The beginning of December. A must win game for the New York Giants. One of the greatest games you will ever see.
The Giants (6-6) met with the division rivals, the hated Dallas Cowboys (7-5). The result was a thrilling Sunday night game that has placed the Giants one step closer to the playoffs.
It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done.
1st Quarter
Tony Romo was sacked by JPP for a safety with about 9:45 to go. 2-0 G-Men!
Shortly after, the Giants' drive ended in a 23 yard field goal by Tynes. 5-0.
John Phillips catches a 12 yarder from Romo, 7-5 after extra point.
From here it got interesting.
Brandon Jacobs runs in for a touchdown of 1 yard. 12-7 after Tynes' field goal, but Laurent Robinson answers back with a 9-yard touchdown reception from Romo. Extra point is good, 14-12 Dallas.
With just over a minute left, Lawrence Tynes makes a 26-yard field goal. 15-14 Giants! With 15 seconds left, Dan Bailey makes a 49-yard field goal to give Dallas the lead going into halftime.
3rd Quarter
With 7 minutes remaining, Dan Bailey drills another 49-yarder. 20-15 Dallas.
With 4:30 left, Mario Manningham catches a 47 yarder from Eli. Tynes' kick is good, 22-20 Giants!
4th Quarter
A bleak start with a 6 yard touchdown reception to Miles Austin and 50 yarder to Dez Bryant had me cursing at the television, as it was now 34-22. But I didn't bELIeve, so Manning and the offense helped my unbelief by completing an 8 yarder to TE Jake Ballard to leave the score at 29-34 Dallas.
But that wasn't the best part.
With just under 1:00 left, Brandon Jacobs ran for a 1-yard touchdown, followed by DJ Ware's 2-point conversion, and the Giants took a 37-34 lead.
With the win, the Giants improved to 7-6 and into a first-place tie with Dallas in the NFC East.
