Well, it took him two tries—when will the NFL change that stupid rule?—but Lawerence Tynes nailed a game-winning 29-yard field goal to beat the Cowboys as the clock expired. He was just barely successful on his first attempt, only to find out that the Cowboys had called timeout right before the snap. On his second?
As Time Expires: NYG 33 Dal 31
Right down the middle and perfect. And that sums up Eli’s performance on the final drive, as well. With a series of 10-15 yard completions, Eli slowly picked apart the Dallas defense to bring the Giants into field goal range. And just like that, New York takes sole ownership of first place in the NFC East.
Still, Dallas fans can take solace in a dominant rushing performance against one of the league’s better defenses. Surely, that’s a good sign, right? And Tony Romo struggled, yes, but… I’m too tired and depressed by this loss to talk myself into Tony Romo tonight. The running game looked great for Dallas, and the defense had its moments, but the Cowboys success hinges on Romo. Tonight, at least, he was disappointing.
Still, how ‘bout that ‘dere scoreboard?!
