The Cowboys played a much better quarter and get the lead back by the end of the quarter.

Dallas has the first possession in the 3rd and does well with it. They get into NY territory fairly quickly. they do get into the red zone and do so while getting a first down. They end up getting another first down on about the 1/2 so it’s first and goal.

The Giants defense stops them at the goal and force them into a 4th down attempt on the 1/2. Tony Romo gets his first rushing touchdown of the game and runs it in for the points. It is now back to a 1 score game and the score is Dallas 17 to NY 23.

The momemtum in this drive certainly has been on the Dallas side and the Giants need to protect the ball well on their next possession so the game does not get away from them.

Dallas has scored 17 unanswered points and stop the Giants on their first drive and will get the ball back and with a decent return get the ball on about the 41.

Tony Romo and the rest of his offense has been playing this quarter with much more confidence. They do get in to the end zone and suddenly the Giants lead had dried up and Dallas has the lead back at 24 to 23.

As the 3rd quarter nears the end a big mistake by the Giants and they turn the ball over giving Dallas a big shot at now extending their 1 point lead.
