Heroes, zeroes and the total blitz of The Giants’ 23-20 loss to the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Thursday:
hero
DeMarvion Overshown made a remarkable individual effort to beat chip blocker Devin Singletary off his target and then threw a pass to Singletary in the air. He caught the deflection and returned it for a pick-six from Drew Lock, giving the Cowboys a 13-7 lead they never surrendered.
Zero
The Giants’ offensive line allowed six sacks to the Cowboys. What else can you expect with third and fourth offensive tackles Chris Hubbard and Evan Neal?
An unsung hero
Expect Micah Parsons (1.5 sacks, four quarterback hits) to dominate. But how surprising was it to see Jets-expelled big-money Carl Lawson (one sack, five quarterback hits) also roughing the Giants’ backup tackle mix?
Key stat
13: Penalties against the Giants, totaling 98 yards and giving the Cowboys four first downs.
