This time, there was no Tony Romo to break the Giants’ hearts.

This time, it was the Giants making the huge play.

And this time, vindication spread itself all around, from the Giants beating the Cowboys 27-20, to Dallas castoff Dwayne Harris supplying the winning points with his 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 7:01 remaining in the game.

Oh, the Giants did plenty to win this game before Harris took off on his journey up the field. There were three interceptions, too, including one from Brandon Meriweather and a pair from Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the second of which produced a 58-yard pick-6 off Matt Cassel that pushed the Giants into a 17-13 third-quarter lead.
