Dwayne Harris makes big play

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin’s 100th regular-season win as Giants coach was all about pouncing on Cowboys mistakes.

New York snapped a five-game slide against Dallas as Dwayne Harris streaked down the right sideline to run back a kickoff 100 yards for the winning points in the fourth quarter against his former teammates Sunday. The Giants’ 27-20 victory also boosted them into first place in the NFC East at 4-3, pending Philadelphia’s night game at Carolina.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had two interceptions, returning one 58 yards for a touchdown. Brandon Meriweather also had a pick, while Myles White grabbed Cole Beasley’s muff of a punt in the final minutes to put it away.
