A high-scoring overtime game between bitter division rivals? Sign me up.
Giants at Cowboys, relegated to the early Sunday time slot (a rarity in this rivalry), would have made any prime-time audience happy. In the fourth quarter and overtime alone there were six lead changes — tied for the most in a game in NFL history (there were also six in Week 14, 2013 when the Ravens defeated the Vikings, 29-26).
The star of the highest-scoring game of a high-scoring Sunday was Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, who connected on a 64-yarder as time expired in regulation to send the game to overtime, then hit a 46-yard game-winner as time expired in the extra frame.
Aubrey is the first player in NFL history to convert a game-tying field gal with no time remaining in the fourth quarter and a game-winning field goal with no time remaining in overtime in the same game.
