Aubrey ends wild Prescott-Wilson duel with FG as time expires in OT as Cowboys top Giants 40-37

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott wasn't thinking late in a wild duel with Russell Wilson about his long personal winning streak against the New York Giants, and probably not about the prospect of Brian Schottenheimer's first victory as a head coach.

Plenty of time afterward to savor both.

Brandon Aubrey kicked a 46-yard field goal as time expired in overtime after a tying 64-yarder to end regulation, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Giants 40-37 to cap a thrilling back-and-forth between star quarterbacks Sunday.

The Cowboys (1-1) extended the winning streak against their NFC East rival to nine games — the longest active streak in the NFL among division opponents — and Prescott beat the Giants (0-2) for the 14th consecutive time since losing both starts against them as a rookie in 2016.

Schottenheimer — son of the late Marty Schottenheimer, a 200-game winner as an NFL coach — now needs 199 to catch his dad after spending a quarter-century as an NFL assistant.

“Told him that game was the epitome of him and his coaching staff, just the resiliency he has,” Prescott said. “He deserved that first win. Tough one to get. Fun one to get. Very fun one to get. I know he’ll never forget it. I won’t forget it. I’m sure every guy in that locker room won’t forget this one.”

Prescott was right about how his coach would feel.

“Cool way to win your first game,” Schottenheimer said. “The words that Dak and the players said to me after the game is why it's so special. I expect the first of many, but I'll remember this one forever because of the fight of these guys.”

Overtime was on the verge of going scoreless after the teams combined for five consecutive go-ahead TDs in the final 12 minutes of the fourth quarter, including a scoring toss apiece from Prescott and Wilson in the final minute.

Then Wilson made his only big mistake on a huge day — 450 yards passing, 2 shy of his career high, and three touchdowns a week after his Giants debut ended with New York as just the second NFL team to go three consecutive season openers without getting in the end zone.

The Giants just needed a field goal to win when Wilson threw an ill-advised deep ball with pressure, and Donovan Wilson intercepted it at the Dallas 30 with 2 minutes left in OT.

Dallas moved into what is chip-shot range for Aubrey on a 14-yard scramble from Prescott, who missed the final nine games of last season with a torn hamstring. Aubrey became the first with field goals as time ran out in regulation and overtime in the same game, and the sixth lead change of the fourth quarter and OT tied an NFL record.

“Told you I could run,” Prescott said. “Rehab went well, man. Felt good. Felt good.”

Rookie Cam Skattebo’s first career TD on a 1-yard plunge put the Giants up 23-20 early in the fourth quarter before Miles Sanders put Dallas back in front with a 4-yard run.

Wilson and Prescott took it from there.

After Wilson’s 32-yard scoring toss to Wan’Dale Robinson on fourth down with less than three minutes to go, Prescott led Dallas to George Pickens’ first TD with the Cowboys with 52 seconds remaining.

With Prescott standing on a bench imploring the crowd to make noise, Wilson dropped a perfect pass to Malik Nabers in the end zone with 25 seconds to go.

Prescott got the Cowboys to the New York 46-yard line, close enough for the second-longest kick of Aubrey’s career. He hit a 65-yarder — 1 yard shy of Justin Tucker’s NFL record — last season.

“I love watching boxing,” Wilson said. “We’re in a 17-round fight and we battled the first round and second round and got more to do. So I was really proud, to be able to answer the way that we did. I’ve been part of a lot of crazy games. I don’t know if I've been a part of one that crazy and that much grit.”

The wild fourth quarter overshadowed what had been a penalty fest to that point, courtesy mostly of the Giants.

Backup left tackle James Hudson III, playing because Andrew Thomas was out with a foot injury, drew four penalties in a span of six plays on New York's first drive, which covered 110 yards but ended in a field goal thanks to 60 yards on six penalties.

The Giants finished with 14 penalties for 160 yards, their most yardage since getting 175 against a team called the Boston Yankees in 1947. Dallas wasn't much better, finishing with 12 penalties for 106 yards.

Nabers finished 4 yards short of his career high with 167 yards on nine catches with two TDs. Robinson did have a career high with 142 yards on eight grabs.

Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb had his fourth consecutive 100-yard game going back to last season, finishing with 112 while making two contested catches in big moments in the dramatic fourth quarter.

