ARLINGTON, Texas -- Never count out Eli Manning and the New York Giants -- not in a game, or in the division race. Down by 12 late in the fourth quarter of a game they had to win for a realistic chance to make the playoffs, the Giants put together two touchdown drives in the final 3:41 and Jean Pierre-Paul preserved it with a blocked field goal for a 37-34 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Just like that, the Giants four-game losing streak was done. And the NFC East race is cracked open, with New York reclaiming the inside track. "We needed to have a locker-room celebration," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "We were starving for this." New Yorks recent skid was filled mostly with narrow losses to division leaders. The Giants (7-6) appeared headed to another setback trailing 34-22 with 5:41 left, but a series of clutch plays on their part and meltdowns by Dallas changed everything. The teams are tied, with the Cowboys headed to the Meadowlands for a season-ending rematch on New Years Day. "We knew what was on the line," Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said. "But those guys made one more play than we did." Dallas has gone from winning four straight to losing two in a row, both in dramatic, frustrating fashion that involved missed kicks by rookie Dan Bailey, whod been so good for so long this season. The Cowboys also lost running back DeMarco Murray to a broken right ankle, ending his record-setting rookie season. "We certainly know weve got our work cut out for us," team owner Jerry Jones said in a brief statement. Neither team led by more than five points for most of this back-and-forth game until Tony Romo threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant with no one else around. He strutted into the end zone, putting Dallas up 34-22 with 5:41 left. Yet instead of that ending the excitement, the fun was just beginning. Manning -- whod already pulled out five wins in the fourth quarter this season -- mounted an eight-play, 80-yard drive capped by an eight-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ballard. The play had to withstand a video review to make sure he really got the ball past the front of the goal line before his knee landed inches shy of the stripe. New Yorks defence followed with a three-and-out, and the Giants got another break when Dallas usually reliable punter, Mat McBriar, had a 33-yarder, letting Manning take over at his 42 with 2:12 left. Two penalties on the Cowboys defence helped, as did completions of 21 and 18 yards to Ballard. Brandon Jacobs scored on a one-yard run with 51 seconds left and D.J. Ware followed with the two-point conversion. Romo still had 46 seconds left. He hit Miles Austin for gains of 22 and 23 yards to set up Bailey for a 47-yard field goal that would force overtime. The rookie whod made four winning kicks, but was coming off a game-losing debacle the previous week, split the uprights -- only it didnt count because Coughlin called a timeout. On the do-over, Baileys kick was clipped by the outstretched arms of Pierre-Paul. Hed been a disruption all night, sacking Romo for a safety early in the game and forcing a fumble in the second quarter. "I rushed the centre, put my hands up and got the block," Pierre-Paul said. Manning was 27 of 47 for 400 yards and two touchdowns. It was his third 400-yard outing this season, and the club racked up 510 yards, its most since having 512 in December 2009. Jacobs ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Hakeem Nicks had seven catches for 154 yards, including an early 64-yarder. Mario Manningham had two catches for 62 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown reception. "Guys stepped up and made some big plays," Manning said. "It wont mean anything unless we finish the season strong. Thats the mindset. We cant relax now or feel great about ourselves." Romo was 21 of 31 for 321 yards with four touchdowns, two in the fourth quarter. Laurent Robinson caught four passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, with a 74-yarder. Austin, whod missed the previous six weeks with a hamstring injury, caught four passes for 63 yards with a touchdown. Felix Jones ran for 106 yards, and caught six passes for 31 yards. He started the season as Dallas featured running back, and will end it that way, too, now that Murray is gone. The rookie got his foot twisted awkwardly at the end of an eight-yard run in the first quarter. He finished his season with 897 yards, with a franchise-record 253 coming in one game. "This ones going to hurt, its going to sting, but weve got to figure out how to do things a little better and play our best game of the season next week," Romo said. "We need to get a win next week and get back going." The Cowboys have lost six straight Sunday night games. They are 0-3 against the Giants at Cowboys Stadium. Romo also continued his trend of winning in November, then slumping in December. Notes: New York RB Ahmad Bradshaw did not start as punishment for breaking an unspecified team rule. He finished with 12 yards on eight carries, all in the second half. ... Romo went over 20,000 yards passing for his career, joining Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach and Danny White as the only Cowboys to do so. ... Cowboys C Phil Costa sustained a concussion, pushing rookie Kevin Kowalski into action for the first time. His snaps were OK, but he seemed flummoxed early in the final drive. Delano Howell Womens Jersey . Burris completed 29-of-40 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns in the Ticats 35-34 comeback win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders to capture the offensive award. He became the first quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in two consecutive games since Casey Printers accomplished the feat on October 16 and 22, 2005. Stanley Havili Colts Jersey .

