Brandon Aubrey hit the game-winning field goal as time expired in overtime to give the Dallas Cowboys a dramatic 40-37 win over the New York Giants on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
Aubrey also sent the game into overtime by converting a 64-yard field goal as the clock hit zeroes, extending a wild game that saw two touchdowns in the final minute of regulation and seven total lead changes.
Dak Prescott went 38-of-52 passing for 361 yards and two touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb caught nine passes for 112 yards for Dallas (1-1). Prescott's 6-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens gave the Cowboys a 34-30 lead with 52 seconds remaining.
Russell Wilson went 30-of-41 passing for 450 yards and three touchdowns for New York (0-2). Malik Nabers caught nine passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead score after Pickens' TD grab.
Following an interception by Donovan Wilson that gave Dallas the ball at its own 30-yard line with two minutes left in overtime, the Cowboys drove to the New York 28 after a 14-yard scramble by Prescott.
The Cowboys wound down the clock, and Aubrey gave Dallas the win by nailing his 46-yarder from the right hash.
Trailing 34-30 in the final minute, New York took the lead with 25 seconds to go on a 48-yard touchdown bomb from Wilson to Nabers, who got behind two Dallas defenders and hauled in the pass in the end zone.
Dallas took over at its own 33-yard line and drove to the Giants' 46, where Aubrey connected from 64 yards to force overtime. It matched the third-longest field goal in NFL history, two yards shy of the league record; Aubrey also made a 65-yarder last season.
Trailing late in the fourth quarter, the Giants moved ahead 30-27 on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Wan'Dale Robinson with 2:44 remaining.
New York held a 13-3 advantage in the second quarter after Nabers' first TD, a 29-yard play, but Dallas responded with a pair of touchdown drives.
First came a 10-yard touchdown pass from Prescott to KaVontae Turpin. Then, Dallas took a 17-13 lead with 7:30 to go in the third quarter on a 30-yard touchdown run by Javonte Williams.