Wilson was 30 of 41 while finishing with the second-most passing yards of his 14-year career. Prescott was 38 of 52 for 361 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Justice Department is investigating whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements they have made, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The investigation focused on potential violation of a conspiracy statute, the people said.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a pending investigation by name.

CBS News first reported the investigation.

In response to reports of the investigation, Walz said in a statement: “Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.”

Walz’s office said it has not received any notice of an investigation.

“This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, our local law enforcement, and our residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our streets," Frey said in a statement. "I will not be intimidated. My focus will remain where it’s always been: keeping our city safe.

The investigation comes during a weekslong immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul that the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest enforcement operation, resulting in more than 2,500 arrests.

The operation has become more confrontational since the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7. State and local officials have repeatedly told protesters to remain peaceful.

State authorities, meanwhile, had a message for any weekend protests against the Trump administration’s unprecedented immigration sweep in the Twin Cities: avoid confrontation.

“While peaceful expression is protected, any actions that harm people, destroy property or jeopardize public safety will not be tolerated,” said Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

His comments came after President Donald Trump backed off a bit from his threat a day earlier to invoke an 1807 law, the Insurrection Act, to send troops to suppress demonstrations.

“I don’t think there’s any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I’d use it,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.

A Liberian man who has been shuttled in and out of custody since immigration agents broke down his door with a battering ram was released again Friday, hours after a routine check-in with authorities led to his second arrest.

The dramatic initial arrest of Garrison Gibson last weekend was captured on video. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan ruled the arrest unlawful Thursday and freed him, but Gibson was detained again Friday when he appeared at an immigration office.

A few hours later, Gibson was free again, attorney Marc Prokosch said.

“In the words of my client, he said that somebody at ICE said they bleeped up and so they re-released him this afternoon and so he’s out of custody,” Prokosch said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Gibson, 37, who fled the civil war in his West African home country as a child, had been ordered removed from the U.S., apparently because of a 2008 drug conviction that was later dismissed. He has remained in the country legally under what’s known as an order of supervision, Prokosch said, and complied with the requirement that he meet regularly with immigration authorities.

In his Thursday order, the judge agreed that officials violated regulations by not giving Gibson enough notice that his supervision status had been revoked. Prokosch said he was told by ICE that they are “now going through their proper channels" to revoke the order.

Meanwhile, tribal leaders and Native American rights organizations are advising anyone with a tribal ID to carry it with them when out in public in case they are approached by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

Native Americans across the U.S. have reported being stopped or detained by ICE, and tribal leaders are asking members to report these contacts.

Ben Barnes, chief of the Shawnee Tribe in Oklahoma and chair of the United Indian Nations of Oklahoma, called the reports “deeply concerning”.

Organizers in Minneapolis have set up application booths in the city to assist people needing a tribal ID.

Democratic members of Congress held a local meeting Friday to hear from people who say they've had aggressive encounters with immigration agents. St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, who is Hmong American, said people are walking around with their passports in case they are challenged, and she has received reports of ICE agents going from door to door “asking where the Asian people live.” Thousands of Hmong people, largely from the Southeast Asian nation of Laos, have settled in the United States since the 1970s.

Minneapolis authorities released police and fire dispatch logs and transcripts of 911 calls, all related to the fatal shooting of Good. Firefighters found what appeared to be two gunshot wounds in her right chest, one in her left forearm and a possible gunshot wound on the left side of her head, records show.

“They shot her, like, cause she wouldn’t open her car door,” a caller said. “Point blank range in her car.”

Good, 37, was at the wheel of her Honda Pilot, which was partially blocking a street. Video showed an officer approached the SUV, demanded that she open the door and grabbed the handle.

Good began to pull forward and turned the vehicle's wheel to the right. Another ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, pulled his gun and fired at close range, jumping back as the SUV moved past him. DHS claims the agent shot Good in self-defense.

FBI Director Kash Patel said at least one person has been arrested for stealing property from an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis. The SUV was among government vehicles whose windows were broken Wednesday evening. Attorney General Pam Bondi said body armor and weapons were stolen.

The destruction occurred when agents were responding to a shooting during an immigration arrest. Trump subsequently said on social media that he would invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials don’t stop the “professional agitators and insurrectionists” there.

Minnesota’s attorney general responded by saying he would sue if the president acts.
