Giants VS Cowboys Final Score is New York Giants 37 Dallas Cowboys 34. Sports news is news that always awaited sports fans that are favored in the United States.The Dallas Cowboys and ny Giants usually place along exciting games when the 2 NFC East rivals meet, however their game on Sunday Night soccer was notably entertaining. the sport included eight lead changes, however it absolutely was the Cowboys that came out on prime within the finish as they moved nearer to a spot in playoffs with a 37-34 victory.
Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey had a 47-yard field goal try bear on the primary try, however Giants coach Tom Coughlin known as a timeout before the snap. His second try was blocked by Jason Pierre-Paul, effectively ending the sport with only 1 second left on the clock.
Preamble: this is often as massive because it gets within the regular season: 2 of the glamour names of the NFL, the the big apple Giants against the Dallas Cowboys; Sunday night football; NFC East up for grabs - if the Giants win then each groups are 7-6 and therefore the division are wide open again; if the Cowboys win then they'll be 2 games before the Giants with not a lot of of the season left (although they are doing still need to travel to the massive Apple).
So, there is lots to speak concerning there, or we have a tendency to might refer Tim Tebow. one more unbelievable comeback from the knee-posing, God-fearin', home-schoolin' Broncos quarterback. With alittle over 2 minutes left the Bears were beating the Broncos 10-0 and simply running down the clock. By the tip of traditional time it had been 10-10 and you recognize what happened in overtime. Denver have currently won six straight and are 7-1 with the QB who cannot throw - or so that they say.
Pierre-Paul was spectacular throughout, forcing an early-game safety and stripping Felix Jones to relinquish the Giants an additional possession before halftime. The second-year professional finished the sport with eight tackles and 2 sacks to travel along with his blocked field goal and strip earlier within the game.
The Giants were able to place along a formidable fourth quarter performance as Eli Manning came through within the clutch by leading the Giants to 2 touchdowns within the final four minutes once trailing 34-22 for a time. Manning finished the sport with four hundred yards passing and 2 touchdowns, however he was really higher than the statistics show.
The game-winning touchdown came when Brandon Jacobs rushed for his second touchdown from one-yard out with fifty one seconds remaining on the sport clock. Jacobs rushed rushed for one hundred and one yards and 2 touchdowns together with the game-winner, though his celebration on the star was most likely most memorable -- if no one remembers his early-game hurdle, that is.
The Cowboys were spectacular on offense as Tony Romo completed twenty of his twenty nine passing tries for 296 yards and 4 touchdowns to four completely different receivers as Miles Austin, Laurent Robinson, Dez Bryant and even tight finish John Phillips were on the receiving finish of Romo bombs.
Dallas's last touchdown from Romo to Bryant looked just like quite some of their passing touchdowns as he inexplicably found himself wide open for a 50-yard touchdown. In the end, however, the kicker could not come back through because the Giants came back to win.
The two groups can meet once more within the final week of the season, however the Giants can host the Washington Redskins next week. The Cowboys continue the road to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Saturday night.
Actual coin toss: The Cowboys won the toss and will receive. The ball goes into the end zone, a knee is taken, and the first drive of the game will begin from the Dallas 20 yard line.
Giants 0 Cowboys 0 14.05 1st Quarter: Three and out for Tony Romo and the Cowboys. Dallas are forced to punt and the ball is returned to the 34-yard line for the Giants.
Giants 0 Cowboys 0 10.21 1st Quarter: New York start confidently: Jacobs gets to the 38-yard line with a run and a hurdle that looks worthy of the 110m hurdles at London 2012. Manning is then almost intercepted by Terrence Newman - he really should have held onto it, and from there he was home free for a touchdown. Manning fails to connect on the next play, third and nine, and the Giants are forced to punt it back to the Cowboys, to the 8-yard line
Safety! Giants 2 Cowboys 0 9.42 1st Quarter: Tony Romo is forced to scramble on the first play of the next drive, ends up in his own end zone, briefly loses the ball, regains it but it's a safety. What is it with Tony Romo and December?
Giants 2 Cowboys 0 9.42 1st Quarter: Pierre-Paul is credited with the safety - his first points for the Giants. Cowboys kick the ball back to the Giants again and NY are starting from their 29-yard line again.
