Ivanka Trump Photo Gallery A perfect 16-0 regular season won't mean squat if the Patriots don't win their next three games and another Super Bowl. And it seems to me that they have been playing worse each week. "We've been dealing with being undefeated all season," Brady said "It was kind of a strange game. It really doesn't mean much to either team, but it means a lot." New England became the first NFL team since the 1972 Dolphins to win every game on thier (WEAK ASS) schedule, and that one was only 14-0. This victory required a Brady-engineered comeback from a 12-point deficit and smashed the Patriots' league mark for consecutive victories. Cheap Seats! - Giants Tickets at NYCash.com.

"Hats off to us," said record-setting receiver Randy Moss, who caught Brady's 65-yard bomb for the go-ahead score that set two major records. "I know a lot of people didn't think we were going to do it. A lot of people didn't want us to do it. "In this game of football, it's hard to go 16-and-0. As a football player and a fan of the game, my hat's off to this organization." In gaining their 19th straight win over two seasons, the Patriots went on top on Brady's 50th touchdown pass of the year and Moss' 23rd TD reception. Both records that came with 11:06 remaining. Tom Brady beat Peyton Manning's mark of 49 touchdown passes and Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 TD receptions. And the Patriots finished with an incredible 589 points for the season, another single-season record (with a weak ass schedule). Once the victory was clinched, Belichick was barely more animated than usual. He shared hugs with players and assistant coaches on the sideline, but there was no thought of carrying him off on the Patriots' shoulders or dumping Gatorade all over him. "It's a great feeling," Belichick admitted. "Now is the time to take a day or two and appreciate what this team has done, but at the same time we have our biggest game of the year coming up. Pretty soon we need to turn the page and move on." 
Isabeli Fontana Photo Gallery "We didn't win the game, but if you saw everybody in the locker room, everybody was excited," Manning said. "I never saw a locker room so upbeat after a loss because we played so well, did some good things and hung in there in a game where we didn't have to play. We wanted to. We wanted to come out and play well, and we did that." The New York Giants (10-6), already guaranteed a playoff game against Tampa Bay next weekend and with little to play for except spoiling New England's perfect ride, led 28-16 in the third quarter. It was the Patriots' largest deficit all year as the Giants showed no fear and plenty of versatility, scoring the most points New England allowed in a game during this remarkable run. Manning threw for four touchdowns and Domenik Hixon, in his first game as New York's primary kick returner, went 74 yards for a score 11 seconds after Brady and Moss tied their respective records. Brady dropping back, winding up and hitting a wide-open Moss in stride for a touchdown. The final go-ahead TD in their perfect year. "What I'm most proud of is playing a playoff team on the road that was playing extremely hard," Brady said. "We found a way to come back and win. We did the same thing at Dallas. We did the same thing at Indy. We've been in some tough games. Cheap Seats! - Giants Tickets at NYCash.com. Get Great Playoff Tickets now!
"Everyone is going to enjoy this one. It happens once every 35 years." at the same building where they were caught videotaping New York Jets assistant coaches in Week 1, a rules violation that cost Belichick and the franchise $750,000 in fines and a 2008 first-round draft choice. That made Belichick even more close-mouthed and dour than usual, and his team followed his lead -- right to 16-0. The Giants opened the game as if they were, well, the Patriots, driving 74 yards, sparked by a 52-yard completion on which Plaxico Burress outleapt Ellis Hobbs for Manning's jump-ball throw. Brandon Jacobs broke Tedy Bruschi's tackle to score on a 7-yard reception for a 7-0 lead. Naturally, the Patriots, the highest-scoring team in NFL history, struck back. After Stephen Gostkowski's 37-yard field goal, New England went on top -- and surpassed Minnesota's league mark of 556 points -- on the record-tying 4-yard TD pass from Brady to Moss, who soared above rookie Aaron Ross for the score. The 10-7 lead lasted all of 11 seconds. The usually staid Patriots gathered around Moss as he did a dance in the end zone, prompting a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty. Belichick argued the call with referee Mike Carey, perhaps sensing how costly it might be. It was as Hixon sped 74 yards untouched to lift the Giants back in front. Eli Manning, coming off several rough games, lead a quick 85-yard drive that included a rare scramble for 11 yards just before he found Kevin Boss in the middle of the end zone with 13 seconds remaining. The 21-16 deficit was only the second time New England has trailed at halftime this season; the other was to the older Manning and the Colts. But with such a potent offense, the Patriots never are out of any game. Once they got the lead, they closed it out with another touchdown drive, Maroney scoring from the 5. Manning hit Burress again from 3 yards with 1:04 to go, but New England recovered the onside kick. Tom Brady finished 32-for-42 for 356 yards, while Manning was 22-for-32 for 251 yards and the only interception.

