Sunday Night Game week 17

The final playoff spot is determined tonight as the New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys for NFC East supremacy. New York struck first with Eli Manning tossing a touchdown pass to Victor Cruz, who, after the catch and run, had racked up 74 yards. Lawrence Tynes made the extra point. The Giants added on in the second quarter with a 5 yard Ahmad Bradshaw touchdown rush, and Tynes was good with the extra point once again. New York would lead 21-0 at halftime after Manning found Bradshaw for a 10 yard touchdown connection, and Tynes added the PAT. Dallas got going in the third quarter with a 34 yard touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Laurent Robinson, and Dan Bailey was there to make the extra point. The Cowboys pulled even closer in the fourth quarter, as Romo found Robinson again, this time a 6 yard connection for a touchdown, and Bailey made another extra point. The Giants got some back with a 28 yard Tynes field goal. New York put it away at 31-14 with Manning tossing a 4 yard touchdown to Hakeem Nicks, and Tynes had the extra point. This was a final, and the Giants entered the playoffs as NFC East champions with a 9-7 record, while the Cowboys were 8-8.
