Aubrey's Heroics Seal Wild Cowboys Victory

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants 40-37 in a spectacular overtime thriller at AT&T Stadium, with kicker Brandon Aubrey delivering both a regulation-saving 64-yard field goal and the game-winning 46-yard kick as time expired in overtime.

The victory extended Dallas's winning streak over their NFC East rivals to nine games - the longest active divisional streak in the NFL.

Russell Wilson Stars Despite Giants Loss

Giants quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the losing effort, including a 48-yard touchdown pass to Malik Nabers with just 25 seconds remaining in regulation for a 37-34 lead.

Russell Wilson's Stats:

  • Passing Yards: 450 yards

  • Touchdowns: 3 passing TDs

  • Key Play: 48-yard TD to Malik Nabers (25 seconds left)

  • Fatal Error: OT interception by Donovan Wilson

Prescott vs Wilson Quarterback Duel Delivers

The game featured five lead changes in the final 12 minutes of regulation, with both Dak Prescott and Wilson trading touchdown passes. Prescott threw a 6-yard touchdown to George Pickens with 52 seconds left before Wilson answered with his strike to Nabers.

Game-Changing Sequence:

  • Prescott TD to Pickens: 52 seconds left (Cowboys 34-31)

  • Wilson TD to Nabers: 25 seconds left (Giants 37-34)

  • Aubrey 64-yard FG: Final play of regulation (37-37)

  • Wilson interception: 2 minutes left in OT

  • Aubrey game-winner: Final play of OT

Overtime Drama Decides Thriller

After a scoreless start to overtime, the Giants appeared positioned to win when Wilson's ill-advised deep pass under pressure was intercepted by Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson at the Dallas 30-yard line with two minutes remaining.

Prescott then scrambled 14 yards to set up Aubrey's chip-shot field goal, capping one of the most dramatic games of the 2025 NFL season.

Historic Winning Streak Continues

The victory marked Prescott's 14th consecutive win against the Giants, a streak that dates back to his rookie season losses in 2016. Dallas has now dominated this NFC East rivalry with nine straight victories over New York.
