the fourth quarter before Tiki Barber returned a Toby Gowin punt 85 yards for a touchdown. With two minutes left, Smith tied the game with a two-yard touchdown run; but on the ensuing drive, quarterback Kent Graham found Barber out of the backfield for a 56-yard catch-and-run all the way down to the three-yard line. A 21-yard field goal by Brad Daluiso gave the Giants the lead with one second remaining. The final kickoff saw Deion Sanders scrambling to the 25-yard line before pitching the ball to Kevin Mathis, who dashed all the way to New York's 20 before lateraling to Singor Mobley, who raced all the way to the endzone. However, Sanders was flagged for an illegal forward pass, ending the game in a Giants win. Barber finished with 233 all-purpose yards, as the Giants defeated the Cowboys for the first time on Monday Night Football after losing the first seven meetings.

2000s edit

  • Cowboys 35, Giants 32 (September 15, 2003) – In 2003, the teams met at Giants Stadium on Monday Night Football. The game marked former Giants head coach Bill Parcells' first visit to Giants Stadium as head coach of the Cowboys. The Cowboys led 29–14 after three quarters, but they lost the lead over the last 15 minutes, and found themselves down 32–29 with 11 seconds to play. The Giants simply needed to kick off and play a "prevent" defense for 1 or 2 plays, but the kickoff went out of bounds, putting the Cowboys at their own 40 with no time elapsed, and Quincy Carter completed a deep pass to Antonio Bryant, who went out of bounds at the New York 34 to stop the clock with four seconds left. Billy Cundiff then converted a 52-yard field goal as time expired to send the game to overtime, and kicked a 25-yard field goal in the extra session to win the game for the Cowboys. Cundiff tied an NFL record with seven field goals in the game 35–32.
  • Giants 21, Cowboys 17 (January 13, 2008) – In 2007, the Cowboys swept the Giants in the regular season, winning the NFC East with a record of 13–3 and No. 1 Seed in the NFC. However, in the division round of the playoffs, the 5-seed Giants (10–6) went into Texas Stadium and stunned the top-seeded Cowboys 21–17 en route to winning Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots.
  • Cowboys 20, Giants 8 (December 14, 2008) – Amid several weeks of off-field acrimony involving Terrell Owens, Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Marion Barber, and owner Jerry Jones, the Cowboys shut down the Giants in New York's final trip to Texas Stadium (and first since the 2007 playoffs), 20–8. Owens and Witten combined for eight catches for 82 yards while Patrick Crayton and Deon Anderson had two receiving scores. Romo completed 20 of 30 throws for 244 yards despite being sacked four times (once for a Giants safety) and injuring his back in the process. The Cowboys sacked Giants quarterback Eli Manning eight times and limited him to only 191 passing yards and two interceptions snatched by Terence Newman.
  • Giants 33, Cowboys 31 (September 20, 2009) – Lawrence Tynes made a 37-yard field goal as the game clock expired to give the Giants a 33–31 victory over the Cowboys and spoil the opening of the new Cowboys Stadium, with a crowd of a record-breaking 105,121 people. After the game, Giants quarterback Eli Manning signed the wall of the visiting locker room, and wrote "'33–31' First win in the new stadium" next to his name.

2010s edit

  • Giants 41, Cowboys 35 (October 25, 2010) – the Giants defeated the Cowboys in Cowboys Stadium 41–35, leaving the Cowboys at a disappointing 1–5 for the year. This contest is notable for the Giants linebacker Michael Boley driving Tony Romo to the turf and causing Romo to break his left clavicle and most likely ending the Cowboys chances at a playoff run.[8]
  • Cowboys 33, Giants 20 (November 14, 2010) – Jason Garrett made his head coaching debut for the Cowboys in the 2010 rematch against the Giants on November 14. The Cowboys raced to a 19–3 lead and won 33–20, intercepting Eli Manning twice (Bryan McCann picked off Manning in the end zone and scored from 101 yards out) while Jon Kitna had three touchdowns.
