Cowboys sign Jadeveon Clowney after OT win over Giants

The Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 40-37 in overtime on Sunday at AT&T Stadium and immediately bolstered their pass rush, owner Jerry Jones said, announcing the signing of veteran edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney minutes after the win. The victory was sealed by kicker Brandon Aubrey, who drilled a 64-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to force overtime and a 46-yard game winner in OT.

The shootout exposed persistent defensive concerns for Dallas. Giants quarterback Russell Wilson completed 30 of 41 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns, and New York finished with 506 total yards. The Cowboys committed to adding help on the edge in the wake of the trade that sent Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers; Parsons has 1.5 sacks in limited action with Green Bay, while Dallas had recorded four sacks through two games entering Sunday.

Jones called Clowney a credible addition who "will add some real depth" and "help us," according to his postgame comments to reporters. Clowney, 32, visited the Cowboys earlier in the week and was a free agent after being released by the Carolina Panthers in May. He has 58 career sacks since being taken first overall in the 2014 draft...