Sunday, December 30 New Orleans 1:00 pm Buy Tickets FOX David Akers blew it big time and buried his head in his hands while the New York Giants partied all around him. Eli Manning threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress and Lawrence Tynes made three key field goals and the NY Giants moved that much closer to clinching a playoff spot with a sweet 16-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Akers hit the right upright on a 57-yard attempt with one second left after Donovan McNabb finally woke up and drove the Eagles 50 yards in the final minute. The Eagles are not good. The NY Giants (9-4) have all but eliminated the Eagles from playoff contention with their sixth consecutive win on the road. New York is a slam duck for the No. 5 seed in the conference with 3 games left. The defending NFC East champion Eagles can start looking forward to gold now following their third straight loss and fifth loss by four points or less. Ole D. McNabb hasnt played since spraining his right ankle in the second quarter against Miami and A.J. Feeley led the Eagles to a win over the Dolphins, but threw costly interceptions in the final minutes of losses to New England and Seattle. After McNabb led the he Eagles into the end zone on their first possession, they managed just a pair of field goals the rest of the game. The Ny Giants were driving to put the game away when defensive end Juqua Thomas came from behind and forced Brandon Jacobs to fumble following a 21-yard gain. Thomas recovered it at the Eagles 5 with 5:51 left. Philly drove to New York's 44, but McNabb's pass to Jason Avant on fourth-and-6 was incomplete and the Eagles didn't get the ball again until the final minute. It appeared linebacker Antonio Pierce hit Avant early, but no flag was thrown. With no timeouts and 53 seconds remaining, McNabb moved the Eagles from their 11 to the Giants 39, but Akers couldn't send it into overtime and missed the 50+ field goal. 
Grace Park Photo Gallery New York pounched on a fumble by surehanded Brian Westbrook in the third quarter to take their first lead. Justin Tuck forced Westbrook to fumble and gave the Giants the ball at the Eagles 37. Westbrook hadn't lost a fumble since Week 5 of last season. "It was a bad situation to turn the ball over," Westbrook said. "As a leader, you can't have that. I really hurt the club." Eli Manning finally found the end zone for the first time. A 19-yard catch by Amani Toomer set up the 20-yard scoring pass to Burress that put New York ahead 13-10. The Giants tied an NFL record by sacking McNabb 12 times in week 4, including six by THE MAN - Osi Umenyiora, in a 16-3 win. This time they didn't bring McNabb down until Umenyiora sacked him in the 3rd quarter. McNabb had better protection but everyone was covered this time. He finished 20-of-30 for a weakass 179 yards, one TD and no turnovers. Westbrook ran for 116 yards. Manning was mediocore and went 17-of-31 for 219 yards and one TD. Burress turned in another hot fantasy performance and caught seven passes for 136 yards. McNabb started off really hot and completed all three of his passes during a 68-yard opening drive. The Eagles had a great chance after Omar Gaither forced Jacobs to fumble immediately after a catch. Mike Patterson recovered and returned it 12 yards to the Giants 8. New York was stuffed in the second quarter after a sweet 35-yard run by Reuben Droughns and ended up with the ball at the Philadelphia 1. But the Eagles man'd up and made four stops at the goal line and Tynes hit a 19-yarder to cut it to 7-3. Sunday, December 23 Green Bay 1:00 pm Buy Tickets FOX

Sunday, December 30 New Orleans 1:00 pm Buy Tickets FOX CHICAGO (AP) -- Eli Manning's second pass landed in Brian Urlacher's hands. There was a fumble that led to a field goal, too, and just when it seemed his day couldn't get much worse, he threw an interception in the end zone. Then, everything turned around. Manning redeemed himself just in time, and the New York Giants dealt the Chicago Bears' playoff hopes another staggering blow. Manning led two late touchdown drives and Reuben Droughns scored on a 2-yard run with 1:33 remaining to lift the Giants to a 21-16 victory over the Bears on Sunday. Manning was awful for most of the game but delivered in the latter stages after throwing four interceptions the previous week in a drubbing by Minnesota. Read the rest of the story here..

