The Cowboys arrived to the Meadowlands aknowledge that they must win because the Eagles won earlier vs the Titans. After a Cowboys 3 and out Eli has been so accurate on his passes especially on slant and crossing route for his WRs and they reached the endzone on a 3rd and goal Beckham rec TD on a slant route who got free into the Dallas zone defense. Dallas limited to just a FG thanks to a TD saving tackle by Jason PP on a Well designed toss for Murray who was trying to hot the weakest point of the Giants defense (run outside the tackles). good signs for Dallas because Romo seemed healty. Giants inability to run is not a problem because Manning started so Great and Beckham scored an amazing one handed TD catch despite a huge pass interference by the DB who was coverimg him out of a Great play action fake. The Cowboys reacted Great with a balanced drive Well finalyzed by a Witten's TD who run into the endzone after he catched a shuffle pass by Romo. Giants continue to play Great on offense drive the ball down field thanks to the first good runs of the game and an unstoppable Beckham who has been involved in every situation possible, a controversial call kept the ball on Giants hands and they scored a rushing TD with RB Williams. Both defense finished strong putting up sacks and stop the opposite offense. Cole Beasley scored the 1st 7 points of the 2nd half faking a slant and cameback to receive the pass by Romo then he avoided 3 tackles to score an over 30 yards TD. Eli has been good again to drive his team down field but he commited his 1st mistake of the game being intercepted passing to WR Parker who was runnin a crossing route, Barry Curvh pocket the ball off and returned it till midfield; the Cowboys made them pay immediately with an huge play for a receiving TD by Dez Bryant on a crossing route for over 40 yards. Beckham jr. exited the following drive after a hard hit received on his back but the Giants drove the ball well down field thanks to many 3rd down conversion by Manning who selected well the receiver to throw to an the right moment, also RB Jennings improved so much in 4th quarter and help his team to fill the absence of their go to guy, Manning ended that drive regaining the lead throwing a TD pass to TE Robinson on a goaline powerful formation rolling out on a play-action pass.
Romo's great ability to stay in the pocket moved the ball down field thanks to the awesome work by his o-line especially by Tyronn Smith vs JPP who has been a pleasurable matchup to watch all night long, Romo throw another TD to Bryant after a very effective pup fake who confused some DBs of the Giants. With 1:01 the Giants had the possession to win or tie the game but they failed a way short missing a 4th down conversion even if Beckham cameback on the field.
The Cowboys shown a great reaction to the early deficit but i expected more from them, i don't wanna say that Giants are an awful team but a team with the expectations of Dallas must dominate this kind of teams, they had a slow start and with playoffs team they couldn't have the chance to comeback. By the way their o-line is so good lead by LT Smith and RG Martin who is playing an awesome season in his rookie year and this kind of protection and blocks Dallas' offense is near to be unstoppable.
I give my personal congratulations to the Giants who played an awesome 1st half without any mistake and very good performance all game long, the best thing for them has been the great connection beyween Eli and Odell Beckham jr who played an awesome game and left everyone shocked with an unbelievable 1 handed catch for a TD. Giants' defense has been very good in the 1st half but the pressure and the problems on the offensive side tired them out and they give up too many big pays especially on passing situations.
