Dak Prescott inspired the Dallas Cowboys to their seventh straight win over the New York Giants with a 20-15 victory.

The 31-year-old quarterback, the highest-paid player in NFL history, found running back Rico Dowdle for the first of his two touchdown passes to give the Cowboys the lead at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Prescott then hit CeeDee Lamb for a 55-yard score, with the wide receiver penalized for taunting after turning toward the home crowd and flexing his arms.

The Giants were limited to five Greg Joseph field goals by the Cowboys’ impressive defense.

It was the Cowboys’ second win in four games, while the Giants have lost three of their four games and are in last place in the NFC East standings.

“It was absolutely huge,” Prescott said.

“After two defeats, especially at home, you come to your first league game away. Division wins are always tough and you have to go away before a long weekend.”

The Giants’ night got even worse when star receiver Malik Nabers suffered a concussion late in the loss.

The rookie, making his fourth appearance, received on-field medical attention after hitting the ground hard with just over three minutes remaining and was ejected from the game.
