The NY Giants keep their NFL Playoffs hopes alive, at least for a few more hours, after defeating the Cowboys 23-19.

The NY Giants end the regular season with a big 23-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys to remain in the playoff race, for now.

The Giants can win the NFC East if Philadelphia defeats Washington tonight.  Whether they make the postseason or not, this team has made a lot of strides since last season. This is not the same team as last year who finished with just four wins. They are still missing a winning season, but this defense has looked better than it has in years and the offensive line is actually protecting the quarterback.

This game gave Jason Garrett a chance to send home his former team.

Garrett who came back after testing positive for COVID-19 got to face the team he led for nine seasons. It got real chippy early and continued that way. Both teams looked at this game like week one of the playoffs. It was a tale of two halves, with the Giants having their way the entire first half. Andy Dalton and the Dallas offense woke up in the second half and came within one point.
