After the Giants tacked on another field goal, the Cowboys just responded with a 71-yard drive for a touchdown that gives them the lead with three-and-a-half minutes remaining. The Cowboys rode a strong running game down the field—they’ve got 173 yards rushing in the second half—and their one-two punch of Marion Barber and Felix Jones finished the drive with two scintillating runs.
Dallas Takes a Late Lead: Dal 31 NYG 30
The first was from Marion Barber, who broke away for a long run but pulled lame before he could reach the goalline. No matter, though, because Felix Jones sliced his way through the New York defense for the go-ahead touchdown on the very next play. Cue the music: time for Eli to be a hero.
(And did you know the Cowboys drafted David Buehler of USC to be a kickoff specialist? Because Al Michaels sure does, and he’d like to remind you every time they kick off.)