  • Giants 37, Cowboys 34 (December 11, 2011) – During the teams' first meeting of the season, with the NFC East lead on the line, the Cowboys led the Giants 34–22 with 5:41 left to play. Eli Manning led the Giants to a comeback by scoring 15 points, and the Giants' Jason Pierre-Paul blocked Dallas kicker Dan Bailey's game-tying field goal with 6 seconds remaining. The Giants took a knee with 1 second left, and won the game 37–34. This game was selected as #2 on Top 20 NFL Games of 2011.[9]
  • Giants 31, Cowboys 14 (January 1, 2012) – The Giants hosted the Cowboys in what amounted to a de facto NFC East championship game. Both teams entered the game with identical 8–7 records and a share of the lead of the NFC East. With the division title and a playoff berth on the line the game was flexed to the 8:30 pm Sunday Night Football slot. While the Giants took a 21–0 halftime lead, Tony Romo brought the Cowboys back, making the score 21–14 early in the 4th quarter. The Giants would hold on however, winning 31–14 and earning their first NFC East Division title and playoff berth since 2008 while knocking the Cowboys out of the playoffs. The Giants eventually won Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots.
  • Giants 29, Cowboys 24 (October 28, 2012) – The Cowboys and the Giants played for a second time in the 2012 season at Dallas. The Giants looked to avenge themselves after losing the season opening game to the Cowboys at home. The Giants took an astounding 23–0 lead in the 2nd quarter partly because of three Tony Romo interceptions. The Cowboys rallied up to make the game 23–10 before halftime. The Cowboys, took the third quarter 14–0 to take a 24–23 lead. Eli Manning led two successful drives for New York both resulting in a field goal regaining a 29–24 lead. The Cowboys had less than four minutes to score a touchdown and take the lead. On fourth down, in the Giants territory, Tony Romo was pressured and forced to throw yet another interception. The Cowboys used all three remaining timeouts during that Giants' possession and forced the Giants to punt and got the ball back with under a minute remaining. Tony Romo threw a pass into the end zone with ten seconds left to Dez Bryant and the play was ruled a touchdown. The play was reviewed and the officials noticed that the first part of the receiver to touch the ground was his hand, which was partially out of bounds. The call was reversed and the play was ruled an incomplete pass. The Cowboys failed to score a touchdown and the Giants held on to win 29–24.
  • Cowboys 31, Giants 28 (November 23, 2014) – In the second meeting during the 2014 season, Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns, including a one-handed touchdown reception hailed as the "catch of the year", with Cris Collinsworth, Tony Dungy, and Victor Cruz all saying that it was one of the best catches ever. Beckham made this catch despite a pass interference penalty called on Dallas's Brandon Carr while diving backwards with full extension of his right hand using only three fingers.[10][11] On December 8, 2014, the Pro Football Hall of Fame put Beckham's game-worn jersey from his famous one-handed catch game vs. Dallas on display. While that score made it 14–3 in favor of the Giants, the Cowboys rallied back, winning the game on Romo's 13-yard touchdown pass to Bryant with 1:01 to go in the fourth quarter to secure a come-from-behind 31–28 win and complete a season sweep of the series.
  • Giants 10, Cowboys 7 (December 11, 2016) – The Giants and Cowboys met again at MetLife Stadium in Week 14 of the 2016 season in a showdown on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys were riding 11–1 while the Giants were just coming off a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys were the favorite to win, but the Giants only allowed one touchdown to the Cowboys as the Giants won again 10–7 sweeping the Cowboys for the first time since 2011.
  • Cowboys 37, Giants 18 (November 4, 2019) – During the team's second meeting of the 2019 season on Monday Night Football, a black cat ran onto the field at MetLife Stadium with the Giants leading 9–3 and delayed the game for two minutes until it left. Afterward, the Cowboys went on to beat the Giants for a 37–18 win.[12] The incident led to social media memes and videos spoofing the cat as an NFL player, some of which used Kevin Harlan’s bemused radio call of the cat running into the end zone.

2020s edit

  • Giants 23, Cowboys 19 (January 3, 2021) – The Giants held off a late Cowboys rally to win 23–19; with the entire NFC East slumping to a possible three-way division tie at 6–10. The Giants win would allow them to clinch the NFC East if the Washington Football Team lost their game to the Philadelphia Eagles later that night. However, Washington won its game and clinched the division title.
