At AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
■ RECAP: Jason Witten scored the only touchdown while breaking the franchise record for yards receiving, and the Dallas defense shackled New York.
Ezekiel Elliott had 104 yards rushing and 36 receiving, and Dak Prescott was turnoverfree while throwing for 268 yards. Dan Bailey kicked four field goals.
Eli Manning didn’t have Odell Beckham Jr. in his 200th straight start after his top target sprained his ankle in a preseason game. The Giants were outgained in the first half 265-49 while falling behind 16-0.
Manning was 28 of 37 for 211 yards with an interception and didn’t connect with new receiver Brandon Marshall, who dropped his best chance for a catch.
Witten scored the Cowboys’ touchdown on a 12-yard catch and finished with seven catches for 59, breaking Michael Irvin’s club record of 11,904 yards.
The Giants couldn’t help Manning when he was under more pressure than he’s been used to against the Cowboys. Paul Perkins had 16 yards on seven carries as the Giants were outgained 129-35 on the ground.
■ QUOTABLE: “We have plenty of players who can make plays on the offense outside of Odell. That’s no excuse.” — Giants coach Ben Mcadoo on playing without Beckham
