The New York Giants used a fast start, explosive plays through the air and a strong second half to pull away from the Dallas Cowboys for a 34–17 win on Sunday — a result that means they can select no higher than No. 3 in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Giants win ended Cowboy Dak Prescott’s streak of 14 victories in a row over the Giants, the second-longest against an opponent since 1950.

The Cowboys finished 7-9-1 in Brian Schottenheimer’s first season, the first time with consecutive losing seasons since three consecutive 5-11 seasons from 2000-02. The Giants, who beat the Raiders last week, finish 4-13.

Prescott played only the first half of the mostly meaningless game. He went 7-of-11 for 70 yards, giving him 4,552 yards for the season. 

The Giants outgained the Cowboys 380 to 286.Tyrone Tracy rushed for 103 yards, the Giants’ first 100-yard rusher since he did it in Week 10 of the 2024 season. 

Jaxson Dart completed 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, with Gunner Olszewski catching eight for 102.

The New York Giants defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-10 on Sunday, getting the club’s third win of the season and stopping a nine-game losing streak. The Raiders now have a leg up on the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft.

Jaxson Dart ran for two touchdowns, Deonte Banks returned a kickoff for another score, and the New York Giants snapped a nine-game losing streak with the road victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, who extended theirs to 10 consecutive outings. Mike Kafka picked up his first victory since becoming interim head coach.

Dart completed 22 of 30 passes for 207 yards and ran for two touchdowns. Dart now has 22 total touchdowns (13 passing, nine rushing) in 11 starts. With one game to go, the No. 25 overall draft pick trails only Charlie Conerly (27 in 1948) and Daniel Jones (26 in 2019) for the most total touchdowns in Giants history by a rookie quarterback.

The 3-13 Giants wrap up the 2025 season with a visit from the Cowboys, who improved to 7-8-1 with a 30-23 victory over the Commanders on Christmas Day. The Giants lost the first leg of the season series in a wild overtime finish at AT&T Stadium in Week 2.

The New England Patriots were dominant throughout its matchup with the New York Jets, and brought themselves just one more win away from wrapping up the division with a 42-10 victory at MetLife Stadium.

The Patriots were always going to win this game, and the majority of people thought they’d do it handedly, but could anyone have expected something this uneven?

New England entered the locker room at halftime leading in just about everything over New York: total yards (344-77), first downs (23-3), turnovers forced (1-0), time of possession (20:17-9:43) and points (35-3), and things didn’t improve very much coming out of the break.

The Jets ran back-to-back fake punts on their first possession of the second half, with the second failing miserably and the game was lopsided until the end. 

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye set a career high throwing five passing touchdowns against the New York Jets in a nearly perfect performance.
