Prescott, Cowboys thump wounded Giants
ARLINGTON — Dak Prescott threw for three touchdowns the day before the one-year anniversary of his severe ankle injury in the same stadium against the same opponent, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 44-20 on Sunday.
The already injuryplagued Giants lost running back Saquon Barkley to an apparent ankle sprain in the first quarter and quarterback Daniel Jones to a concussion in the second quarter.
After a woozy Jones was taken off on a cart, New York pulled even at 10-all on backup QB Mike Glennon’s first snap of the season, a fourth-down handoff to Barkley’s replacement Devontae Booker from the 1.
Glennon and the Giants couldn’t keep it up 364 days after then-Dallas backup Andy Dalton led a comeback to a 37-34 victory following the seasonending compound fracture and dislocation of Prescott’s right ankle at the home of the Cowboys.
Dallas (4-1) has won four games in a row since a loss to Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay in the opener.
BILLS 38, CHIEFS 20

PACKERS 25 BENGALS 22 (OT)
