Drew Lock, Malik Nabers help Giants lead 7-3 on Cowboys

Giants quarterback Drew Lock was not happy last week when Tommy DeVito jumped him on the depth chart for the start. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers wasn’t happy he wasn’t the target until the play was out of reach.

Everyone was happy after the first drive on Thursday.

The Giants scored a touchdown on their opening possession, their first lead in a game since October 6. It was seven games ago.

They lead the Cowboys 7-3.

Lock targeted Nabers on all three passes and connected with him twice for 11 yards. Nabers also had a 4-yard run.

Lock put the Giants in position for the go-ahead with a 28-yard run. Officials initially ruled a 29-yard touchdown, but replay overturned it with Josh Butler pushing Lock out of bounds at the 1. That set up Tyrone Tracy’s touchdown run on the next play.

Tracy had three carries for 14 yards, including a 6-yard run on fourth-and-1, and Devin Singletary four carries for 13 yards, including a 2-yard run on third-and-1.
