4. The Giants' defense struggled to stop the run, forcing only two runs that went for zero or no yards. Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott ran 28 times for 178 yards and a touchdown. Dallas had two runs of 25 yards or more. Leonard Williams' presence was sorely missed as PFF tracked Elliott and Pollard as forcing five missed tackles each and gaining 117 yards after contact. Dexter Lawrence played 81% of the defensive snaps. Three of the Giants' four leading tacklers were Julian Love, Adoree' Jackson and Xavier McKinney.
The Cowboys' ability to run the ball got them into seven third downs of four yards or less, converting four of them. The Cowboys also converted a 4th-and-4. On third downs of 7+ yards, the Cowboys converted only one of six attempts - Elliott's 27-yard run on 3rd-and-12, when Dallas caught the Giants in an interior blitz with a smaller lineup.
5. The Giants' pass rush did not sack Cooper Rush and they only had two quarterback hits (Dexter Lawrence and Oshane Ximines). PFF tracked the Giants with seven pressures. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Henry Mondeaux, Oshane Ximines, Julian Love and Micah McFadden each had a hurry, according to PFF.
Coming off their injuries, Kayvon Thibodeaux played 37 of the team's 64 defensive snaps, while Ojulari had 30 and forced a holding penalty on one of his pass rushes.
Without a consistent pass rush, the Cowboys were able to complete two passes of 20+ yards, and six passes of 15+ yards. Only one of those passes traveled 20 or more yards in the air. Of note, Ceedee Lamb dropped a deep cross that could have turned into a long touchdown.
Quick hitters
* It is no coincidence the Giants' lone touchdown came on a drive where the offense not only had its longest play (Barkley's 36-yard TD run), but also two 14-yard plays on a Jones scramble and a pass to David Sills. The Giants had three plays go for 20+ yards, but none came on passes that traveled 20 or more in the air.
* The Giants did not rotate at left guard on Monday night, playing Ben Bredeson all 72 snaps.
* Sterling Shepard led the team with 58 receiver snaps as we await word on the injury. Richie James had the second most with 53, while David Sills came in with 45. Kenny Golladay played 24.
* Micah McFadden played 30 snaps, while Austin Calitro was on the field for 13 snaps at inside linebacker.
* Adoree' Jackson played all but two of the Giants' defensive snaps, while Darnay Holmes (35 snaps), Cordale Flott (19), and Fabian Moureau (39) split the other cornerback reps. After being a big part of the game plan in Week 2, Dane Belton played only 11 snaps as the team's third safety.
