Half-Time Report: Dallas Cowboys leading New York Giants by eight

Dallas Cowboys have opened up a 14-6 half-time advantage over the New York Giants at the MetLife Stadium.

The visitors went ahead when Jeff Heath returned a Victor Cruz fumble for 50 yards with just over four-and-a-half minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Josh Brown got the Giants going with a 21-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but they fell further behind when Jason Witten gathered a 20-yard pass from Tony Romo in the end zone.

That took the Cowboys' lead to 14-3, although Brown has kept the home side in contention with a 23-yard field goal with over three minutes left before the break.

Jason Garrett's men are seeking to tie Philadelphia Eagles on 6-5 at the top of the NFC East, while the Giants are looking for a fifth win in a row to go 5-6.