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens might have had the best touchdown celebration of the year last night when he took some popcorn and threw it in his face. The NFL rules are pretty clear on this one and If you use a prop in a touchdown celebration, you get fined. So Owens will get fined. But my personal rule is if the celebration is funny, I endorse it. And I thought that one was funny.

Sat, Dec 29 New England 8:15 pm Buy Tickets - NFL Eli laid a big egg with older brother Peyton watching in the luxury box, Darren Sharper, Dwight Smith and Chad Greenway all picked off easy passes by Eli and returned them for touchdowns leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 41-17 victory over the New York Giants. Darren Sharper scored on a 20-yard return, Qwight Smith ran one back 93 yards and Chad Greenway followed from 37 yards just a few plays later. The Vikings set a team record for interception returns for touchdowns in one game. The Minnesota Vikings nearly had a fourth return in handing the Giants their second loss in the last three games. Smith returned a second-quarter interception 19 yards to the Giants 8, setting up a touchdown run by backup RB Chester Taylor. 
Fabiana Semprebom Photo Gallery & Bio The Giants looked crappy from the start. Tarvaris Jackson threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to Sidney Rice just 41 seconds after the opening kickoff in helping Minnesota win back-to-back games for the first time this season. The Vikings are now back in to the wild-card chase and prevented the Giants from taking a two-game lead for the top wild-card berth. Manning finished 21-of-49 for 249 yards and 4 interceptions. He threw a meaningless 6-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress in the fourth quarter. Reuben Droughns scored on a 1-yard run for the Giants and Lawrence Tynes kicked a 48-yard field goal.

The loss dropped the Giants 3 games behind Dallas in the NFC East with 5 games to play. The Cowboys have the tiebreaker should they finish tied, having won both games this season. The Vikings have owned Eli Manning in their last two games. They intercepted him a career-high 4 times in 2005 in a game also won in record fashion. They returned an interception, kickoff and punt for touchdowns in the same game. Darren Sharper, who intercepted 3 passes and scored on a 92-yard return in the 2005 game, gave the Vikings a 14-7 lead late in the first quarter on a return on which he was not touched after Manning threw behind tight end Jeremy Shockey. 
Gemma Atkinson Photo Gallery Dwight Smith, the Vikings' other safety, helped push the lead to 21-7 with the interception that set up the score by Taylor, who carried 31 times for 77 yards filling in for Adrian Peterson. Manning apparently is blind and didnt see Smith while throwing to Burress. Smith and Greenway put the game out of reach with their touchdowns. Smith picked off a pass that was tipped by linebacker Ben Leber and went from one end of the stadium to the other on his 93-yard sprint down the right sidelines to the endzone. Manning completed a pass to start the next series, before Greenway stepped made Eli his *** and stepped in front of another pass to Shockey and scored. The Giants should have known things were going to go bad when Tynes' kickoff went out of bounds to start the game and 2 plays later, Jackson went play-action and found a streaking Rice down the right sidelines for a big score on a play that Giants cornerback Aaron Ross was called for pass interference. Droughns tied the game on the Giants' opening series, scoring from a yard out to cap a 65-yard drive that turned out to be New York's only effective series of the half but it wasnt nearly enough.

