Drew Lock makes no difference as Giants fall to Cowboys in Thanksgiving dud
NY Post
ARLINGTON, Texas — Even when they don’t play soft, the Giants still find it incredibly hard to win.
One week after two of the team’s best players criticized the “soft” performance in a blowout loss at home, the teetering Giants avoided embarrassment in front of a national audience Thursday, but weren’t quite up to matching the headed-nowhere Cowboys in a 27-20 loss on Thanksgiving.
The Giants (2-10) suffered their seventh straight loss overall — tied for the seventh-longest losing streak in the franchise’s 100-year history — and dropped their eighth straight in the rivalry.
The Cowboys (5-7) snapped their six-game home losing streak in front of 92,196 at AT&T Stadium, where the Giants have not won since 2016.
Making his first start of the season and first of his Giants career in place of the injured Tommy DeVito, quarterback Drew Lock engineered a 70-yard touchdown drive on his first touch. Tyrone Tracy punched in a 1-yard touchdown after earlier converting a fourth-and-1.
