The Dallas Cowboys found themselves facing a virtual must-win in their Week 7 contest with the New York Giants. After losing three straight games going into their bye week, they came into Sunday’s game looking to reverse the trend and get back on the winning track against a division opponent.
The Cowboys dominated time of possession, racked up 460 total yards of offense and ran the ball for 233 yards. But three interceptions from quarterback Matt Cassel, including one returned for a touchdown, and a kickoff returned 100 yards for a touchdown by former Cowboy Dwayne Harris would waste an otherwise quality performance.
The Cowboys defense sacked Eli Manning twice and gave up only 13 points, but it was unable to generate a takeaway that could have turned the game in Dallas' favor. With under two minutes left in the game, the defense forced a three-and-out to give the offense a chance to drive down the field and tie the game.
On the ensuing punt, Cole Beasley missed the catch, and the ball bounced right into the waiting arms of Giants reserve wide receiver Myles White, who recovered it to ice the game and send the Cowboys to a 2-4 record and last place in the NFC East.
