Cowboys Edge Giants 20-15 in Gritty Win Despite Micah Parsons Injury

On Thursday night, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants by a slim margin of 20-15. Despite suffering crucial defensive players' injuries, they secured the victory.

‍

Micah Parsons, a linebacker for the Cowboys, got a lower leg injury and had to leave the game in the fourth quarter. This was a big blow to the Cowboy teams' defense. Parsons exited the field with his left shoe removed after spending some time in the medical tent provided by the organization. Even though the results of the X-rays were negative, Parsons was observed limping around in the locker room, as the Dallas Morning News reported. As a result of his injury, DeMarcus Lawrence also left the game, which severely diminished Dallas' defensive capabilities.

‍

Dallas prevailed despite injuries and overall lackluster performance during the game. The Cowboys have assessed eleven penalties totaling 89 yards, while their offense struggled on third down, converting only three out of ten attempts. Once again, the rushing game could not advance more than one hundred yards. The Giants had possession of the ball for more than 35 minutes, which resulted in the Cowboys losing possession of the ball.

‍

During one of the most impressive performances of the season, quarterback Daniel Jones of the Giants threw for 281 yards on 29 of 40 attempts. Nevertheless, Dallas' defense remained resolute when it meant the most, including Amani Oruwariye's interception in the game's final second to end the contest.

‍

At the end of the game, the Cowboys had an opportunity to expand their lead, but kicker Brandon Aubrey failed to make a field goal from fifty yards out. Fortunately for Dallas, their defense did an excellent job of stopping Jones' last desperate drive, which allowed them to win.

‍

Although they are waiting for additional information, Dallas continues to be concerned about Parsons' health.