  • 2021 NFL Draft Day Trade (April 29, 2021) – During the 2021 NFL draft, in a rare collaborative move, the Eagles traded a third round pick and their 12th overall pick for Dallas's 10th overall pick. The purpose of this trade for the Eagles was to select Heisman Trophy winning wide receiver DeVonta Smith ahead of fellow divisional rivals, the New York Giants, who were sitting in the 11th spot. This move reportedly made the Giants front office "livid".[13]
  • Cowboys 44, Giants 20 (October 10, 2021) – The Cowboys decimated the Giants 44–20 in a grossly one-sided game. Early in the game, starting New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was badly concussed and left the game after getting hit in the head by Dallas rookie linebacker, Jabril Cox. Later in the game, during a massive scuffle between the two teams, 1st Round rookie Kadarius Toney, threw a punch at Dallas safety Damontae Kazee and was immediately ejected. In the days that followed, Giants tight end Evan Engram claimed Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse "sucker punched" him by stating, "I walked up on him. He walked up on me kinda, saying some stuff. He threw the punch. We had some guys there that separated us, so it was kind of boom, boom. He stole one off..." Engram also stated, "It was a little baby punch anyway. It was soft".[14] Jayron Kearse later denied the claim on Twitter, "Boy said I punched him lol. He’s nuts".[15] Fox executives deferred to the NFL when asked to supply video of the incident. A league spokesman said that NFL Films employees checked and that there is no video of the incident in question.[14]
  • Cowboys 23, Giants 16 (September 26, 2022) – Subbing for injured starter Dak Prescott, former Giants backup quarterback Cooper Rush led the team to victory. After cornerback Trevon Diggs came away with a game-sealing interception late in the fourth quarter, Dallas’ offense marched onto the field with 1:14 remaining on the clock to kneel out the rest of the game. Instead of getting a head start on the post-game handshakes, however, players from both teams started jawing back and forth until a full-on skirmish broke out on the field.[16]
  • Cowboys 40, Giants 0 (September 10, 2023) – In a rain-soaked game played during Week 1 at the Meadowlands, a dominant Cowboys defense shut out the New York Giants and scored two touchdowns from the result of a blocked kick return and an interception return. The Cowboys sacked Daniel Jones seven times, which was the most sacks in a season opener by a Dallas defense since it had nine in 1994.[17] This marked the third shutout loss for the Giants, as well as the highest shutout loss they had sustained (their previous highest shutout loss was 35-0 Dallas in 1995). No team in NFL history had lost a game by 40 or more points, lost a sack battle by 7 or more, lost a turnover battle by 3–0 or more, had a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown, and thrown a pick-6; all in one season. The Cowboys did it all to the Giants on the same night.[18]

The Cowboys Giants rivalry is a National Football League NFL rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants The beginning of this rivalry is difficult to trace but is perhaps best defined by the first game the two teams ever played back in 1960 which resulted in a 31 31 tie In the early 1960s the New York Giants were beginning to wind down as an NFL powerhouse After having been arguably the most dominant team in the Eastern Conference through the 1950s and early 1960s the Giants entered a period of poor play where they did not make the playoffs from 1964 to 1980 While the Giants dominated the Cowboys in the first few years of the rivalry the Cowboys picked up steam and took control from the mid 1960s to the early 1980s winning 17 of the 20 meetings between the two teams in the 1970s In the 1980s however the Giants struck back and the rivalry has been relatively even handed ever since with intermittent spurts of dominance the Giants in the late 1980s and the Cowboys in the early 1990s The rivalry would also swing in favor of the Giants during the 2000s and early 2010s 3 4 Recent history has swung back in favor of the Cowboys as they have beaten the Giants eleven out of the last twelve matchups since 2017 5 This is a unique rivalry in American sports in that no other Texas area team is in the same division as a New York area team or has a consistent rivalry with one most likely due to the relatively far geographical distance between the two regions though during the 1960s the New York Jets were division rivals with the Houston Oilers in the American Football League Eastern Division additionally Astros Yankees in MLB have built a rivalry in recent years Dallas Cowboys New York GiantsDallas CowboysNew York GiantsFirst meetingDecember 4 1960Giants 31 Cowboys

