          ARLINGTON, Texas -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the New York Giants' 31-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

          • There are any number of reasons the Giants have lost the two division games they've played in the past eight days, but the players don't want to hear any of them. "There's no reason to mince words," defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said. "I'm tired of losing, and I'm ready to win." The Giants will have to wait awhile to try again. Their next game is not for 15 more days, as they are on bye next week.

          • Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins left the locker room on crutches and with his right lower leg in a plastic boot. He said he "felt like he got hit with a hammer" and will have an MRI on Monday on his injured right calf.

          • Cornerback Prince Amukamara said he tried to jam Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant at the line on the play that ended up being the game-clinching touchdown. "Just a dumb move on my part," Amukamara said. "I should have just played him straight-up and pressed him. He made a great play."