Sat, Dec 29 New England 8:15 pm Buy Tickets - NFL The Giants (7-3) begin a stretch of five straight contests against teams at or below the .500 mark when the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) bring their top-ranked rushing attack to the Meadowlands on Sunday. The game will also be the second of three straight for New York against NFC North opponents. Last week, they rebounded from their second loss of the season to division-leading Dallas with a 16-10 win at Detroit, seizing control of the top wild-card spot. Next week, New York plays at Chicago. The Giants have won seven of eight since an 0-2 start and have only lost to Green Bay and Dallas, who were a combined 18-2 entering their Thanksgiving Day games. Due to tiebreakers, New York would have to make up three games on Dallas to win the division, but any other NFC opponent would have to make up two games to overtake the Giants for the top wild-card berth. "We have to play to try to stay there and work our way into the playoffs and get another shot at those upper-tier teams that we have already played," defensive tackle Barry Cofield said. "We have so much to play for, so much still on our plate, and so much still to be excited about. There is no time to mope." 
Salma Hayek Photo Gallery The Giants have a recent history of second-half swoons, including a 2-6 slide last season that nearly cost them a playoff spot. At 1-1 since the midway point this year, they're already in better shape than they were in 2006, when they lost four straight to begin the second half. New York will, however, have to contend with some key injuries, the same issue that played a big role in last season's slide. Linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka went down for the season with a broken leg last week, while running back Brandon Jacobs suffered a pulled hamstring. With other prolific pass rushers in Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck, the Giants may be able to overcome Kiwanuka's absence, but with running back Derrick Ward missing the last three games with ankle and groin injuries, New York is suddenly thin at that position. Jacobs and Ward are uncertain for this week, meaning veteran Reuben Droughns could start after rushing for just 13 yards on 11 carries in the second half against the Lions. He'll be backed up by rookie Ahmad Bradshaw, who has never carried the ball on offense. New York signed former New England Patriot Patrick Pass this week to add depth. Uncertainty at running back is new for the Giants, as now-retired Tiki Barber started 77 of the last 80 games before this year. "Unfortunately this year we've had a series of things that have occurred and have allowed that guys wouldn't be able to play," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "Somebody else has had to step up and play, and they've done a pretty good job with that." New York may emphasize the passing game this week due to their thin backfield and Minnesota's NFL-best rush defense. The Vikings are allowing just 74.4 yards per game on the ground after leading the league in that category last year (61.6). 
Britney Spears Photo Gallery Giants quarterback Eli Manning has been plagued by inconsistency this season, and that was the case the last two weeks. He threw two interceptions and was sacked five times in the loss to Dallas, but was 28-of-39 for 283 yards and a touchdown against Detroit. While the Giants could have a tough time running the ball Sunday, Manning will be facing a Vikings pass defense that at 288.4 yards per game, is the worst in the league by 18.9 yards. Minnesota, meanwhile, figures to run the ball often rather than consistently subject second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and the NFL's second-worst pass offense to New York's league-best pass rush, which has 34 sacks. Jackson returned from a concussion to post his best-ever quarterback rating as a starter (79.9) last week, when he went 17-of-22 for 171 yards and an interception. He'll have help from Minnesota's rushing offense, the best in football at 177.9 yards a game - more than 30 better than the next-best running attack. The last team to lead the league in both rushing and rush defense was the 2001 Pittsburgh Steelers, who finished 13-3. The Vikings dominated again on the ground last week, even with NFL rushing leader Adrian Peterson sidelined with a knee injury. Chester Taylor took over and ran for 164 yards and three touchdowns in a 29-22 win over Oakland, which improved the Vikings' slim playoff hopes. Coach Brad Childress called Peterson a "long shot" to play this week, and it would seem unnecessary to rush him back after Taylor's performance. Peterson broke the NFL single-game rushing record with 296 yards against San Diego on Nov. 4. "I ain't the one to start no controversy," Taylor said. "I knew I could do what I did in the game. I'm going to play hard no matter what, and if I get the opportunity I'm going to take advantage of it." In the teams' last meeting in 2005, Manning threw four interceptions as Minnesota won 24-21. That was the clubs' first matchup at Giants Stadium since the Vikings lost the NFC championship game 41-0 in 2001. The Giants have won three of the last four meetings overall.

