text: Though the Giants and Cowboys were tied at 14–14 heading into halftime, the second half was all about defense as both teams totaled 10 points in the second half. However early on, it looked to be more of the same from the Cowboys as they entered the red zone again on a 14 play drive taking up over 8 minutes of the clock.  Finally, the Giants got a stop off a Cowboys miscue.  On 3rd and 12 from the Giants's 16-yard line, Tony Romo had an open Terrell Owens crossing over the middle of the field, but he threw behind him, resulting in Dallas settling for Nick Folk's 33-yard field goal to make it 17–14.  Giants kick returner Domenik Hixon returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards, but in large part due to a sack by DeMarcus Ware, the Giants failed to get any points and punted.  The Cowboys got the ball back when they made probably their worst play of the day.  In the lead-up to the game, receiver Patrick Crayton declared that the Cowboys would be going to the Super Bowl.  On a third down play, Romo was chased by the Giants pass rush and avoided them before finding a wide-open Crayton, but he dropped it.  The play likely would have gone for a big gain had Crayton caught the pass, but instead, the Cowboys were forced to punt.