Field Goal: Giants 5 Cowboys 0 7.07 1st Quarter: Manning is blitzed and goes long to Nicks, who catches, carries two defenders to the four-yard line. But just four-yards out the first two attempts by Manning are overthrown to the endzone and the third play is a draw, run and Ware is stopped behind the line of scrimmage. Giants settle for a field-goal.
According to the New York Times's Judy Battista: "NBC says Ahmad Bradshaw doesn't get the start because of a violation of team rules." Giant Bradshaw is suited and booted but not involved. Yet. He may get to play later. Apparently he missed a curfew.
Giants 5 Cowboys 0 7.07 1st Quarter: Cowboys will start from the 20-yard line after another long kick into the end zone. Moving the restarts five-yards really has had a huge effect on the art of the kick-off returner.
Giants 5 Cowboys 0 5.03 1st Quarter: New star DeMarco Murray gets the drive off to a good start with strong yards running and receiving. This boy wasn't even starting at the start of the season. And then Murray goes down awkwardly and there's an injury time-out. Let's hope for his - and the Cowboys - sake he's alright because this drive alone has shown how important he has become to Dallas...
Giants 5 Cowboys 0 5.03 1st Quarter: Murray is limping from the field. He's out. Cowboys resume the drive and get a first down in midfield at their own 45-yard line.
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 5 Cowboys 7 2.49 1st Quarter: This might make the Cowboys change their plan. Indeed, the next play is a 12-yard pass. And then Jones huffs and puffs to a 22-yard run and the Cowboys are on the Giants 17 yard line. Add in a five yard penalty and they are on the 12 yard line. And then Romo goes right, throws back to the left to Phillips, who has time and space to make it to the end zone.
Giants 5 Cowboys 7 End of 1st Quarter: Oh look, the kick off went straight to the end zone and the Giants will start on the 20-yard line. Manning gets the first down with an 18-yard throw to Nicks down the left sideline. Jacobs gets the next first down with a run to the right. A Nicks reception to the right gets another first down on the Dallas 29 yard line. Are the Giants missing Bradshaw? Is it much of a punishment to be left on the sidelines in a kind-of-we-don't-need-you-but-we'll-put-you-in-when-it-turns-out-we-do kind of way?....
Giants 5 Cowboys 7 - 12.49 2nd Quarter: Now the Giants running game starts to miss Bradshaw as it stutters close to the line, but an interference call - nowhere near the ball - gives New York a second chance, with the ball placed on the one-yard line...
TOUCHDOWN Giants 12 Cowboys 7 - 12.45 2nd Quarter: Brandon Jacobs runs the ball through a neat little hole in the Cowboys defence and NY are back in front.
Giants 12 Cowboys 7 - 9.05 2nd Quarter: And so Dallas start from their own 20-yard line. Jones is now the main man as Murray gets x-rays on his ankle, he gets a five-yard run and another couple with a short reception, before getting the first down with another run. Full back Fiametta gets the next first down with a 10-yard reception. Back to Jones for the next first down, a run, taking the Cowboys to the Giants' 40-yard line...
TOUCHDOWN Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - 6.26 2nd Quarter: Felix Jones runs again - he's going to see plenty of work tonight - and the Cowboys are inside the 30. Another scampering, jinking, stuttering run by Jones gets the first down at the 15-yard line. Romo rolls to the right and throws into the end zone to Laurent Robinson, unmarked, and Dallas are back in the lead.
Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - 3.34 2nd Quarter: The Giants start on their own 20-yard line. A 16-yard throw to Cruz picks up the first first down. Jacobs runs for another first down but a holding call puts the Giants back onto their 31-yard line for a first and 15, making life difficult. They look like they will get out of the fix when Manning throws long to Cruz but he fluffs a relatively simple catch. And then NYG are saved by a Dallas holding call and an automatic first down. New York on their own 40-yard line....
Meanwhile, there are reports coming out of Miami that head coach Tony Sparano is to be fired, but general manager Jeff Ireland's job is safe. The Dolphins have been on a bit of a revival of late, but were beaten by the Eagles today.
Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - Two minute warning 2nd Quarter: Giants are persisting with the running game despite Bradshaw's absence - 14 carries for 55 yards at this point. Giants have a 3rd and 3 on the 44 yard line...
Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - 1.38 2nd Quarter: But a Manning throw on third down goes agonisingly beyond Newman who falls, tangling feet and the Giants will have to punt it back to Dallas. The ball is on the 6-yard line from the kick and is then moved to the 3-yard line (half-the-distance-to-the-goal) when a fair catch call is made, the ball is allowed to bounce but a block is made by Bryant. Unsportsmanlike conduct. Looks very much like he didn't even know that that is the rule.
Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - 1.18 2nd Quarter: Jones runs the first play of the Dallas drive but then loses the ball like a piece of soap as he's tackled by Pierre-Paul, the Giants get the ball back and are now on the Dallas 13 yard line
Giants 12 Cowboys 14 - 1.12 2nd Quarter: Giants start on the Dallas 14 yard line try a pass (incomplete), a run (6-yards) and before they can make their third attempt Dallas call a time. Icing!
FIELD GOAL: Giants 15 Cowboys 14 - 1.07 2nd Quarter: And the third attempt to reach the end zone (or at least get a first down) just fails and the Giants have to settle for a 36-yard field goal.
Giants 15 Cowboys 14 - 0.34 2nd Quarter: Guess what: the Cowboys will start on their own 20-yard line. A short pass form Romo gains six-yards, but then Robinson collects a long pass and gets to the Giants' 35-yard line, and a timeout is called to give the Cowboys another chance to score. How many times has the lead changed hands already?
FIELD GOAL Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 0.15 2nd Quarter: But the Cowboys can't get enough yards for a 7-pointer and have to settle for a 49-yard field goal attempt and Bailey's kick is good for the fifth lead change of the half.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - Half Time: The Manning takes a knee and that is half-time.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 13.39 3rd Quarter: Bradshaw is in for the second half and is involved in the first offensive play of the half, for a short pass. That half-time wasn't long enough as I'm still eating a bagel here. But on 3rd and 2 on their own 33-yard line Dallas call a timeout. I presume there was a reason for that, but not sure what it was. Maybe Jason Garrett just felt like it.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 12.53 3rd Quarter: Giants fail to make it and have to punt away. Bryant catches on his 18-yard line and makes a few. Dallas have the ball.
My colleague David Lengel emails: "If I wasn't a Giants fan I would have turned off this shit show a long time ago. Have you ever seen a game this tight, an elimination game for one of the teams, be so god damn awful? I would rather watch Press TV." Is this not a thriller, David?
FIELD GOAL! Giants 15 Cowboys 20 - 7.42 3rd Quarter: Cowboys make steady progress to midfield and then further, but the Romo passes aren't connecting in the danger area and Dallas have to settle for a 49-yard field goal attempt.
Jersey boy @twayward tweets with some ominous thoughts for Cowboys fans: "@Busfield Assume Ahmad Bradshaw plays & gives #Giants spark in 2nd half. 4th qtr is time when Eli rises & Romo falls."
Giants 15 Cowboys 20 - 5.53 3rd Quarter: Giants start on their own 15-yard line. Ware and Nicks take a couple of passes for the first down. Announcement that there are 95,952 at tonight's game. Jacobs rumbles up the middle and the Giants are into midfield, but with a third-down-and-four, Manning calls a timeout....
So, to return to Charleston's question: Well, I was pretty hard on Atlanta's Dunta Robinson when he did something very similar earlier this season.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 4.30 3rd Quarter: Giants get the first down, but on the next play Manning throws the ball away and NY have a 2nd & 22 on their own 35. Nicks gets an 18-yard reception. Next play an all-out blitz Manningham receives the ball 25-yards out with no Dallas players anywhere near him and strolls home. Touchdown!
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 4.30 3rd Quarter: David Lengel's verdict on that one: "Eli has a knack for finding the open man." That one really wasn't so much found as gift-wrapped.
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 1.34 3rd Quarter: Cowboys bimble up to midfield, then make their lives trickier with a false start penalty to make 3rd & 4, 3rd & 9, Romo is sacked by P-P and the drive is over. Punt back to NY who will start on their 20-yard line
Charleston emails: "Bradshaw is looking like a genius for getting benched early… I wouldn't want anything to do with this game either." Except you and he are both in the game now, Charleston.
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - End of 3rd Quarter: Bradshaw jinks past the blitz for a first down at the NY 32-yard line. And with the Giants on a 3rd & 2 that's the end of the third quarter
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 14.14 4th Quarter: Bradshaw is hit by Ratliffe behind the line of scrimmage and the Giants are forced to punt. The Giants special team tries to stop it at the one-yard line, but fail and the ball goes to the Dallas 20-yard line.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 12.43 4th Quarter: Romo throws long to Robinson and suddenly, from stuttering inside their own 20, the Cowboys are on the Giants 1-yard line. Next play he throws to Austin and it's a TD.
