Aubrey’s Overtime Heroics Sink Giants in Heartbreaking 40-37 Thriller Against Cowboys
ARLINGTON, Texas – The New York Giants suffered a devastating 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, marked by a dramatic late-game collapse and a walk-off field goal from Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey. The defeat extends the Giants’ miserable streak against their NFC East rivals, pushing them to an 0-2 start for the 2025 season.
In a game filled with twists and turns, the Giants squandered two separate 3-point leads in the final 52 seconds of regulation. Despite a vintage performance from quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw for 450 yards, the Giants couldn’t hold on. Aubrey’s clutch kicking included a 64-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter to force overtime, followed by the game-winning kick after a crucial interception thrown by Wilson.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged the tough loss, which saw his team accumulate a franchise-record 160 yards in penalties. Wide receivers Malik Nabers (9 catches, 167 yards, 2 TDs) and Wan’Dale Robinson (8 catches, 142 yards, 1 TD) were standout performers, with Nabers putting the Giants up 37-34 with just 25 seconds left before Aubrey’s heroics.
For the Cowboys, quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 361 yards and orchestrated the late comeback. The victory was crucial for Dallas, preventing an 0-2 start in the division. Meanwhile, the Giants now face an uphill battle, marking their 10th 0-2 start in the past 13 seasons without a subsequent playoff berth.
