Giants Exploit Cowboys Coverage Breakdown | Dallas Cowboys News

Isaiah Likely exploded for his first Giants game, hauled in all eight targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns—something the Cowboys knew was coming but couldn’t stop. Their defense blamed execution failures, with safety P.J. Locke admitting they failed to cover despite knowing the plays. Coach Schottenheimer cited “bad eyes” and broken coverage schemes, especially on running back screens. Meanwhile, the Giants’ offense ran hot: nine of eleven third downs converted, perfect red zone efficiency, and Jaxson Dart threw for over 200 yards and three TDs without an interception. The offensive coordinator’s game plan clearly exploited Dallas’ weaknesses, while players like Quinnen Williams and Von Miller admitted it came down to being outplayed—and needing better execution. Now, the Cowboys turn their focus to next week’s showdown against Washington, determined to fix their coverage and avoid repeating these costly mistakes.
