Game
Notes: "Wow they did it! They
actually did it! As big a fan that I am, I have to admit that I really had my
doubts. Shame on me. The Giants were down 34-22 in the fourth quarter with less
than 6 minutes left and I had my doubts. Guess what? Eli Manning completed a pass
to Jake Ballard for a touchdown and there was still 3:20 left. Now the defense
has to step up, and I'm still not so sure considering the way they've been playing,
but they do the job, getting Tony Romo off the field, 3-and-out. Manning gets
the ball back with 2:12 left and he guides the offense down to score another touchdown,
and when they go for 2, that puts them up 37-34. Romo has his chance to shine
and he actually delivers, putting his team in field goal range for a tie, but
the Giants ice their kicker with a timeout just as his 49 yard kick is good, but
it doesn't count to bring back nightmares of his game last week. The nightmare
continues for him as the next attempt is blocked by Jason Pierre-Paul who had
a tremendous overall game, and the Giants win this totally important division
game. Wow! The Giants are in first place again and I'm in heaven! Aren't you?"
Game Notes:
"The Giants had dropped four straight
and they jumped all over the chance they had to turn around their season and reclaim
first place. The Cowboys hadn't allowed more than 24 points in their last five
games, but Eli Manning was able to put the hurt on them when it counted. Victor
Cruz wasn't the big news this week. Instead it was Hakeem Nicks catching 7 passes
for 154 yards. By the way, Brandon Jacobs came alive, rushing for 101 yards on
his 19 carries and he scored two touchdowns. It was tricky to figure out where
this game was going at the end of the first half.
Tony Romo had thrown only 14 passes, but 10 of them were completions. Even better,
two of them were touchdowns and his offense had their running game on track, even
with DeMarco Murray having to leave the game. Still the Cowboys were up by only
2 points at that point and you knew that Eli Manning was capable of making the
big plays in the clutch when he needed to. That's what happened in this game and
the Giants pulled it out even though they were down by 12 points with not much
time left. As we said in the game
preview, neither team wants to be the one walking off the field with their heads
down, dejected that they let this one get away and that's what happened to the
Cowboys tonight. There are just three games left in the regular season and the
Giants have the edge now in their division. It feels good, but realistically in
the last three games they've given up 49, 38, and 34 points. You know they have
to improve their defense if they expect to get very far in post season even if
they win this NFC East Division title." Scoring:
