How the Giants broke Cowboys in the fourth quarter: They were ready to go home

By the end, it was clear to the Giants that they were putting the Cowboys on the ropes.At the end of the day, Big Blue wasn’t “tired” as right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said.

Dallas sure was.“At the end of the fourth quarter, they had to huddle up.When you see a team huddle up, that’s when you know you are breaking them,” Eluemunor said following the Giants’ 28-20 win over the Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” at MetLife Stadium.

“I can’t tell you how many times they rotated their D-line.They just broke in the fourth quarter.” “We could’ve played another two or three quarters,” he added.

“They were ready to go home.”The Giants left little hope for Dallas in the fourth quarter.After the Giants scored their fourth touchdown, the Cowboys scored a touchdown across nine plays for 74 yards across just 2:05 minutes.Of course they wanted the ball back as they trailed by a touchdown and a two-point conversion to tie the game, but Big Blue didn’t allow for such a thing.The Giants closed out the final frame on offense by holding on to the ball for the final 5:21, putting together 12 plays for 47 yards.The offense greatly impressed, going 9 of 10 on third down and putting together a balanced attack of 230 passing yards and 165 rushing yards.

Dart (23-for-29, 230 yards, 3 TDs) rose to the occasion and was strong in his decision making under center.The Giants held possession for nearly 37 minutes while Dallas had the ball for 23:20.Dak Prescott was also kept in check throughout the game.Sign up for Inside the Giants by Paul Schwartz, a weekly Sports+ exclusive.
