New York Giants come back to defeat Dallas Cowboys for fifth straight win, 18-13

New York Giants extended their win streak to five games with a come-from-behind win over Dallas Cowboys, staging an impressive comeback for an 18-13 victory. New York Giants trailed 13-8 heading into Monday night, but the team charged back behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (7 points) and Graham Gano (4). Greg Zuerlein (3-3 FG, 48 long) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (19 Pts Allowed, 370 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) carried the flag for Dallas Cowboys in defeat. New York Giants (7-3-1) will look to earn another W against GB Packers (JP), while Dallas Cowboys (6-5) will attempt to get back in the win column against Cincinnati Bengals.

Coach Talk

New York Giants
Listen, New York Giants, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes true moxie to deploy a starter with negative points (plus multiple zero-point players) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Dallas Cowboys
Yo, Dallas Cowboys, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 14 targets as a group in Week 11, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) obviously got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
