Giants make it look easy early in must-win game against Cowboys

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants flew down the field against the Dallas Cowboys on their opening drive Sunday, reaching the end zone on a Sterling Shepard 23-yard run.

It was easy. Four of New York's six plays went for at least 10 yards, including the touchdown, when Shepard took a toss coming across the formation to the right side.

There wasn't a Cowboys defender in sight on the misdirection run. Center Nick Gates and tight end Kaden Smith were out as lead blockers on the end around, but they didn't have to do much.