Locations of the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants Another important facet of this rivalry is Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry Landry was one of the most fateful figures in the history of both franchises Drafted by the Giants in 1947 it would be three more years before he actually played with them He played multiple roles defensive back halfback and quarterback and in those roles he recorded one rushing touchdown one passing touchdown two touchdowns off fumble recoveries and three touchdowns off INTs He made one Pro Bowl as a player in 1954 the same season he joined the Giants coaching staff After he retired as a player at the end of the 1955 season he became the Giants defensive coordinator inventing the 4 3 Defense serving in that role through 1959 In 1960 he became head coach of the first year Cowboys and in his 29 seasons went 35 16 2 against the Giants 6 According to The Last Cowboy A Life of Tom Landry by Long Island author Mark Ribowsky Tom Landry s widow Alicia claims that after the way the Jones family treated her husband when they purchased the team that the long time coach no longer followed the team and went back to being a fan of the Giants until his death in 2000 7 Contents 1 Notable rivalry moments 1 1 1960s 1 2 1970s 1 3 1980s 1 4 1990s 1 5 2000s 1 6 2010s 1 7 2020s 2 Game results 3 ReferencesNotable rivalry moments edit1960s edit Cowboys 31

Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith suffered a separated right shoulder in the first half but continued to play in obvious pain amassing 168 rushing yards including 41 on the game winning drive as Dallas won 16 13 in overtime Smith also locked up the NFL rushing title with his tough gritty performance After the game sportscaster John Madden paid a visit to Smith in the locker room to congratulate him the only time Madden as an announcer would pay such a visit to a player later writing It was one of the toughest efforts I ve ever seen by any football player in any game 8 The loss meant the Giants were the 4 seed while the win earned the Cowboys the 1 seed and a bye in the playoffs giving Smith time to heal and he would go on to lead the Cowboys to victory over the Buffalo Bills as the MVP of Super Bowl XXVIII Meanwhile the Giants would defeat the Minnesota Vikings 17 10 in the wild card round before falling to the San Francisco 49ers the following week Cowboys 38 Giants 10 November 7 1994 The 7 1 Cowboys hosted the 3 5 Giants as two time defending Super Bowl champions After a scoreless first quarter a touchdown pass from Troy Aikman to Alvin Harper and a one yard Emmitt Smith rushing score left the Cowboys up 14 3 On the final play of the first half Aikman launched a long pass to Harper in the end zone Harper was hit in mid air by Giants safety Tito Wooten and suffered a sprained left knee Cowboys receivers coach Hubbard Alexander then attacked Jarvis Williams of the Giants and Michael Irvin punched Williams with a helmet As the brawl escalated Cowboys safety James Washington grabbed a camera and monopod from a local photographer and brandished it like a sword yelling for Giants players to take him on Irvin was fined 12 000 and Washington 10 000 by the league When order was finally restored the Cowboys defeated the Giants 38 10 Giants 13 Cowboys 10 October 18 1999 The Giants offense was stagnant most of the evening but two missed Dallas field goals and a red zone interception by safety Sam Garnes kept the score low while Emmitt Smith was held to just 26 yards rushing on 22 carries The game was tied 3 3 in the fourth quarter before Tiki Barber returned a Toby Gowin punt 85 yards for a touchdown With two minutes left Smith tied the game with a two yard touchdown run but on the ensuing drive quarterback Kent Graham found Barber out of the backfield for a 56 yard catch and run all the way down to the three yard line A 21 yard field goal by Brad Daluiso gave the Giants the lead with one second remaining The final kickoff saw Deion Sanders scrambling to the 25 yard line before pitching the ball to Kevin Mathis who dashed all the way to New York s 20 before lateraling to Singor Mobley who raced all the way to the endzone However Sanders was flagged for an illegal forward pass ending the game in a Giants win Barber finished with 233 all purpose yards as the Giants defeated the Cowboys for the first time on Monday Night Football after losing the first seven meetings 2000s edit Cowboys 35 Giants 32 September 15 2003 In 2003 the teams met at Giants Stadium on Monday Night Football The game marked former Giants head coach Bill Parcells first visit to Giants Stadium as head coach of the Cowboys The Cowboys led 29 14 after three quarters but they lost the lead over the last 15 minutes and found themselves down 32 29 with 11 seconds to play The Giants simply needed to kick off and play a prevent defense for 