Late Touchdown decided the game:

CeeDee Lamb, wide receiver for the Cowboys, had a 1-yard reception from QB Cooper Rush in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter to score just the second touchdown of the game for the team. Both teams did not score a TD until the third quarter. Apart from Lamb, running back Ezekiel Elliot also had a touchdown. Lam ended the game with 8 catches for 87 yards and a TD. Lamb was trolled for dropping a catch and then laughing earlier on in the game and with his play in the fourth quarter, he definitely redeemed himself.

Barkley has a good game:

One of the shining takeaways from this game for the Giants was their running game, as much as three of their receivers had more than 40 receiving yards in the game while their star running back for the game was Saquon Barkley. Barkley scored the lone TD of the game for the team. He ended the game with 14 carries for 81 yards and a Td in the game.

Cooper Rush performs well in absence of Dak Prescott:

Cooper Rush made his second consecutive start of the season for the Cowboys at the QB position. Since regular QB Dak Prescott is injured, Rush has taken over the spot. In this game also he performed up to the expectations from the Cowboys Nation, ending the game with a touchdown and completing 21 out of his 31 passes for 215 yards. Rush is yet to throw an interception for the team which is a great sign for the team competing to stay competitive until Prescott returns.
