Despite getting an interception and registering a sack on the Giants first two drives to start the second half, the Dallas secondary got picked apart as the game went along and allowed Manning to throw for three touchdowns inside the red zone. They obviously don't want him to be less than 100 percent when he returns because that will increase the risk of reinjuring his back.
The Giants had a first-and-goal from the 3 on the go-ahead drive.
"", Prescott said.
Dan Bailey had four field goals, matched his career long at 56 yards and had another one from 54.
The Cowboys thew several passes down the field. Then the Giants emphasized the run to use most of the clock, quite a contrast to last season when questionable clock management contributed to six losses late in regulation or in overtime in a 6-10 season.
But more importantly, rookie quarterback Dak Prescott played pretty well in his debut Sunday. Prescott also had 2 carries for 12 yards which I think will pick up as well if the offensive line cannot give him the time needed to be able to pass the ball.

The reality is he was awfully effective and made very good decisions on the field.
Texas A&M; is also on par with America's Team, as they defeated Arkansas previous year in Jerry World during a game in late September 2015. They came up 1 yard short.
Prescott did a nice job spreading the ball around in Sunday's opener.
I decided I had to take the trip to Dallas, being a part of Dak's first professional start, even as a fan, was an opportunity too good to pass up. Morris had a better night than Elliott, and that is because Morris is a veteran back who was patient in the game.
"I think we just took one step in a season of trying to maximize our potential", right tackle Marshall Newhouse said. It was by far the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a Cowboy game either here, or at the old Texas Stadium in Irving or the Cotton Bowl in Dallas where the Cowboys began playing in 1960. "To come out and finish a game is huge for us", Pugh said to Kratch. That's trite to say that. "We've all played in games where sun or weather was a factor and my experience has been that it's a factor for both teams and everybody who's out there".
Although there wasn't much running room Sunday afternoon, Ezekiel Elliott acknowledges he could have been a little more patient on some of his rushing attempts. In fact, they very almost ended the game in a victory formation when Rashad Jennings ran for 11 yards on third-and-12. That means he averaged just over 2.5 yards per carry.
