GIANTS ...31 COWBOYS ...24 Brandon Jacobs had the Giants' longest play of the season for just a few minutes, then Domenik Hixon topped it, lifting New York past Dallas. The Giants tightened the NFC East with their win, dropping Dallas into a tie with Philadelphia for the lead. New York has swept Dallas this season and plays Philadelphia at home Sunday night. Jacobs covered 74 yards after taking a short pass from Eli Manning, his touchdown putting the Giants ahead 21-17 in the third quarter. Not to be outdone, Hixon went 79 yards with a punt return for a 31-17 lead in the final period.

Turns out, No. 7 still rules Atlanta. Making quite a return to the Georgia Dome, Vick accounted for a pair of touchdowns - one running, the other passing - and basked in the cheers of his former home as Philadelphia thoroughly dominated short-handed Atlanta. The Eagles pulled two games ahead of the reeling Falcons in the NFC wild-card standings, bringing a little more clarity to the playoff race. But most of the attention was on Vick's first game in Atlanta since he went off to prison for dogfighting. Vick ran for a 5-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his first score since Oct. 15, 2006. He also slipped a 5-yard scoring pass to tight end Brent Celek early in the fourth. ...more
