38-22 Dallas, fourth quarter: It’s all about the air attack tonight.

Late third: The Cowboys are driving towards a score, after Romo hooked up with Jason Witten on a 38-yard catch, and Marion Barber just ran it for about 15 yards, but their lead could certainly be a little bigger. Terence Newman is out tonight, and his replacement, Jacques Reeves, has gotten burned twice by Plaxico Burress for touchdowns.

Thankfully, the Cowboys offense has been clicking all night, and just as I type that, Romo rolls out to his left, sees some open field, and runs nine yards for a score, and it’s 31-19 Dallas, just that quickly.

The Giants scored three plays into the game, when Eli Manning hit Burress for a 60-yard touchdown. The extra point was botched, and it was only 6-0.

From there, the Cowboys scored 17 straight points, on a 31-yard Nick Folk field goal (so far, so good), an 18-yard Barber touchdown, and a 12-yard touchdown from Romo to Witten.

But, the Giants pulled within one at halftime, with 10 points in twenty seconds. Manning hit Burress for his second touchdown, and then, Tyson Thompson fumbled the ensuing kickoff, which led to a Lawrence Tynes field goal seconds before the half.

But, order was restored quickly, as Romo and T.O. hooked up for a 22-yard score three minutes into the quarter. Tynes kicked his second field goal to make it 24-19, and then, on the Cowboys’ last drive, it took only four plays to go 67 yards for the score.

But, the Giants have gone right back down the field. Brandon Jacobs suffered a knee injury in the first half, and Derrick Ward has taken over for him. Ward didn’t do much for a good while, but he just busted loose for a 44-yard run on the last play of the third that got the Giants inside the 10.

For the most part, though, the Cowboys have done a great job with run defense, holding the Giants to 52 yards minus that big run by Ward. The pass defense could definitely be better, but Giants fans are likely saying the same thing, because Romo has had a great night so far. And, it hasn’t been all bad for Reeves, who had an interception and an 18-yard return to the Giants’ 23 that helped set up the Cowboys’ second touchdown.

The injury bug has bitten both teams so far. Besides Jacobs’ injury, DE Osi Umenyora got knocked out for the game due to a lower leg injury. And, just now, on the kickoff following his third field goal to make it 31-22, Tynes had to be attended to following the ensuing kickoff, and cornerback Kevin Dockery (former Mississippi State alum) had to be helped off of the field. And, for the Cowboys, Jason Ferguson left the game in the first quarter with a right elbow injury, and didn’t return.

Oh, look at that! T.O. at his finest! After Romo hooked up with Crayton on the first play of the drive to get the Cowboys across midfield, and a Jones run that went nowhere, Romo went for Owens, who got it, broke the tackle in stride, and sped to the end zone for his second score of the night, and it’s 38-22 with twelve minutes to go.

After getting shut down in the first half, T.O. has three catches for 87 yards, and the two scores (22 and 47 yards). Romo now has 294 yards on 14 of 22 passing, and three touchdowns.

It’s not over yet, but it’s close. A stop here may well seal it. That is, if the secondary doesn’t continue to allow Manning to keep going downfield.