Sat, Dec 29 New England 8:15 pm Buy Tickets - NFL Michael Strahan had a season-high 3 sacks, helping the New York Giants beat the Detroit Lions 16-10 Sunday to gain the advantage in the NFC wild-card race. New York (7-3) broke a third-place tie with Detroit in the conference and improved its chances of making the playoffs. 78.4 percent of teams that won seven of their first 10 games ended up in the postseason. The Giants lost their first 2 games, won six straight, then lost to Dallas for a second time before handing Detroit its first defeat at home. "We'll take the 7-3. I'm too tired to worry about how we got there," Strahan said. "Hopefully, we'll get another run going. We started one today." 
The Lions (6-4) dropped back-to-back games for the first time this year, and took it hard after losing their other three games by double digits. "Yeah, it's more difficult because that is not a better football team than us," quarterback Jon Kitna said. "We gave them the football game." Strahan took offense to Kitna's take on the game. "I honestly thought in the first half that was one of the worst teams we played that was 6-3," he said. "I don't quite understand why Jon would say that. "Maybe we'll see them down the road and if that's the case, we'll beat that a-- again." Detroit might need to beat the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers at home on Thanksgiving to maintain a realistic chance at making the playoffs for the first time since 1999. "Is the season over? Absolutely not," offensive tackle Jeff Backus said. "It's one stumble in our path." The Giants leaned on their defense to block Detroit's road to success. Strahan and Co. put pressure on Kitna, forcing him out of the pocket to rush throws. When Kitna did have time late in the game, Madison and James Butler came through for the Giants with key interceptions to shut down a team that had been scoring in bunches at home. "They scored 31 points a game here," Strahan said. "The way we played today we should be very happy." The win came at a price: Jacobs was sidelined in the third quarter with a left hamstring injury and linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka broke his left leg early in the game. New York coach Tom Coughlin wasn't sure how serious Jacobs' injury was, but said Kiwanuka may be done for the season. "It's obviously a big loss for us," Coughlin said. Eli Manning threw a touchdown pass to Jacobs late in the first half and Lawrence Tynes kicked three field goals to give the Giants a 16-3 lead early in the fourth. 
Danica McKellar Photo Gallery Detroit finally put together a strong drive, ending with Calvin Johnson's 35-yard TD catch to pull within six with 4:34 left. After a three-and-out drive, Detroit drove to midfield and Kitna heaved an up-for-grabs pass to Shaun McDonald that Butler leaped to snag just inside the end zone. The Lions had one more chance, getting the ball at their 32 with 1:25 left, but a pass went off McDonald's hands in New York territory and right to Madison in the final minute. "That's the position we want to be in," McDonald said. "I didn't make the plays at the end." In the second and third quarters, New York kept the Lions in the game by fumbling twice inside their 30. But Kitna threw three interceptions, overshadowing the 28 passes he completed for 377 yards and a score. McDonald and Roy Williams both went over the 100-yard mark as the Lions were forced to throw because they could not run. Kevin Jones was limited to just 25 yards on 11 carries. Manning was 28-of-39 for 283 yards with a score, spreading the ball around to five receivers who made at least four catches. ^Notes: Strahan, who missed all of training camp while deciding whether he wanted to play or retire, leads all active players with 140 1/2 sacks. ... Detroit S Idrees Bashir (knee) was injured on the opening kickoff and is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. ... Detroit fell to 0-3 vs. the NFC East and hosts division-leading Dallas next month.

