Cowboys vs. Giants: Week 13’s Highs, Lows, and Must-See Moments

The good, the bad, and the ugly from Week 13

The Dallas Cowboys secured their second straight win in Week 13, defeating their division rival, the New York Giants, 27-20. Many doubted the Cowboys’ ability to bounce back, but this impressive back-to-back victory is beginning to shift the narrative.

What stood out most in this Thanksgiving Day showdown was how the positives outweighed the usual negatives and struggles we’ve come to expect from Dallas this season. The Cowboys controlled the game from start to finish, but it wasn’t without its flaws.

Here’s a breakdown of the good, the bad, and the ugly from this heated matchup between bitter rivals.

The Good – LB DeMarvion Overshown
DeMarvion Overshown has been a revelation for the Cowboys’ defense, emerging as a potential defensive MVP. His Thanksgiving performance highlighted his playmaking abilities, including a crucial interception returned for a touchdown. With nine tackles, a fumble recovery, and a game-changing pick-six, Overshown is proving to be a cornerstone player for Dallas.

The Bad – Injuries
Injuries continued to plague the Cowboys in Week 13, with Juanyeh Thomas, Tyler Guyton, Josh Butler, and even star receiver CeeDee Lamb leaving the game early. Their statuses remain unclear, but these absences add to an already depleted roster, leaving the Cowboys scrambling to fill gaps.

The Ugly – Giants’ Run Defense and Tackling
Rico Dowdle delivered a standout performance, rushing for 112 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Despite the Cowboys’ struggles with their ground game this year, Dowdle capitalized on a weak Giants defense, which was riddled with missed tackles and poor execution. The performance underscored just how vulnerable New York’s run defense has become.
