Dak Prescott tossed two touchdown passes and the Dallas Cowboys held New York out of the end zone en route to a 20-15 victory over the Giants on Monday night at East Rutherford, N.J.

CeeDee Lamb caught seven passes for 98 yards and a touchdown and Rico Dowdle also had a scoring reception for the Cowboys (2-2). Prescott completed 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards while helping Dallas defeat New York for the seventh straight time and 14th time in their last 15 meetings.

Amani Oruwariye picked off New York’s Daniel Jones with five seconds left to seal the victory.

Greg Joseph matched his career high of five field goals for the Giants (1-3). Jones was 29-of-40 passing for 281 yards and the interception.

Star rookie Malik Nabers has 12 receptions for 115 yards before leaving the game late with a reported concussion. Wan’Dale Robinson caught 11 passes for 71 yards for New York. Both players set career highs for catches in a game.

The Giants trailed by five when they opened the third quarter by moving 77 yards on 11 plays. But the drive stalled at the 3-yard line and the Giants had to settle for Joseph’s 22-yard field goal to move within 14-12.

Brandon Aubrey answered with a 60-yard field goal with 5:06 left in the period for Dallas. It was the second straight week that Aubrey was good from 60 or more. Last week, he booted a 65-yarder, the second-longest in NFL history, during a loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Joseph booted his fifth field goal, a 42-yarder, with 11:11 left in the contest to bring New York within 17-15.

Aubrey responded with a 40-yarder with 6:54 remaining.

New York came up empty on the next drive when Jones’ fourth-and-6 throw from his own 45-yard line for Nabers was incomplete with 3:21 remaining. Nabers dove for the ball but could not hold on, landing on the ball with his body and his head appearing to hit the ground. Nabers was on the field for a few minutes before getting up. He left for the locker room a short time later.

Dallas star linebacker Micah Parsons exited with an apparent lower-leg injury with 3:30 left. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) was injured in the third quarter and didn’t return.

The Cowboys limited New York to 26 rushing yards.

Prescott threw two touchdown passes to help Dallas to a 14-9 lead at halftime. Joseph booted three first-half field goals, including a 52-yarder to start the scoring. He also hit from 41 and 38 yards.

Prescott later hit Lamb inside the Giants’ 40-yard line and the receiver turned it into a 55-yard scoring play to give Dallas a 14-6 lead with 9:16 left in the half.