Sat, Dec 29 New England 8:15 pm Buy Tickets - NFL Preview: New York Giants (6-3) at Detroit Lions (6-3) Few expected either team to be 6-3 through nine games, but both have already silenced plenty of critics, who two months ago had reason to believe New York and Detroit would be in for long seasons. The Giants' defense struggled in two losses to start the season, allowing an average of 40.0 points, while the Lions hadn't reached the playoffs since 1999 and had suffered through six straight seasons of double-digit losses - including a 3-13 mark last year. But both got off to 6-2 starts behind resurgent defenses. The Giants allowed just 13.2 points per game during their six-game winning streak, while Detroit has forced a league-high 28 turnovers and allowed just 10.0 points per game in consecutive victories over Tampa Bay, Chicago and Denver before last week. That's when things went awry for both, causing each team to fall two games behind their respective division leaders. The Giants, bent on getting revenge on NFC East-leading Dallas after the Cowboys beat them 45-35 in Week 1, stumbled in the second half at home and lost 31-20. Detroit, meanwhile, rushed for minus-18 yards and allowed four touchdown passes in a 31-21 loss at Arizona.     
Catherine Bell Photo Gallery "We had a lot of things break down in our execution," Lions coach Rod Marinelli said. "This was all about fundamentals, and those are correctable. That's the good news." Detroit's Jon Kitna completed 32 of 45 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, but running back Kevin Jones - still banged up with the sore foot that kept him out of the season's first two games - carried the ball just four times. Jones is expected to play against the Giants, but isn't sure he'll be able to go on short rest on Thanksgiving in a crucial matchup with NFC North-leading Green Bay. "I love throwing - I'd do it on every play if I could - but it is brutal on our offensive linemen," Kitna said. "They don't get the chance to fire out and punish guys like they do on running plays. We need to be able to do both." Kitna has a career-best 92.9 passer rating and a winning record through nine games for the first time since 2000 while with Seattle. With seven games to play, he's just two wins away from matching his career high of eight as a starter in a season. He's also on pace for a career low in interceptions in a full season as a starter with just eight so far, but his two picks were part of five turnovers for Detroit last week against Arizona. The Giants will try to induce a few more with their signature pass rush, which has produced an NFL-best 32 sacks this year. Kitna has been sacked 37 times this season - seven more than any other quarterback - and also leads the league in fumbles with 11.      
Caterina Murino Photo Gallery Four different Giants - Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan and Mathias Kiwanuka - have at least 4 1/2 sacks this season, but they could only get to Tony Romo twice against Dallas last week. Romo threw for four touchdowns. "Anytime we don't get the pressure that we want coming out of the game, it is disheartening, and it is a little bit surprising," Kiwanuka said. "But we are not going to dwell on it. It is not something that is going to set us back." The Giants, whose three losses have come to teams with a combined 16-2 record, are hoping to avoid another late-season stumble after opening the second half with a loss for the fifth consecutive year. From 2003-06, New York has gone 8-24 in the second half after posting a 21-11 mark in the season's first half. Last year, the Giants went 2-6 in the second half after a 6-2 start. "Last year was a totally different situation," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "Our ideas are this year." Injuries slowed last season's team in the second half, but the Giants have been relatively healthy this year. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress has a nagging ankle injury and is listed as questionable, but he hasn't missed a game this year and is tied for fourth in the NFL in receiving touchdowns with eight. Pro Bowl middle linebacker Antonio Pierce returned to practice Friday after missing two days because of a mild concussion, and Coughlin expects him to play Sunday. "He did everything today, he took every snap, so I will check with him when I go in, but I think he certainly is on his way," Coughlin said Friday. The Giants might try to shift some of the load to running back Brandon Jacobs. New York is 3-0 this year when Jacobs rushes for 100 yards. Besides Jones, the Lions are also fairly healthy. Cornerback Fernando Bryant (foot sprain) and defensive end Dewayne White (triceps injury) are both questionable, but offensive tackle Jonathan Scott is likely to miss a second straight game with a thumb injury. The Lions have won the only two meetings between these teams since 2000, both at Giants Stadium. New York has won three straight in Detroit dating to 1988, but the Lions have excelled at Ford Field this year. The Giants and Lions would be the NFC's two wild-card teams if the season ended today, with both holding a one-game lead over Washington. Source: http://sports.yahoo.com New York Giants Schedule

Tony Romo and Terrell Owens put on a clinic Romo hit Terrell Owens on two of his four touchdown passes and Dallas opened a huge lead in the division by ending the Giants' six-game winning streak with a 31-20 victory on Sunday. "If you want to call it swagger, yes we have the confidence that we know we can go out and beat teams," said Owens. Terrell sealed the deal with second-half TD catches of 25 and 50 yards. Owens finished with 6 catches for 125 yards, his third straight 100-yard game. "Obviously today, we had more penalties than we would like and we have to eliminate those," T.O. added. "That was everybody's emotions running high. There was a little trash-talking by them. We came here. The game was played and I feel like we made a statement." With the win, the Dallas Cowboys have a two-game lead over the New York Giants, a three-game edge on the Washington Redskins and a four-game margin on Philadelphia. Dallas also swept the season series with New York, which really sucks as they have the tiebreaker should they finished tied. It's another step along the journey that we're trying to go through to get where we want to go," said Romo, "A win like tonight just adds to your confidence. When you do something like this, you have a chance to do something special." The last time the Cowboys started a season at 8-1 was 1995 and was the last time they won the Super Bowl. With 7 games left, the Cowboys also are tied with Green Bay for the best record in the conference. The two will play in Dallas on Nov. 29. For the Giants, their best hopes for a playoff berth seemingly are a wild-card spot now that they laid an egg at home. The rest of the season lays out like this.

