The New York Giants suffered a controversial loss to the Dallas Cowboys, 15-20, marred by significant officiating errors. A pivotal moment occurred when Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger was incorrectly flagged for a facemask penalty, which should have been called on Cowboys defender DeMarvion Overshown, resulting in a 15-yard setback for the Giants. This miscall hindered a promising drive, forcing the Giants to settle for a field goal instead of a potential touchdown. Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was a standout performer with 115 receiving yards before being concussed late in the game. The officiating inconsistencies drew widespread criticism from fans and analysts, further fueled by another missed call that allowed a Dallas touchdown to stand. Despite the Giants' offensive efforts, including 281 passing yards from quarterback Daniel Jones, the game ended in disappointment for New York.
