Giants take 21–7 lead over Cowboys as Likely scores twice
New York lead Dallas in the second half of the opening game of the John Harbaugh era, while injury concerns emerge for Deonte Banks and Malik Nabers.
The New York Giants lead the Dallas Cowboys 21–7 in the second half of their NFL Week 1 game, according to live updates from Yahoo Sports.
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has connected with Isaiah Likely for two touchdowns. Likely has six catches for 61 yards and two touchdowns on his Giants debut.
The Giants held a 14–7 lead at half-time after Dart produced a touchdown drive following a Dak Prescott interception. New York won the opening coin toss and deferred, giving the Cowboys the initial possession before receiving the ball to start the second half.
The Giants extended their advantage when Dart found Likely again on a quick play-action pass. The scoring drive followed an opening second-half possession that included two catches for 29 yards by Malik Nabers.
New York cornerback Deonte Banks left the field limping, with Paulson Adebo replacing him. Nabers also briefly left the field and was reportedly stretched on the sideline before returning to the game.
The available updates do not establish a final score or confirm the nature or severity of either player’s possible injury.