1 or 2 plays but the kickoff went out of bounds putting the Cowboys at their own 40 with no time elapsed and Quincy Carter completed a deep pass to Antonio Bryant who went out of bounds at the New York 34 to stop the clock with four seconds left Billy Cundiff then converted a 52 yard field goal as time expired to send the game to overtime and kicked a 25 yard field goal in the extra session to win the game for the Cowboys Cundiff tied an NFL record with seven field goals in the game 35 32 Giants 21 Cowboys 17 January 13 2008 In 2007 the Cowboys swept the Giants in the regular season winning the NFC East with a record of 13 3 and No 1 Seed in the NFC However in the division round of the playoffs the 5 seed Giants 10 6 went into Texas Stadium and stunned the top seeded Cowboys 21 17 en route to winning Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots Cowboys 20 Giants 8 December 14 2008 Amid several weeks of off field acrimony involving Terrell Owens Tony Romo Jason Witten Marion Barber and owner Jerry Jones the Cowboys shut down the Giants in New York s final trip to Texas Stadium and first since the 2007 playoffs 20 8 Owens and Witten combined for eight catches for 82 yards while Patrick Crayton and Deon Anderson had two receiving scores Romo completed 20 of 30 throws for 244 yards despite being sacked four times once for a Giants safety and injuring his back in the process The Cowboys sacked Giants quarterback Eli Manning eight times and limited him to only 191 passing yards and two interceptions snatched by Terence Newman Giants 33 Cowboys 31 September 20 2009 Lawrence Tynes made a 37 yard field goal as the game clock expired to give the Giants a 33 31 victory over the Cowboys and spoil the opening of the new Cowboys Stadium with a crowd of a record breaking 105 121 people After the game Giants quarterback Eli Manning signed the wall of the visiting locker room and wrote 33 31 First win in the new stadium next to his name 2010s edit Giants 41 Cowboys 35 October 25 2010 the Giants defeated the Cowboys in Cowboys Stadium 41 35 leaving the Cowboys at a disappointing 1 5 for the year This contest is notable for the Giants linebacker Michael Boley driving Tony Romo to the turf and causing Romo to break his left clavicle and most likely ending the Cowboys chances at a playoff run 8 Cowboys 33 Giants 20 November 14 2010 Jason Garrett made his head coaching debut for the Cowboys in the 2010 rematch against the Giants on November 14 The Cowboys raced to a 19 3 lead and won 33 20 intercepting Eli Manning twice Bryan McCann picked off Manning in the end zone and scored from 101 yards out while Jon Kitna had three touchdowns Giants 37 Cowboys

the game with identical 8 7 records and a share of the lead of the NFC East With the division title and a playoff berth on the line the game was flexed to the 8 30 pm Sunday Night Football slot While the Giants took a 21 0 halftime lead Tony Romo brought the Cowboys back making the score 21 14 early in the 4th quarter The Giants would hold on however winning 31 14 and earning their first NFC East Division title and playoff berth since 2008 while knocking the Cowboys out of the playoffs The Giants eventually won Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots Giants 29 Cowboys 24 October 28 2012 The Cowboys and the Giants played for a second time in the 2012 season at Dallas The Giants looked to avenge themselves after losing the season opening game to the Cowboys at home The Giants took an astounding 23 0 lead in the 2nd quarter partly because of three Tony Romo interceptions The Cowboys rallied up to make the game 23 10 before halftime The Cowboys took the third quarter 14 0 to take a 24 23 lead Eli Manning led two successful drives for New York both resulting in a field goal regaining a 29 24 lead The Cowboys had less than four minutes to score a touchdown and take the lead On fourth down in the Giants territory Tony Romo was pressured and forced to throw yet another interception The Cowboys used all three remaining timeouts during that Giants possession and forced the Giants to punt and got the ball back with under a minute remaining Tony Romo threw a pass into the end zone with ten seconds left to Dez Bryant and the play was ruled a touchdown The play was reviewed and the officials noticed that the first part of the receiver to touch the ground was his hand which was partially out of bounds The call was reversed and the play was ruled an incomplete pass The Cowboys failed to score a touchdown and the Giants held on to win 29 24 Cowboys 31 Giants 28 November 23 2014 In the second meeting during the 2014 season Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr had 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns including a one handed touchdown reception hailed as the catch of the year with Cris Collinsworth Tony Dungy and Victor