Cowboys torment Drew Lock, beat Giants for first home win of the season – Jason Owens, Yahoo! Sports

The Cowboys defense gave Giants’ QB Drew Lock a very hard time on Thursday.

The Cowboys sacked Lock six times. They forced one interception and a forced fumble. Lock finished the day completing 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no passing touchdowns and the pick-6.

On offense, the Cowboys controlled the game on the ground and got 112 yards and a touchdown from Dowdle. Rush completed 21 of 36 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers.

The win does little to improve the Cowboys’ long-shot hope of making the playoffs as they play the stretch run without injured starting quarterback Dak Prescott. But it was certainly better than the alternative, which would have been another embarrassing loss at home on Thanksgiving stage.

The Giants’ season goes from bad to worse with the loss. Lock is New York’s third quarterback to start this season after the benching and release of Daniel Jones. Tommy DeVito started last week in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .

Rico Dowdle finally broke the 100-yard rushing mark on Thanksgiving.

Before today’s Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup, the Dallas Cowboys had not had a 100-yard rusher since November 13, 2022 when running back Tony Pollard rushed for 115 yards against the Green Bay Packers .

All of that changed today thanks to running back Rico Dowdle, who earned today’s Thanksgiving Player of the Game after a 100-yard rushing performance that helped the Cowboys defeat the New York Giants 27-20.

The veteran running back had 22 carries for 112 yards, scoring his first touchdown of the season and averaging 5.1 yards per carry, helping Dallas improve to 3-0 all-time against the Giants on Thanksgiving.
