CeeDee Lamb was his favorite target, racking up 194 receiving yards and contributing significantly to the aerial assault.

The turning point came midway through the second quarter when Prescott threw his fourth touchdown pass, shifting momentum firmly in the Cowboys' favor and leaving the Giants in a desperate position for the remainder of the game.