Cruz all saying that it was one of the best catches ever Beckham made this catch despite a pass interference penalty called on Dallas s Brandon Carr while diving backwards with full extension of his right hand using only three fingers 10 11 On December 8 2014 the Pro Football Hall of Fame put Beckham s game worn jersey from his famous one handed catch game vs Dallas on display While that score made it 14 3 in favor of the Giants the Cowboys rallied back winning the game on Romo s 13 yard touchdown pass to Bryant with 1 01 to go in the fourth quarter to secure a come from behind 31 28 win and complete a season sweep of the series Giants 10 Cowboys 7 December 11 2016 The Giants and Cowboys met again at MetLife Stadium in Week 14 of the 2016 season in a showdown on Sunday Night Football The Cowboys were riding 11 1 while the Giants were just coming off a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers The Cowboys were the favorite to win but the Giants only allowed one touchdown to the Cowboys as the Giants won again 10 7 sweeping the Cowboys for the first time since 2011 Cowboys 37 Giants 18 November 4 2019 During the team s second meeting of the 2019 season on Monday Night Football a black cat ran onto the field at MetLife Stadium with the Giants leading 9 3 and delayed the game for two minutes until it left Afterward the Cowboys went on to beat the Giants for a 37 18 win 12 The incident led to social media memes and videos spoofing the cat as an NFL player some of which used Kevin Harlan s bemused radio call of the cat running into the end zone 2020s edit Giants 23 Cowboys 19 January 3 2021 The Giants held off a late Cowboys rally to win 23 19 with the entire NFC East slumping to a possible three way division tie at 6 10 The Giants win would allow them to clinch the NFC East if the Washington Football Team lost their game to the Philadelphia Eagles later that night However Washington won its game and clinched the division title 2021 NFL Draft Day Trade April 29 2021 During the 2021 NFL draft in a rare collaborative move the Eagles traded a third round pick and their 12th overall pick for Dallas s 10th overall pick The purpose of this trade for the Eagles was to select Heisman Trophy winning wide receiver DeVonta Smith ahead of fellow divisional rivals the New York Giants who were sitting in the 11th spot This move reportedly made the Giants front office livid 13 Cowboys 44 Giants 20 October 10 2021 The Cowboys decimated the Giants 44 20 in a grossly one sided game Early in the game starting New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was badly concussed and left the game after getting hit in the head by Dallas rookie linebacker Jabril Cox Later in the game during a massive scuffle between the two teams 1st Round rookie Kadarius Toney threw a punch at Dallas safety Damontae Kazee and was immediately ejected In the days that followed Giants tight end Evan Engram claimed Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse sucker punched him by stating I walked up on him He walked up on me kinda saying some stuff He threw the punch We had some guys there that separated us so it was kind of boom boom He stole one off Engram also stated It was a little baby punch anyway It was soft 14 Jayron Kearse later denied the claim on Twitter Boy said I punched him lol He s nuts 15 Fox executives deferred to the NFL when asked to supply video of the incident A league spokesman said that NFL Films employees checked and that there is no video of the incident in question 14 Cowboys 23 Giants 16 September 26 2022 Subbing for injured starter Dak Prescott former Giants backup quarterback Cooper Rush led the team to victory After cornerback Trevon Diggs came away with a game sealing interception late in the fourth quarter Dallas offense marched onto the field with 1 14 remaining on the clock to kneel out the rest of the game Instead of getting a head start on the post game handshakes however players from both teams started jawing back and forth until a full on skirmish broke out on the field 16 Cowboys 40 Giants 0 September 10 2023 In a rain soaked game played during Week 1 at the Meadowlands a dominant Cowboys defense shut out the New York Giants and scored two touchdowns from the result of a blocked kick return and an interception return The Cowboys sacked Daniel Jones seven times which was the most sacks in a season opener by a Dallas defense since it had nine in 1994 17 This marked the third shutout loss for the Giants as well as the highest shutout loss they had sustained their previous highest shutout loss was 35 0 Dallas in 1995 No team in NFL history had lost a game by 40 or more points lost a sack battle by 7 or more lost a turnover battle by 3 0 or more had a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown and thrown a pick 6 all in one season The Cowboys did it all to
