The NY Football Giants beat The Dallas Cowboys 33-31 in their spanking billion dollar stadium. Tony Romo had a horrible day while Eli Manning had a great one.

New York still experienced many issues in the Red Zone and truly made this a closer game than it should have been. Lawrence Tynes missed an easy field goal and NY failed to score touchdowns in the red zone on 3 occasions coming away with only field goals.

Tony Romo was not sacked but did feel the pressure which led to 3 interceptions. His stats were terrible 13-29 for 127 yards. Surprisingly enough Dallas was able to stop the Giants potent running game but they could not stop Eli Manning and his young receiving core most notably Mario Manningham and Steve Smith who both had 10 catches and over 100 yards and each scored a touchdown.

Eli Manning was 25-38, threw for 330 yards and 2 touchdowns. He led Big Blue down the field in the last two minutes and helped position them for the game winning field goal by Lawrence Tynes. Let us not forget the great job the New York offensive line did in this game, they created very nice pockets and provided ample time for Eli so that he could pick the Cowboys defense apart.

Kenny Phillips was a standout on the defensive side with 2 interceptions and so was Bruce Johnson who intercepted a ball from Tony and ran it back for a defensive touchdown.

This was an impressive win for the Giants, they were missing 6 starters, including key players in Aaron Ross, Kevin Dockery and Chris Canty. They silenced 105,000+ in Dallas on Sunday night.

Mario Manningham had a great touchdown catch vs The Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. This kid is quickly establishing himself as the go to wide receiver for the NY Giants.

Really nice touchdown score by Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham this past Sunday against the Washington Redskins. A short pass from Eli Manning and Super Mario does the rest, he made Fred Smoot look pretty silly in this play.
