Wilson’s late deep strike gave the Giants the lead in Dallas, but Brandon Aubrey’s last-second field goal sent the game to overtime at 37-37.
New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Malik Nabers with less than a minute remaining Sunday in Dallas, giving the Giants a 37-34 lead, but the Cowboys answered as time expired with a 64-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey to force overtime at 37-37.

The touchdown energized the Giants and drew a flood of reaction on social media, where fans described the play as breathtaking and praised Wilson’s deep passing. The Cowboys, however, regained possession with 25 seconds remaining and drove into position for Aubrey’s attempt, which split the uprights from 64 yards as the clock hit zero.

Nabers, who hauled in the long throw, provided the playmaking finish for New York’s offense. The Cowboys’ return drive featured quick sideline completions and a final push into field-goal range, where Aubrey, who had already handled several long attempts in the contest, delivered the tying score.
The final result of overtime was not immediately available.
