Giants Vs. Cowboys: Eli Manning's Performance In Win Earns Praise

The New York Giants got a huge win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night to wrest back control of the NFC East, and no one figured more prominently in the victory than Eli Manning. The Giants quarterback threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns, and led two drives late in the fourth quarter to bring New York back from a 12-point deficit on the road.

The Giants are rather pleased to have Manning under center, if their post-game quotes are any indication:

"We have a great quarterback," running back Brandon Jacobs said. "If you ask me he's the best in the business when our backs are against the wall and we need a score. He's never let me down.

"I believe in him. I believe in our offense, I believe in our coaches and they got it done."

Tom Coughlin also found Eli's resilience after a nutty interception impressive.

"He was really upset over the interception, but he comes right back," Coughlin said. "He comes right back and takes the field and away we go. He obviously made some great plays coming down the stretch."

Manning has 14 passing touchdowns in the fourth quarter this season, tying an NFL record that his brother Peyton shares, and has also led six fourth quarter comebacks. The only season in which Eli has had three fourth quarter comebacks? 2007. And three of those comebacks in the Giants' Super Bowl season came in the playoffs.

VIDEO: Dez Bryant Gets Wide Open For Touchdown As Defenses Continues To Get Beat Deep

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants might need to re-evaluate their secondaries after their game on Sunday Night Football. Dez Bryant found himself wide open behind the Giants defense to catch a 50-yard touchdown pass from Tony Romo, extending the Cowboys lead to 34-22 midway through the fourth quarter.

Bryant's long bomb of a touchdown pass followed up similar deep receiving gaffes from each team as teammate Laurent Robinson hauled in a long bomb of his own to set up the Cowboys' last touchdown and the Giants' Mario Manningham did the same on a previous possession as well. Hakeem Nicks also found himself open for a 64-yard reception earlier in the game.

Bryant's touchdown was only his first reception of the game, and a quiet one at that considering his lone punt return went for just 10 yards. Tony Romo has been working to pass the ball around, however, as he's connected with eight different players on his way to 270 yards and four touchdowns.

VIDEO: Miles Austin Returns With A Touchdown In Cowboys Game Vs. Giants

Miles Austin hadn't played for the Dallas Cowboys since a Nov. 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a hamstring injury. He wasted no time getting back to his touchdown-scoring ways, however, as his catch from Tony Romo put the Cowboys up 27-22 in the fourth quarter of their game on Sunday Night Football.

The New York Giants gave up the third 80-plus yard drive of the game to the Cowboys, ending in Austin's touchdown catch, but it was set up by another long bomb from Romo to fellow wide receiver Laurent Robinson.

Robinson was essentially Austin's replacement in the Cowboys offense while the latter dealt with his hamstring injury so it was unclear exactly how they'd coincide upon Austin's return. It doesn't seem to be a problem thus far as both have caught touchdowns on Sunday night. Even though Robinson has far more yards (137 to 18), both have been targeted five times by Romo.

Giants Vs. Cowboys Score: Mario Manningham Takes Advantage Of Cowboys Defense

Mario Manningham kind of took a backseat to his New York Giants wide receivers in the first half as he was targeted just once by quarterback Eli Manning, but that all changed midway through the third quarter. The Giants now lead 22-20 following the sixth lead change of the game.

Manningham took advantage of a Cowboys defense that was late to get on the field, late to set up and obviously late to find out that Manningham was wide open by the time he hauled in his 47-yard touchdown pass.

Manningham's touchdown catch improved Manning's statistics quite a bit, too, as Manning has now thrown for 244 yards and a touchdown while completing 15 of his 28 passing attempts. Aside from Manningham, Hakeem Nicks has been Manning's top option with six receptions for 130 yards.

Cowboys Re-Take Lead With Laurent Robinson Touchdown From Tony Romo

Laurent Robinson took over for the Dallas Cowboys as Miles Austin was out due to injury, but even with Austin back in the lineup for their game against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, the veteran was able to find the end zone. Tony Romo connected with Robinson midway through the second quarter to give the Cowboys a 14-12 lead.

Robinson has just one reception and one target thus far in the game, but he made it count as it ended with a trip to the end zone. The video below will show just exactly how it happened.

Following Romo's safety on the Cowboys' first possession of the game, the Dallas quarterback has completed seven of his nine passing attempts for 55 yards and a pair of scores. This game might not end up as ugly as it started for the Cowboys quarterback after all.

Giants Vs. Cowboys Score: Tony Romo Gives Dallas First Lead Of Night

The Dallas Cowboys lost a running back when the DeMarco Murray injury happened early on in their first offensive possession following Tony Romo being sacked in the end zone for a safety, but that won't hurt their passing game. Romo found third-year pro John Phillips for a touchdown to take the 7-5 lead.

Romo connected with Phillips on a 12-yard touchdown pass on what amounted to basically being a tight end bubble screen as Phillips had plenty of blockers ready to escort him into the end zone. It was the first touchdown of Phillips' NFL career.

Tony Romo has completed three of his five passing attempts for 30 yards and the above touchdown. It won't make people forget about the safety he took earlier in the game, but that will all change too if Dallas is able to build on their new lead.

Giants Vs. Cowboys Score: Tony Romo Sacked For Safety To Give New York Early Lead

The New York Giants ended punting on their first possession of the game, but surprisingly, they still escaped with the first points during the Sunday Night Football game of the week. The Dallas Cowboys helped them out quite a bit, however, as Tony Romo ended up basically running into the end zone for a safety.

Romo started the possession on his own six yard line, but after pressure from Jason Pierre-Paul, the quarterback stumbled a bit into the end zone and ended up gifting the Giants two points and an early lead.

On the Giants following possession, Eli Manning connected on a long bomb to Hakeem Nicks for 64 yards before the offense began to stall.

Manning and company had three plays to attempt getting into the end zone following what looked to basically be a Hail Mary pass, but instead had to settle for a 5-0 lead following Lawrence Tynes hitting a 23-yard field goal.
