"He's
unbelievable, " Giants guard
Chris Snee said. "He's so explosive. He's
so quick, he just runs away from
people. He unbelivable. I don't
know what else to say about the guy. "
The Giants defense sacked
Romo six times, including twice by Osi Umenyiora who returned to the lineup for the first time since spraining
an ankle late last month. Dallas' final possession ended with Romo being sacked by Justin Tuck and losing a fumble.
"We needed this win, " Umenyiora said. "This is the
biggest win we've been a
part of
for a while. "
The Giants haven't won a playoff
game
since beating the-then unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super
Bowl in 2008, and the one thing that is seemingly apparent is that this team is peaking.
Coming off a 29-14 win over the
rival Jets last week in what might have been the Giants best
game of the
season, Coughlin's team put together another outstanding 30 minutes in jumping to a 21-0 halftime lead.
Cruz, who sparked the win over the Jets' with a team-record 99-yard touchdown, made another monster play on the Giants' second offensive series, turning
a short pass into points.
Cruz caught a short square out,
eluded a tackle by Terence Newman, turned the corner after getting a seal block from Nicks and
outraced two defenders down the sideline in front of the Giants'
bench for a 7-0 lead.
Dallas
went three-and-out but had
a chance to get
right back into the game when Will Blackmon muffed a punt at near his 30-yard line
and
Alan Ball failed to recover.
Manning made Dallas pay. Manning hit Nicks for 18 yards and Devin Thomas for 14 en route on a 68-yard yard drive
that Bradshaw capped with his 5-yard run.
Safety Abram Elam had a chance to tackle
Bradshaw in the backfield and Bradshaw scooted into the end zone after he
missed.
Manning had passes of 14 and 12 yards to rookie fullback Henry Hynoski in an 80-yard touchdown drive just before the half. Bradshaw, who had a 29-yard run early in the drive, broke a tackle
by linebacker Bradie James in scoring on a 10-yard swing pass for a 21-0 lead.