It was time for his rebuttal. Howard had 20 points and 22 rebounds, and Glen Davis had 23 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Orlando Magic to an 88-82 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Reggie Wayne Womens Jersey . In last weeks blog, I made mention to the fact that Dutchy had said "there are no big fights" coming up. Like the proverbial kiss of death, a Dutchy prediction is almost guaranteed to have the opposite effect. DQwell Jackson Womens Jersey .C. -- The only people who could stop Ryan Kelly on Saturday were the officials. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Expectations for Yu Darvish were every bit as big as the contract he signed to move from his native Japan. He continues to meet and perhaps even exceed them. Darvish pitched 7 2-3 strong innings and Adrian Beltre had a two-run homer to help the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 4-1 on Wednesday night. "He was very efficient and made them swing the bat," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "Broke his cutter out tonight and moved his fastball around the zone." Darvish (6-1) gave up one run and four hits while striking out seven to win his sixth game in seven decisions and give a weary Rangers bullpen a rest. After giving up a run in the first, Darvish settled down and retired 11 of the last 15 batters he faced. He lowered his ERA to 2.60. The Rangers committed more than $107 million to acquire Darvish. Mike Adams struck out Johnny Gomes, who represented the tying run, for the final out in the eighth. Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth his eighth save. "No matter what the situation, I try to throw as many inning as I can and go as long as possible," Darvish said through an interpreter when asked if he was aware the bullpen needed some downtime after long man Scott Feldmans spot start Monday, middle man Robbie Ross and a Alexi Ogandos tireless work over the last week. "I was able to throw with less effort," Darvish said. "Getting taken out in the middle of the eighth is something that Im not completely satisfied with." Craig Gentry and Elvis Andrus each had two hits, including run-scoring singles in a decisive fourth inning. Gentry beat out an infield single to third to score Nelson Cruz.dddddddddddd Oakland rookie pitcher Tommy Milone (5-3) gave up four runs in seven innings, holding the Rangers offence down until the fourth. "I thought he threw the ball extremely well," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "And really, if we get the ball over to first base on the Gentry ground ball, its a 2-1 game. "I thought, considering its his first time pitching here to that lineup, I dont know how he could have done much better." The Rangers sent nine players to the plate in a four-run fourth inning that was started by Josh Hamiltons infield single and Beltres home run. Gentry and Andrus added run-scoring hits. Hamilton, who extended his hitting streak to an AL season-best 16 games, had two hits and a run scored. Beltre has tormented Oakland pitching. His homer was his ninth against the As in the last two seasons. Josh Reddick gave Oakland a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. He struck out in his next three at-bats. "He has been as advertized," Washington said. "Hes a strikeout pitcher, and hes been that." Notes: Michael Young was out of the Rangers lineup, the third consecutive day manager Ron Washington gave at least one of the regulars a break. "One more guy, then Ive done everyone." That would be slugger Josh Hamilton. Washington said before the game he wasnt sure when Hamilton would get a break, and was waiting to see what happened in the game. ... Milone entered the game allowing a .175 average to batters leading off an inning, fifth lowest in the AL. ... Ogando has not allowed a run in 15 1-3 consecutive innings. He did not pitch Wedneday. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
