EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) _ Dwayne Harris sped 100 yards with a kickoff return
against his former Dallas teammates seconds after the Cowboys had tied Sunday’s
game, and the New York Giants moved atop the NFC East with a 27-20 victory.
Harris spent four seasons in Dallas without running back a kickoff for a score.
But he tied a Giants record set in 1994 by romping untouched to the end zone.
New York (4-3) snapped a five-game slide against Dallas (2-4) thanks to big
plays by its defense and special teams. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had two
interceptions, returning one 58 yards for a touchdown.
The Cowboys, losers of four in a row without injured offensive stars Tony Romo
and Dez Bryant, got a big game from Darren McFadden. Starting running back
Joseph Randle left early with a strained back, and McFadden rushed for 152 yards
and a TD.
