Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins: Jenkins held Dallas star Dez Bryant to just one catch, forcing a fumble on that play recovered by Landon Collins with 2:13 to go in the game. Jenkins finished with two tackles, two passes defensed and an interception.

Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.: The flamboyant star had a couple of early drops but provided a game-breaking 61-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. He finished with four catches for 94 yards.

Giants defensive end Romeo Okwara: The rookie replaced the injured Jason Pierre-Paul in the lineup and finished with eight tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, three quarterback hits and a pass defensed.
