Thu Nov 28 23:34:43 UTC 2024: **Cowboys Linebacker Overshown’s Thanksgiving Interception Steals the Show in Loss to Giants**
ARLINGTON, TX – DeMarvion Overshown, a former Texas Longhorn and Dallas Cowboys linebacker, provided the highlight of the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants, scoring his first career touchdown on a 23-yard interception return. The play, which came in the second quarter with the Cowboys trailing 7-6, saw Overshown intercept a pass tipped by a teammate from Giants quarterback Drew Lock.
Despite Overshown’s impressive feat, the Cowboys ultimately lost to the Giants, highlighting a disappointing season for the home team, who entered the game with a 4-7 record and an 0-5 home record. The Giants, also struggling with a 2-9 record, started journeyman quarterback Drew Lock, their third different starting quarterback in as many games. Lock replaced Tommy DeVito, who was injured.
Overshown, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, missed his rookie season due to an ACL injury. His Thanksgiving performance showcased his rapid development and emergence as a key contributor to the Cowboys’ defense. However, the Cowboys’ offense struggled, managing only two field goals in the first half before the turnover on downs following Overshown’s impressive interception. The game served as a stark reminder of the Cowboys’ overall struggles this season.
