Prescott made it 14 in a row Sunday but not without a comeback . . . or two.
The Cowboys beat the Giants 40-37 on the last play of overtime on a 46-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey. It gave Brian Schottenheimer his first victory as a head coach.
The Cowboys are 1-1 and the Giants 0-2.

The teams combined for 41 points and five lead changes in the fourth quarter, including 24 points in the final 2:44 of regulation. Wan’Dale Robinson caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson with 2:44 left to give the Giants a 30-27 lead.
The Cowboys answered with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Prescott to George Pickens to regain the lead for Dallas at 34-30 with 52 seconds left. It was too much time for the Giants, who got a 48-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Malik Nabers with 25 seconds remaining.
That was too much time for Aubrey, who hit a 64-yard field goal on the final play to send it to overtime.
The Cowboys had three possessions in overtime and the Giants two. It was Donovan Wilson’s pick of Russell Wilson at the Dallas 30 at the 2-minute warning of overtime that gave the Cowboys a final chance.
