ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Tony Romo threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten with 7 seconds left, and the Dallas Cowboys overcame three turnovers that led to easy New York points to beat the Giants 27-26 on Sunday night.
The Cowboys drove 72 yards in just 1:27 after forcing the Giants to settle for Josh Brown’s fourth field goal when a touchdown would have sealed New York’s first victory in an opener against Dallas. The Cowboys are 8-0 against New York in openers.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie returned a fumble 57 yards for a touchdown, and the Giants had to go just 1 yard for their other TD after Trumaine McBride’s interception.
It was the fifth straight win for the defending NFC East champion Cowboys over their division rival.
