The New York Giants may have finally caught a break on offense in the second half of the 2012 NFC Championship Game. It's just not really the one the Giants would have wanted — Tarell Brown and Dashon Goldson collided while looking to haul in an interception from Eli Manning, giving the Giants a chance to pun rather than forcing them to defend the Niners on a short field.

The collision was a nasty one, and left Brown down on the field for several minutes.

But while a stretcher was readied for Brown, he eventually made it off the field with assistance.

After a strong first half that ended with Victor Cruz carving up the Niners, the Giants have stalled in the second half, and have failed to make it into 49ers territory so far.