"It does put us behind the 8-ball," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "If you ever play pool, I've seen people make shots from behind that 8-ball. That's what we are looking at." Romo also threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Tony Curtis in the first quarter and a 20-yarder to Patrick Crayton just before halftime, starting a string of three straight touchdown drives. Eli Manning threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, who tied his career high with 12 catches for 129 yards. Reuben Droughns scored on a 1-yard run and Lawrence Tynes kicked two field goals of 40 and 26 yards. "I didn't think I held him, but you have to go with the call," said Snee, who originally thought Dallas was being called for a penalty. It seemed like the Cowboys were the ones hurting themselves with undisciplined errors all game long. 4 penalties in the first half gave New York 10 points and had Dallas heading to the locker room tied at 17. The Cowboys were called for three penalties on the Giants' opening TD drive. The one everyone will remember was a taunting call against linebacker Kevin Burnett with the Cowboys ahead 17-14 in the waning seconds. Jacobs had just been stuffed on a run from his 35 and Burnett yapped at him. The 15-yard walkoff moved the ball to the 50 with 12 seconds to go. Manning found Shockey for 29 yards to set up a 40-yard field goal by Tynes that tied the game. "Once it's over, you have to learn from your mistakes," coach Wade Phillips said. "We couldn't harp on that. We just told them it was nothing-nothing. We've done it all year. The second half is ours." The Cowboys' defense, sacked Manning 5 times and intercepted him twice, stopped the Giants and then Romo and company took over. 
The go-ahead 25-yard touchdown pass came on a play where T.O. ran past cornerback Sam Madison and was wide open. It capped a 12-play, 86-yard drive on which the Cowboys converted three 10-plus-yard situations, the last a 13-yard pass to Crayton on third-and-11 from the New York 38. Owens scored on the next play. Owens ran by safety Gibril Wilson on the long pass. "If he gets moving, he's tough to catch up to," Romo said. "I just tried to give him some air and let him go get it." Romo's other touchdown passes were just as easy against an improved defense that gave up 45 points in Dallas in the opener. His 15-yard pass to Curtis on the opening series came after he broke containment on a pass rush. Just before reaching the line of scrimmage, he saw a wide-open Curtis in the corner of the end zone. Eli Manning was 23-of-34 for 236 yards on a day he threw mostly short passes, tied the game with his TD pass to Shockey. Folk's field goal gave Dallas a 10-7 lead before Wilson's interception set up a 60-yard drive Droughns capped with his run.

Eli Manning did not play well...except for the only touchdown. The NFL's first game overseas was every bit as sloppy as it was predictable Sunday. Eli Manning was pathetic and threw for only 59 yards but he did manage to run for New York's only touchdown to give the New York Giants to a 13-10 victory over the still-winless Miami Dolphins (don't worry, the Rams lost too today). The New York Giants (6-2) had more a lot more riding on this game, coming in with a 5 game winning streak before flying off for a 3,500-mile dog-and-pony show to London to make history for the NFL. But Brandon Jacobs helped ease the pain, running for 131 yards, the second straight week he's hit a career high. Yeah he is good. Steady rain that made for a torn-up turf at Wembley Stadium, the New York defense allowed only 254 yards and held the Dolphins out of the end zone for the first 58 minutes. The Dolphins pulled close, 13-10 when Cleo Lemon hit Ted Ginn Jr. for a 21-yard score with 1:54 left. But Jay Feely's screwed up his onside kick and it went out of bounds. The Giants kneeled on it three times to seal the deal, ignoring the loud boos from the crowd of 80,000+ that wanted more crappy football.

Jessica Alba Photo Album The worthless Dolphins fell to 0-8 and kept the race to 0-16 really tight on the 35th anniversary of their perfect, 17-0 season in 1972. I guess the idea behind this game was supposedly to offer Londoners a look at a real sport after they'd suffered through decades of exhibition games, NFL Europa and the other futbol. And while the mud made for good television and some fun slips and slides, this was hardly a classic demonstration of American football at its best.