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 12.43 4th Quarter: My colleague David Lengel tweets: "Romo has a knack for finding the open man." The Giants are behind again and on their own 20-yard line again...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 9.35 4th Quarter: Bradshaw carries several defenders on his back to get the first first down of a drive. Cruz gets a six yard reception on the next play. Jacobs runs 19-yards for the next first down - the last five yards with four defenders hanging onto him. Giants now on the Cowboys 44-yard line...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 7.44 4th Quarter: After two runs fail to get the 10, a long throw to the end zone is batted away by Cowboy Jenkins, bringing up 4th & 3. Manning connects with Manningham and the Giants are on the Dallas 20 yard line...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 6.35 4th Quarter: A pass misses, a run fails and it's 3rd & 9 on the 22, but Manning's pass is tipped by Butler, bobbles, Cowboy's Lee grabs it and runs the ball back to midfield. Giant nightmare. Happy break for Dallas.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 5.41 4th Quarter: The Giants were surely going to get at least a field goal but now they have to halt this Cowboy drive...but Romo immediately finds Bryant wide open, and it's a 49-yard touchdown.
Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 5.41 4th Quarter: That might be curtains for the Giants - unless Eli Manning does his best Eli Manning (or Tim Tebow) impersonation. The Giants have had a lot of last quarter comeback wins this season. But they need two TDs in less than six minutes. Tall order.
Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 3.33 4th Quarter: Giants begin driving downfield, but time is sucked out of the game by smothered runs and then Manning connects with Cruz on a 30-yard pass to the Dallas 37-yard line. Is there time? My colleague has his doubts:
Lengel tweets: "Too bad, I really do like Coughlin.
Charleston has been reading my link: "Nice recipe on the Dunta Robinson article, I'll have to try it next weekend. (In all seriousness though, thanks for your commentary & have a good holiday)." Aha, thanks for reminding me, Charleston, about time we had some more tailgating recipes in Five Things We Learned In The NFL This Week.
TOUCHDOWN OR NOT? Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: Manning connects on a 24-yard throw to Nicks on the 7-yard line, takes the catch, keeps his feet in-bounds, and then MAnning connects with Ballard who catches on the line and a touchdown is awarded. But now there's a review....
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: On-field ruling stands, extra point is added, is there time for NYG to come back?
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: Giants spurn the on-side kick and Dallas have the ball on their own 20-yard line...
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 2.12 4th Quarter: Giants use a timeout to stop the clock as the Cowboys try the run. And then the Cowboys see the blitz, have a man wide open and Romo misses him, and the Cowboys are forced to punt. A short kick means the Giants have the ball at their own 40-yard line. 95,000 people have gone pretty quiet.
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - Two minute warning 4th Quarter: Short pass to Ballard takes the ball to the Cowboys 38-yard line. Two minute warning. As Paddy O'Doors tweets: "@Busfield eli should get it just when he likes it. game on the line. there to be taken."
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 1.27 4th Quarter: Two minutes left, one timeout left, Giants have 38 yards to go. And then a comically low snap and bobbling ball looks like NY disaster, and then DeMarcus Ware is penalised for infringing and suddenly the Giants only have five yards to go. They get a first down. And then Manningham looks like he is going to make a game-winning catch and fumbles in the end zone. 2nd & 10 on 24-yard line...
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 1.00 4th Quarter: Another defensive penalty and then Manning throws to Ballard on the goalline. First and goal on the one yard line and now Dallas calls a timeout. They may need the time...
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 35 Cowboys 34 - 0.51 4th Quarter: Jacobs tries to run the ball in but is stopped. And the Cowboys have to call another timeout. Next time Jacobs drives in for the touchdown. And will the Giants go for a two-point conversion...
TWO POINT CONVERSION! Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.46 4th Quarter: Ware gets home and the Cowboys need a field goal just to tie....
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.29 4th Quarter: Romo starts on his own 20. Cowboys get their kicker warmed up. Big throw and Austin gets to the 42-yard line...
