AI RECAPIn a dominating performance, the New York Giants topped the Dallas Cowboys 57-26 in Week 17 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications on the line, the Giants solidified their position and showcased their offensive firepower in a decisive victory over their division rivals.
Leading the charge for New York was quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw for an impressive 398 yards, while wide receiver Quentin Johnston was a standout target, racking up 195 receiving yards. The Cowboys' Jaxson Dart kept pace with four touchdown passes, but it was not enough to overcome the Giants' offensive barrage. Bijan Robinson also made his mark for Dallas, amassing 102 rushing yards in a losing effort.
Defensively, Budda Baker's interception was crucial in stifling any momentum the Cowboys attempted to build. Although the Giants' defense allowed some big plays, they forced key turnovers that shifted the game's momentum decisively in their favor. The turning point came when Baker's pick set up a quick touchdown, extending the Giants' lead and leaving Dallas scrambling for answers.
