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.

Prescott vs Wilson Quarterback Duel Delivers

Game-Changing Sequence:
Prescott TD to Pickens: 52 seconds left (Cowboys 34-31)

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.
