After a quiet start to the game, the Cowboys opened the scoring when Dan Bailey kicked a 30-yard field goal following a lengthy drive from the visiting side.
The Giants did not take long to find the opening touchdown of the game, though, as running back Orleans Darkwa broke off a couple of tackles to power over from 15 yards out.
Bailey cut the gap to a point with another field goal, before the Cowboys defense halted the Giants, with Greg Hardy sacking Eli Manning.
Having won the ball back, Dallas quickly moved the ball downfield, using tight end Jason Witten to pick up some yards, before a short run from Darren McFadden resulted in a touchdown for the visitors.
Manning tried to pick out Odell Beckham Jr in the corner of the endzone inside the final two minutes of the second quarter, but the wide receiver was unable to make the one-handed catch, forcing the home side to settle for a field goal from Josh Brown, leaving them three points behind at the interval.
