Dallas had seven different passing plays of at least 24 yards and four of at least 44 yards. Five different receivers accounted for the barrage from 38-year-old veteran quarterback Jon Kitna. The Giants’ pass rush was barely present, with one sack and little pressure, and their secondary was battered.

On third-and-2, Manning tried to hook up with his favorite red zone target, Nicks, who was in one-on-one coverage against McCann. Only there was a problem: Nicks stopped running his slant route and didn’t fight to get in front of the corner. McCann perfectly cradled the ball and burst down the right sideline for a 101-yard touchdown return that gave the Cowboys a 16-3 lead with 7:34 left in the second quarter.

“In this league, penalties and turnovers are the fine line from winning and losing,” Andrews said. ”It kind of put us in a hole today. We fought and clawed today, but when we tried to get back in the end it just wasn’t enough. We just have to start fast and finish strong.”

Barden, who had three catches for 34 yards, rolled his ankle in the back of the end zone when Eli Manning threw a high pass that fell incomplete near the end of the first half.
Barden underwent X-rays afterward and said the results were negative. The 6-6 receiver said he will find out more on Monday.