Giants win sloppy showdown over Dolphins in London

At least the Miami Dolphins get a home game against a team to which they haven't lost in more than a decade as they try to finally post their first win. Problem is, that 'home game' isn't in Florida. It's not even in the United States. And the team they're facing is one of the hottest in football. The New York Giants hope a trip overseas doesn't cool them off, going for a sixth straight victory and trying to keep the disheartened Dolphins winless on Sunday as the NFL plays a regular-season game in London for the first time. The only other game played in the regular season that took place outside the U.S. came in 2005 when Arizona beat San Francisco in Mexico City. The league has held exhibition games overseas previously, but never a game that counted. This matchup at a sold-out Wembley Stadium should give Europeans a better taste of what the NFL is all about, as opposed to preseason contests in which starters didn't play much and the results were virtually meaningless. Commissioner Roger Goodell recently said the league is even considering holding a Super Bowl in London at some point. "It is going to be a neat experience for us," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. "I think everyone is looking forward to going over there and be the first teams to play in an international game. It is a great opportunity. It is going to be a little different week and we have to get our minds set for that." The Giants (5-2) have won five in a row - the last four were all decided by double digits - and are a victory shy of their longest regular-season win streak since a six-game run in 1993. 
Shop For New York Giants Jerseys & More! Miami (0-7), meanwhile, is off to the worst start in the franchise's 42-year history and has given up a league-high 231 points. No other team has allowed more than 200. "We can't win in America," defensive end Jason Taylor said. "Maybe we can win overseas." The Dolphins won the most recent meeting, 23-10 in 2003, but that's the only matchup between these teams since the Giants won 17-7 in 1996. This trip is little more than what a flight for a game on the West Coast would be, and both teams do get their bye weeks following this contest, but Miami has the bad fortune of this being considered one of its home games. New York has had no trouble taking care of inferior teams the past few weeks, scoring more than 30 points in relatively easy wins over the New York Jets, Atlanta and San Francisco. The Giants now face a Miami defense which has surrendered 90 points over its last two games. A win Sunday would put New York at 6-2, the same record it had at the halfway point last season before losing six of its final eight regular-season games. "I think overall the camaraderie of the team is a lot better," Giants defensive tackle Fred Robbins said. "We are just coming together. There is unity on the team. We understand we've been in this position a couple of times before and we don't want a relapse."  ![enno22_anja_palijcuk_fhm_special_edition_003[1].jpg](http://nycash.com/photos/celebrity-pictures-2007/images/1417/thumb.aspx)

Robbins is part of a defense which has improved significantly since allowing a combined 80 points and 846 yards of offense during the 0-2 start. The Giants have surrendered a total of 69 points - only six offensive touchdowns - during the five-game win streak while holding each of their opponents under 290 total yards. They have compiled 25 sacks in that span and lead the league with 27, including six in a 33-15 win over the 49ers last Sunday. "Healthy, we're healthy, that's the difference," said Michael Strahan, who along with defensive end Osi Umenyiora missed a combined 16 games last season. "That is going to be the key for us going forward." The Dolphins are far from healthy. Last week's 49-28 home loss to the Patriots saw Miami lose top rusher Ronnie Brown and starting safety Renaldo Hill for the season to torn ACLs. The team already lost quarterback Trent Green (concussion) and safety Yeremiah Bell (Achilles') to season-ending injuries. Linebacker Zach Thomas might not make the trip to London because he was in a minor car accident after last Sunday's defeat. The departure of Brown may be the biggest loss yet. He leads the league with 991 yards from scrimmage, ranks fourth with 602 rushing yards and had scored five touchdowns. Jesse Chatman should see the bulk of the carries in Brown's place, though Patrick Cobbs and Lorenzo Booker could get some as well. "You don't replace a Ronnie Brown," Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said. "But you say, 'These are the guys we have. How do we maximize the guys we have? Who are our best 11?'" Cleo Lemon has started the last two games for Green and has had his moments, throwing for 492 yards and two touchdowns, but he's also thrown three interceptions and been sacked five times. Manning also makes his share of mistakes - he's had at least one interception in every game - but has been fairly steady. He's thrown for two touchdown passes in three straight games. He's backed by a running game which has been solid regardless of who gets most of the carries. Lately it's been Brandon Jacobs, who has rushed for 293 yards and two touchdowns on 51 attempts in three games since returning from a knee injury. Derrick Ward played well while Jacobs was sidelined and still ranks among the NFL's top 20 rushers with 448 yards despite getting only 15 carries over the last two weeks. "Guys are more responsive to each other," Giants guard Grey Ruegamer said. "I think the team is a little closer than it was a year ago and guys are responding to that. We're 5-2. We like winning and we like the feeling." Source: http://sports.yahoo.com/
