EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- With a no-huddle offense and no-fooling-around defense, the New York Giants snapped the Cowboys 11-game winning streak with a 10-7 victory Sunday night, preventing Dallas from clinching the NFC East.Dallas (11-2) hadnt lost since the season opener against the Giants (9-4), who solidified their position in the NFC playoff chase as the top-wild card team. New York still hopes to catch Dallas in the division, and it can thank a stingy, aggressive defense for still having that opportunity.Missing star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, the Giants couldnt stop rookie sensation Ezekiel Elliott from rushing for 107 yards. But New Yorks pressure stymied the other Cowboys rookie standout, quarterback Dak Prescott, blanked receiver Dez Bryant until 2:13 remained -- he fumbled away the ball on that play -- and held Dallas to one conversion in 15 third-down attempts.Talk about us winning, the defense, holding the game down against clearly one of the best teams in the league, said Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., whose 61-yard touchdown reception provided the winning points. They got two young guys over there doing their thing and one of the best receivers in the league, and the (defense) found a way to hold them to seven points. Thats really the story.The Giants had three sacks, continually made Prescott uncomfortable, and he threw two picks.Its a bad feeling but it gets you resettled, gets you back right, said Prescott, who has made Tony Romos return from injury basically a non-headline so far. After we lost to these guys the first time, we went on that run. Maybe we can do something similar.New Yorks offense was unsightly much of the night, blanked at halftime with only 84 net yards. Then it switched to the no-huddle and put together a short drive to Robbie Goulds 39-yard field goal, making it 7-3.But Beckham, stepped up, as he often does, and sped through the Cowboys on a 61-yard touchdown play. Beckham caught Eli Mannings pass at the Giants 48 and raced all the way to the end zone for the lead the defense preserved.I just caught a slant and tried to hit a gear, he said, and I looked back -- actually I didnt have to look back, I could feel somebody running, and (cornerback Brandon) Carr was running as fast as I ever felt somebody chasing me. I had to hit another gear. My hamstrings got a little tight. It was a real race.Beckham won, and it was just enough.This is huge man, linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. The so-called best team in the league and they got two losses, both to us.Manning was 17 for 28 for 193 yards, one TD, one interception and two fumbles. His main adversary was linebacker Sean Lee, who had 18 tackles.There wasnt much offense in the opening 30 minutes -- Prescott threw for 101 yards and Manning had only 80. That was no issue for Dallas, which simply let Elliott control matters with 15 rushes for 86 yards; 2 more yards than the Giants had in total offense. The one big play was Prescotts 31-yard TD pass to Terrance Williams as the Giants completely bit on a play-action fake.New York was plagued by sloppiness and poor blocking in the second straight game in didnt score in the opening half. Dallas got to Manning three times in that half, forcing fumbles on two of those sacks. Lee seemed to be in on every tackle for the Cowboys, forced one fumble and recovered another.Dallas came close to extending its 7-0 lead on the final play of the first half, but Dan Baileys 55-yard field goal attempt hit the crossbar.DAKS PASSINGPrescott had thrown for a touchdown and not been intercepted in five straight games, a rookie record. He got a TD early Sunday when he connected with the wide-open Williams for a 31-yard score, but the string ended when Bryant slipped as Prescott threw and Janoris Jenkins picked off the second-quarter pass.Prescott finished 17 for 37 for 165 yards.MANNING MILESTONEManning passed Hall of Famer Warren Moon for seventh place in career passing yards and has 47,477 since joining the team in 2004. Older brother Peyton is the leader with 71,940 yards.INJURIESNew York lost RB Shane Vereen (concussion) in his first game back after being idle for nine games with a triceps injury. DT Johnathan Hankins left with a neck burner in the second half.UP NEXT:Cowboys: Host Buccaneers on Dec. 18Giants: Host Lions on Dec. 18---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Christian Laettner Pistons Jersey .

SEATTLE -- The missing necktie that cost Carolinas Cam Newton one play is insignificant compared to what the Seattle Seahawks lost on Sunday night.There is no replacing Earl Thomas and all he means to Seattles stingy defense. Now, the Seahawks must play the rest of the regular season and likely a big chunk of the postseason without their star safety.You cant make up for it, defensive end Michael Bennett said. You just try to find some others who can do half of what he does.Seattles 40-7 romp over the Panthers kept the Seahawks on track for another NFC West title. They are three games ahead of Arizona with four remaining, and Seattle (8-3-1) moved back in front of Detroit for a coveted first-round bye.But playoff positioning or Seattle reaching the 40-point mark for the first time since its Super Bowl rout of Denver was secondary to Thomas broken lower left leg. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Thomas has a cracked tibia and the injury is always six weeks, but his status for a possible return during the postseason remains very much in question.Thomas missed the first game of his pro career last week when he sat out against Tampa Bay due to a hamstring injury. He returned just 14 days after first getting hurt and lasted less than two quarters before the course of Seattles season changed.Thomas collided with teammate Kam Chancellor as both attempted to intercept a pass from Newton. True to Thomas nature, he was talking about the break he made on the ball as he laid on the ground in pain, teammate Richard Sherman said.Were all going to miss the heck out of Earl because we love having that guy back there, Carroll said. But we dont get to.Seattle will rely on Steven Terrell to fill Thomas role as the center fielder patrolling the back of the defense. Terrell has played well in his limited opportunities, but now will be counted on for an extended period if Seattle is to stay on its playoff track.Of course, if the Seahawks continue to put up 40 points and rush for 240 yards, there will be less pressure on the defense.The running game is a big part of the offense and it complements everything that we do, receiver Doug Baldwin said. When we run the ball like we did tonight, the defense has to account for it.Carolina (4-8) has its own injury issues its been dealing with, but it was a missing necktie that became the focal point of what turned into a blowout loss. Newwton was benched for the first series of the game because he violated the Panthers dress code by not having a necktie for the team flight to Seattle.ddddddddddddhat one series lasted just one play as Derek Andersons pass for Mike Tolbert deflected into the arms of Seattle linebacker Mike Morgan and was the beginning of a miserable night for Carolina.The Panthers had one highlight, when Newton hit Ted Ginn Jr. for a 55-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Otherwise, it was big plays by Seattle underneath a cloud of controversy over the decision to punish Newton -- even if it lasted only one play.There are some guys out there that need to step it up and unfortunately they didnt, Carolina coach Ron Rivera said.Here are some other things to know after Seattle improved to 6-0 at home this season:RAWLS ROLLING: Thomas Rawls finally had the breakout Seattle has been waiting for from its run game. Rawls rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, including a 45-yard dart early in the second quarter that answered Carolinas lone score. Rawls finished with 106 yards after he was limited in the second half, but the performance was an optimistic sign coming against the No. 2 rush defense in the NFL.MOUNTING INJURIES: While losing Thomas is a huge blow for Seattle, the Panthers added to their already significant injury list. Carolina was without starters Kurt Coleman, Luke Kuechly, Daryl Williams and Mario Addison, then lost cornerback Daryl Worley and linebacker David Mayo to concussions against the Seahawks.Were beat up pretty bad. Pretty injured, safety Tre Boston said. Weve got guys who stepped up and guys who play well when they step up, but its starting to show on offense and defense.ROCKET LOCKETT: Seattle wide receiver Tyler Lockett spent the first half of the season running tentatively after a knee injury in Week 2 against Los Angeles. His burst finally appears to have returned, and he took off on a flashy, 75-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half. Most impressive was Lockett outrunning Boston, who appeared to have the angle on him.I knew if I got caught, I would never hear the end of it at our meetings, Lockett said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