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.06 4th Quarter: Jones gets to the 48-yard line and gets out of bounds. Romo throws to Austin on the 30-yard line. Romo spikes the ball. Cowboys have a 47-yard field goal chance. Bailey makes the kick but the Giants ice him!! Timeout...
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.01 4th Quarter: Bailey under pressure after last week's missed/iced kick...47 yards out...and the kick is blocked!
FINAL SCORE Giants 37 Cowboys 34: Pierre-Paul tips the kick, saves the day. The Giants and the Cowboys are now both 7-6. NFC East is wide open.

FIELD GOAL Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 0.15 2nd Quarter: But the Cowboys can't get enough yards for a 7-pointer and have to settle for a 49-yard field goal attempt and Bailey's kick is good for the fifth lead change of the half.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - Half Time: The Manning takes a knee and that is half-time.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 13.39 3rd Quarter: Bradshaw is in for the second half and is involved in the first offensive play of the half, for a short pass. That half-time wasn't long enough as I'm still eating a bagel here. But on 3rd and 2 on their own 33-yard line Dallas call a timeout. I presume there was a reason for that, but not sure what it was. Maybe Jason Garrett just felt like it.
Giants 15 Cowboys 17 - 12.53 3rd Quarter: Giants fail to make it and have to punt away. Bryant catches on his 18-yard line and makes a few. Dallas have the ball.
My colleague David Lengel emails: "If I wasn't a Giants fan I would have turned off this shit show a long time ago. Have you ever seen a game this tight, an elimination game for one of the teams, be so god damn awful? I would rather watch Press TV." Is this not a thriller, David?
FIELD GOAL! Giants 15 Cowboys 20 - 7.42 3rd Quarter: Cowboys make steady progress to midfield and then further, but the Romo passes aren't connecting in the danger area and Dallas have to settle for a 49-yard field goal attempt.
Jersey boy @twayward tweets with some ominous thoughts for Cowboys fans: "@Busfield Assume Ahmad Bradshaw plays & gives #Giants spark in 2nd half. 4th qtr is time when Eli rises & Romo falls."
Giants 15 Cowboys 20 - 5.53 3rd Quarter: Giants start on their own 15-yard line. Ware and Nicks take a couple of passes for the first down. Announcement that there are 95,952 at tonight's game. Jacobs rumbles up the middle and the Giants are into midfield, but with a third-down-and-four, Manning calls a timeout....
So, to return to Charleston's question: Well, I was pretty hard on Atlanta's Dunta Robinson when he did something very similar earlier this season.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 4.30 3rd Quarter: Giants get the first down, but on the next play Manning throws the ball away and NY have a 2nd & 22 on their own 35. Nicks gets an 18-yard reception. Next play an all-out blitz Manningham receives the ball 25-yards out with no Dallas players anywhere near him and strolls home. Touchdown!
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 4.30 3rd Quarter: David Lengel's verdict on that one: "Eli has a knack for finding the open man." That one really wasn't so much found as gift-wrapped.
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 1.34 3rd Quarter: Cowboys bimble up to midfield, then make their lives trickier with a false start penalty to make 3rd & 4, 3rd & 9, Romo is sacked by P-P and the drive is over. Punt back to NY who will start on their 20-yard line
Charleston emails: "Bradshaw is looking like a genius for getting benched early… I wouldn't want anything to do with this game either." Except you and he are both in the game now, Charleston.
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - End of 3rd Quarter: Bradshaw jinks past the blitz for a first down at the NY 32-yard line. And with the Giants on a 3rd & 2 that's the end of the third quarter
Giants 22 Cowboys 20 - 14.14 4th Quarter: Bradshaw is hit by Ratliffe behind the line of scrimmage and the Giants are forced to punt. The Giants special team tries to stop it at the one-yard line, but fail and the ball goes to the Dallas 20-yard line.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 12.43 4th Quarter: Romo throws long to Robinson and suddenly, from stuttering inside their own 20, the Cowboys are on the Giants 1-yard line. Next play he throws to Austin and it's a TD.
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 12.43 4th Quarter: My colleague David Lengel tweets: "Romo has a knack for finding the open man." The Giants are behind again and on their own 20-yard line again...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 9.35 4th Quarter: Bradshaw carries several defenders on his back to get the first first down of a drive. Cruz gets a six yard reception on the next play. Jacobs runs 19-yards for the next first down - the last five yards with four defenders hanging onto him. Giants now on the Cowboys 44-yard line...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 7.44 4th Quarter: After two runs fail to get the 10, a long throw to the end zone is batted away by Cowboy Jenkins, bringing up 4th & 3. Manning connects with Manningham and the Giants are on the Dallas 20 yard line...
