Sunday marked the final regular season game for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. It's always a rivalry on the field, even with one of the teams headed to the postseason and the other looking towards a high draft pick. Below are the five standout players in Dallas' 36-35 win in New York.

1

Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys

No player shined more in Sunday's game than Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He had 27-of-44 completions for a whopping 387 yards and four touchdowns. In addition, he wasn't picked off all game. The four sacks may be something Dallas addresses heading into the postseason, though.

2

Blake Jarwin - Dallas Cowboys

Prescott's biggest recipient in the game was Blake Jarwin. He had seven receptions for 119 yards and three touchdowns in the 36-35 victory.

3

Eli Manning - New York Giants

Manning has had a rough season, but Sunday's outing showed his abilities to keep competing. Manning threw 24-of-41 completions for 301 yards and two touchdowns in the game. He was picked off once and sacked just once all day. It should be interesting to see if NY moves to get a new quarterback in the draft or keeps their hopes with Manning next season.

4

Saquon Barkley - New York Giants

On Sunday, Barkley's rookie season came to a close with 109 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. He also tallied 33 receiving yards on four catches. There aren't too many analysts out there that believe someone else deserves NFL Rookie of the Year on offense.

5

Cole Beasley - Dallas Cowboys

While Jarwin was the top target of the day for Prescott, his favorite was also a recipient of the hot passing. Beasley racked up 94 yards in the game and a touchdown on six receptions. His only touchdown was also a major score, as it brought the team within a point of the Giants late in the fourth.
