New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys 1st Quarter
The NY Giants have an early lead against the Dallas Cowboys in week 8
The Giants ahave a few good plays on their first drive but have to settle fir 3 are are first putting points up.
A big mistake in mid field by Tony Romo and the Giants get their first pick and interception. The Giants turn the drive into another field goal and take a 6 point lead against Dallas.
Tony Romo throws another interception. The Cowboys just can not continue to play this way. Tony Romo has had 2 possessions and has turned the ball over twice.
The Giants are well within striking distance but their offense needs to settle down a bit and convert on their 3rd downs better. A short run by Andre Brown and NY extends their lead to 13 to 0 against the Cowboys.
Time for Dallas to take another shot and hopefully the early mistakes Romo has made have not blown his confidence completely because now more than ever Dallas needs to protect the football and convert.
Great punt return by Lance Dunbar of Dallas and they are close to mid field. A poor snap on the 3rd down and Dallas is forced to punt and NY gets the ball back with just over 2 minutes left in the first quarter.
3 and outfor the Giants and Dallas has another opportunity before the end of the quarter. But on the punt return the ball is stripped away on the return and the Giants get the ball back on the third turnover by Dallas.
The score at the end of the third quarter is 13 NY to Dallas 0.
