Eli Manning went 15-for-29 for 192 yards and Andre Brown scored a rushing touchdown for New York (6-2), which moved to 4-0 at Cowboys Stadium and avenged a loss in the season opener.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo threw for 437 yards but was intercepted four times. The Cowboys (3-4) had a chance to take the lead late but Romo was flushed out of the pocket on fourth-and-1 and threw the ball up for grabs, where Stevie Brown hauled it in on the right sideline for his second pick of the game with 1:03 left to play.

A disputed spot on third down forced the Giants to punt, giving Romo one more chance. A desperation heave with 10 seconds left was caught in the back of the end zone by Dez Bryant and initially ruled a touchdown before replay ruled that his hand came down out of bounds.
