Cowboys vs. Giants: Score and Twitter Reaction from Sunday Night Football

The Dallas Cowboys may not want to return to Jerry's World.

Tony Romo orchestrated an 80-yard touchdown drive in the final three minutes against the New York Giants Sunday night at MetLife Stadium, propelling the 'Boys to a thrilling 31-28 victory and 5-0 record on the road.

Romo finished 18-of-26 for 275 yards and four touchdowns, hooking up with Dez Bryant for 86 yards and a pair of scores, including the game-winning 13-yard reception with 1:01 left in the game.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon noted the recent success for Romo and the passing game:

DeMarco Murray kept the offensive attack multifaceted, running for 121 yards on 24 carries and maintaining his record-setting pace, per ESPN Stats and Info:

Odell Beckham Jr. did his best to erase New York's losing streak, which now sits at six games. The rookie hauled in 10 catches for 146 yards and two scores, putting himself in rare company with the transcendent performance:

Thanks to Beckham, the Giants moved the ball with ease in the first half, turning their first three drives into touchdowns en route to an early 21-10 lead. ESPN's Dan Graziano summarized how they were able to march down the field:

In the first two quarters of play, Beckham pulled down eight catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. One particular grab, which words can't do justice, stood out among the rest:

No one will likely argue its merits for catch of the year. But many onlookers quickly moved past that distinction and began calling it the best they've ever seen.

Teammate Victor Cruz and four-time NBA MVP LeBron James were just a few of those with their jaws hanging somewhere around their feet:

Beckham talked about the catch after the game, via NFL Network's Twitter feed:

The Cowboys made some necessary halftime adjustments, slowing down Beckham—and subsequently the Giants offense—in the third quarter. New York's first four drives after intermission went punt, punt, ugly interception from Eli Manning in the red zone and punt.

Dallas' offense was equally responsive to whatever was said in the locker room, as Romo threw touchdown passes to Cole Beasley and Bryant in the third quarter, giving the Cowboys a 24-21 advantage. 

ESPN's MacMahon gave a look at Bryant's place in history after his first score:

Nevertheless, with Beckham suddenly limited with a back injury, the G-Men were able to find success elsewhere, as a healthy mix of run and pass helped New York go 93 yards on 14 plays. Manning capped the methodical drive with a one-yard toss to Adrien Robinson, making it 28-24 with just over three minutes to play.

Sports Illustrated's NFL Twitter feed noted running back Rashad Jennings' importance on the drive:

"

Rashad Jennings has picked up two huge first downs on screen passes. The Giants are on the doorstep with first-and-goal.

But Dallas once again bounced right back, going 80 yards and finishing with Bryant's game-winning catch. While Romo was surgical, the offensive line deserves praise for giving its QB time to take a quick nap in the pristine pocket. Yahoo Sports' Frank Schwab and SI's Chris Burke summed it up:

The Cowboys now have a short turnaround before hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving. The schedule-makers couldn't have hoped for a better scenario on Turkey Day, as the two 8-3 teams will battle for first place in the NFC East.

New York, meanwhile, continues to move in the opposite direction. The Giants will hope to right the ship at Jacksonville next Sunday, but with yet another stinging defeat, a second straight losing season looks inevitable for Tom Coughlin's squad.
