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

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

Prescott then found CeeDee Lamb for a 55-yard score, with the wide receiver subsequently penalized for taunting after turning to 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 lost three of their four, leaving them at the bottom of the NFC East standings.

“It was absolutely huge,” Prescott said.

“After losing two, especially at home, you go out for a first division game. Division wins are always tough and you have to go out for a long weekend.”

The Giants’ night was further soured when star receiver Malik Nabers suffered a concussion late in the loss.

The rookie, making his fourth appearance, received medical treatment on the field after hitting the ground hard with just over three minutes to go and was ruled out of the game.
