The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys played one of the more exciting games in recent Giants’ history on Sunday. However, the ending was crushing for New York. Cowboys 40, Giants 37. 

The overtime game saw 41 points scored in the fourth quarter, as Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson played well. A 64-yard Brandon Aubrey field goal sent this game to overtime after Wilson connected on a 48-yard touchdown bomb to Malik Nabers, which was after a short George Pickens touchdown that happened just after the two-minute warning.

Both teams were heavily penalized. The Giants committed 14 penalties for 160 yards, and Dallas committed 12 for 106 yards. New York went over 500 total offensive yards for the first time since 2011 – another game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants were the winners of that affair, but they failed to seize victory despite a valiant effort.

This was a completely different Wilson than we saw in Week 1 against Washington. Wilson finished the first half 17 of 20 for 235 yards with one touchdown. Wilson finished the game with 450 yards passing and 3 touchdowns.

The Buffalo Bills cruised to a comfortable 30-10 victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

The Bills jumped out to an early lead and coasted behind an efficient offensive performance and dominant defensive play.

James Cook led the way with two rushing touchdowns. Cook made a sensational, ankle-breaking 44-yard rush in the second quarter to add to the highlight reel from an otherwise quiet and workmanlike performance.

The Bills defense didn’t allow the Jets near the end zone until garbage time. Buffalo’s defense, playing without Ed Oliver, Taron Johnson, and Maxwell Hairston, held the Jets to under 100 total yards well into the fourth quarter.

Justin Fields completed just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards before leaving the game with a concussion early in the fourth quarter.

Nolan McLean was making his third career start for the New York Mets on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. In the series’ first two games, the Mets’ starting pitchers did not get past the sixth inning.

In just his third start, McLean absolutely dominated in a 6-0 win for New York over Philadelphia. In the game, he pitched eight innings and gave up four hits. McLean walked no batters and struck out six. He also didn’t approach 100 pitches on the night, which was even more impressive considering the fact that the starting pitching has struggled for most of the season.

Nolan McLean could be the New York Mets’ potential ace moving forward

Mets fans will not dispute that David Peterson has been the best starting pitcher on the team before McLean. Since McLean arrived, the rotation has been different and better. 

During the Phillies matchup, McLean had the Phillies hitters looking confused. He has faced quality lineups in all three games he has appeared in. This could go a long way for the Mets.