Giants 22 Cowboys 27 - 6.35 4th Quarter: A pass misses, a run fails and it's 3rd & 9 on the 22, but Manning's pass is tipped by Butler, bobbles, Cowboy's Lee grabs it and runs the ball back to midfield. Giant nightmare. Happy break for Dallas.
TOUCHDOWN Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 5.41 4th Quarter: The Giants were surely going to get at least a field goal but now they have to halt this Cowboy drive...but Romo immediately finds Bryant wide open, and it's a 49-yard touchdown.
Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 5.41 4th Quarter: That might be curtains for the Giants - unless Eli Manning does his best Eli Manning (or Tim Tebow) impersonation. The Giants have had a lot of last quarter comeback wins this season. But they need two TDs in less than six minutes. Tall order.
Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 3.33 4th Quarter: Giants begin driving downfield, but time is sucked out of the game by smothered runs and then Manning connects with Cruz on a 30-yard pass to the Dallas 37-yard line. Is there time? My colleague has his doubts:
Lengel tweets: "Too bad, I really do like Coughlin.
Charleston has been reading my link: "Nice recipe on the Dunta Robinson article, I'll have to try it next weekend. (In all seriousness though, thanks for your commentary & have a good holiday)." Aha, thanks for reminding me, Charleston, about time we had some more tailgating recipes in Five Things We Learned In The NFL This Week.
TOUCHDOWN OR NOT? Giants 22 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: Manning connects on a 24-yard throw to Nicks on the 7-yard line, takes the catch, keeps his feet in-bounds, and then MAnning connects with Ballard who catches on the line and a touchdown is awarded. But now there's a review....
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: On-field ruling stands, extra point is added, is there time for NYG to come back?
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 3.14 4th Quarter: Giants spurn the on-side kick and Dallas have the ball on their own 20-yard line...
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 2.12 4th Quarter: Giants use a timeout to stop the clock as the Cowboys try the run. And then the Cowboys see the blitz, have a man wide open and Romo misses him, and the Cowboys are forced to punt. A short kick means the Giants have the ball at their own 40-yard line. 95,000 people have gone pretty quiet.
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - Two minute warning 4th Quarter: Short pass to Ballard takes the ball to the Cowboys 38-yard line. Two minute warning. As Paddy O'Doors tweets: "@Busfield eli should get it just when he likes it. game on the line. there to be taken."
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 1.27 4th Quarter: Two minutes left, one timeout left, Giants have 38 yards to go. And then a comically low snap and bobbling ball looks like NY disaster, and then DeMarcus Ware is penalised for infringing and suddenly the Giants only have five yards to go. They get a first down. And then Manningham looks like he is going to make a game-winning catch and fumbles in the end zone. 2nd & 10 on 24-yard line...
Giants 29 Cowboys 34 - 1.00 4th Quarter: Another defensive penalty and then Manning throws to Ballard on the goalline. First and goal on the one yard line and now Dallas calls a timeout. They may need the time...
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 35 Cowboys 34 - 0.51 4th Quarter: Jacobs tries to run the ball in but is stopped. And the Cowboys have to call another timeout. Next time Jacobs drives in for the touchdown. And will the Giants go for a two-point conversion...
TWO POINT CONVERSION! Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.46 4th Quarter: Ware gets home and the Cowboys need a field goal just to tie....
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.29 4th Quarter: Romo starts on his own 20. Cowboys get their kicker warmed up. Big throw and Austin gets to the 42-yard line...
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.06 4th Quarter: Jones gets to the 48-yard line and gets out of bounds. Romo throws to Austin on the 30-yard line. Romo spikes the ball. Cowboys have a 47-yard field goal chance. Bailey makes the kick but the Giants ice him!! Timeout...
Giants 37 Cowboys 34 - 0.01 4th Quarter: Bailey under pressure after last week's missed/iced kick...47 yards out...and the kick is blocked!
FINAL SCORE Giants 37 Cowboys 34: Pierre-Paul tips the kick, saves the day. The Giants and the Cowboys are now both 7-6. NFC East is wide open.
