ANIMATED: Brandon Jacobs Hurdles The Cowboys

The New York Giants ended their first possession on Sunday Night Football with a punt to the Dallas Cowboys. That doesn't mean awesome things didn't happen on that first drive, however -- we're looking at you Brandon Jacobs.

Jacobs, all 250 pounds of him, hurdled a Dallas Cowboys player to pick up the first down early on in the drive. It sounds crazy, but animated evidence is shown below.
