Prescott Solid but Not Spectacular in Debut

Prescott, whose near-perfect quarterback rating in the preseason had generated no shortage of national attention, picked up where he left off when the real games kicked in while becoming the first Dallas rookie to start at the position since Quincy Carter in 2001.

While Elliott did get a touchdown on the ground as well, it was likely the inability to get the running game going that sunk the team, considering they lost to the Giants just 20-19.

Jones looks at Sunday's game as an aberration, believing the Cowboys are better offensively than they were a year ago, thanks to Prescott, an improved receiver corps and a better running game with rookie Ezekiel Elliott. He was targeted five times overall, less than tight end Jason Witten and wide receiver Cole Beasley, but quarterback Dak Prescott said Wednesday that there shouldn't be any panic about Bryant's role in the offense.

Now the Dallas Cowboys are the team with a clock management problem. Prescott is confident the chemistry with Bryant will come. "So you have to handle those kinds of situations when they come up". The offense failed to score 20 points for the ninth time in their last 13 games.

"I'm so happy for him", the rookie said. "He felt he was covered, saw me moving around the pocket and found the open window".

"Learn from the experience and get back to work", Garrett said.

The perception is Zeke Elliott didn't run the ball very well.

As he spoke , Reverend Faith Green Timmons walked over, her hands clasped, and interrupted him. Trump added that the interruption didn't bother him: "Everyone plays their games".

Bryant caught Prescott's first pass of the game for eight yards on the opening drive and was shut out the rest of the way by an improved Giants defense.

They believe things will be different with Prescott because he is better than the quarterbacks who replaced Romo past year, and he has a better supporting cast around him.

"We also got an opportunity to get some consistency in the game", he said. "We'll continue to attack Dez and go after them in those coverages when they give them to us".

However, the most important catch of the game for the Giants was what they were waiting 700 days for. Newly acquired Olivier Vernon and Damon Harrison stuffed the run countless times on Sunday.

Cruz, who missed most of 2014 with a knee injury and all of last season with a bad calf, broke free in the end zone for a 3-yard TD with 6 minutes remaining, prompting his trademark salsa dance. "I was just too busy and I'm too much into the game, and it's just something I should have just followed the rules". "We've learned from the past and moved on". "That doesn't minimize the loss".

When the losses have piled up the way they have the last two seasons, minor victories mean a lot.
