Cowboys beat Giants on last play of overtime, 40-37

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Brandon Aubrey kicked a 46-yard field goal on the final play of overtime after a tying 64-yarder to end regulation, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 40-37 in a thrilling duel between star quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson on Sunday.

The Cowboys extended their winning streak against the NFC East rivals to nine games -- the longest active streak in the NFL among division opponents -- and Prescott beat the Giants for the 14th consecutive time since losing both starts against them as a rookie in 2016.

Overtime was on the verge of going scoreless after the teams combined for five go-ahead TDs in the final 12 minutes of the fourth quarter.

That included a go-ahead TD apiece for Prescott and Wilson in the final minute before Prescott got the Cowboys just far enough for Aubrey's tying kick on the last play of regulation.

Wilson, who threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns, connected with Malik Nabors on a 48-yard TD for a 37-34 New York lead with 25 seconds remaining after Prescott threw a 6-yarder to George Pickens with 52 seconds to go.

The Giants just needed a field goal to win when Wilson threw an ill-advised deep ball with pressure, and Donovan Wilson intercepted at the Dallas 30 with 2 minutes left in OT. Prescott put Aubrey in chip-shot range with a 14-yard scramble.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Josh Allen shook off a bloody nose that sidelined him for two plays, James Cook ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns and the Buffalo Bills cruised to a 30-10 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Buffalo, coming off a 41-40 comeback win over Baltimore, needed no late rally in this one as the Bills (2-0) shut down Justin Fields and the Jets' offense from the start.

With the Bills (2-0) leading 10-0, Allen left late in the first quarter after getting hit in the face when he scrambled and was stopped for no gain. Micheal Clemons appeared to get a hand under the quarterback's facemask.

Allen, with blood flowing from his nose, ran to the sideline and was examined by trainers. Mitchell Trubisky came in and immediately completed a 32-yard pass to Joshua Palmer for a first down. Trubisky then handed off to Ty Johnson as Allen continued to be looked at.

Allen, with his left nostril packed with gauze, then jogged back onto the field on the next play to start the second quarter. The drive ended with a 52-yard field goal by Matt Prater that gave the Bills a 13-0 lead.

With the game well in hand and the Bills leading 30-3 with 8:23 left, Allen came out and Trubisky finished. Allen was 14 of 25 for 148 yards and ran for 59 yards on six carries.

Fields, coming off a promising Jets debut in the opener, struggled to move the ball against the Bills before leaving in the fourth quarter with a concussion.

After being sacked by Joey Bosa, Fields was checked in the injury tent and then walked to the locker room. Tyrod Taylor replaced Fields with 12:03 remaining. Fields was only 3 of 11 passing for 27 yards and had 49 yards rushing on five carries.

Taylor got the Jets, who fell to 0-2 under new coach Aaron Glenn, into the end zone for the only time when he tossed a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Ruckert with 3:28 left.

After allowing 238 yards rushing in the win over Baltimore, Buffalo gave up just 100 to New York even with defensive tackle Ed Oliver out.
