The Giants are incredibly lucky to be in this game. Three turnovers have led to all 13 of the Cowboys offensive points, and they have also allowed a special teams touchdown by Dez Bryant.
To be down 20-14 at this point the Giants have to be counting their lucky stars.
That said, they have only allowed 55 total yards defensively, and Tony Romo has yet to come back in the game. The Cowboys have to be very worried with Jon Kitna handling the snaps.
The Giants have moved the ball very efficiently since throwing two interceptions on their first two drives, and the defense has held tight on three straight defensive possessions now, allowing two field goals despite the Cowboys starting their drive in Giants territory.
On his second touchdown of the game, Hakeem Nicks is tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with eight, and leads all receivers in that category. Apparently his ankle is not an issue.
The Giants have been taking advantage of both Mike Jenkins and Terrence Newman being injured during the game. Whether they can recover from those two playing hurt will be a huge factor in the remainder of the game.
The Giants forced a punt and are in Cowboys territory with a chance to take the lead, hopefully they take advantage of a first down on the 22 yard line.
