Giants Lose 40-37 OT Cowboys Despite Wilson 450 Yards

The New York Giants suffered a 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, marking their ninth straight defeat against this rival despite quarterback Russell Wilson's impressive performance. Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns, becoming just the fifth player in franchise history to reach such passing yardage in a game, and delivered a critical 48-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to Malik Nabers that briefly put the Giants ahead. However, his late-game mistakes in overtime—including a backward pass fumble and an interception—allowed the Cowboys to secure the game-winning field goal, overshadowing his strong overall play. Giants head coach Brian Daboll has reaffirmed Wilson as the starting quarterback despite a poor Week 1 debut and the presence of rookie Jaxson Dart, who remains ready to step in when called upon. While Wilson showed significant improvement from Week 1, his late-game errors continue to raise questions about his consistency and the Giants' ability to close out games. The team will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3, with Wilson expected to start amid ongoing scrutiny of his performance.
