Giants roll past Cowboys, 31-24
The New York Giants picked up a critical home victory with a 31-24 win over the rival Dallas Cowboys.
After losing in embarassing fashion to the Denver Broncos 10 days earlier, the Giants knew they had to rebound in a big way.
In danger of falling out of the division and wild card hunts, the Giants knocked off the current NFC East leader.
Running back Brandon Jacobs had a 74-yard touchdown reception and Domenik Hixon had a punt return for a touchdown.
Quarterback Eli Manning continues to struggle, but the Giants found a way to overcome it.
