Tom Coughlin's Giants have a flair for the dramatic.
America saw that in their two Super Bowl upsets of New England, A... Pietrangelo Jerseyand America's Team got to see it firsthand Sunday in Coughlin's 100th regular-season win as Giants coach, 27-20 over Dallas.
This one was all about pouncing on Cowboys mistakes.
''We were a plus-4,'' Coughlin noted as a key to the victory. ''We played hard, we wanted it bad.''
Coughlin, 69, joined Hall of Famer Steve Owen as the only Giants coaches with 100 wins. And Coughlin also has 12 in the postseason, with those two championships.
New York snapped a five-game slide against Dallas as Dwayne Harris ran back a kickoff 100 yards for the winning points ht... the fourth quarter against his former teammates. That boosted the Giants (4-3) into first place in the NFC East, pending Philadelphia's night game at Carolina.
''We've been overdue for a long time,'' Harris said. ''Always one block away, one man away. Tonight it was blocked perfect. Anybody could have ran through that, the hole that was made.''
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had two interceptions, returning one 58 yards for a touchdown. Brandon Meriweather also had a pick, while Myles White grabbed Cole Beasley's muff of a punt in the final minutes to put it away.
Harris spent four seasons in [url=http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Andrej_Sekera_Jersey]And... Sekera JerseyDallas without running back a kickoff for a score. But he tied a Giants record set in 1994 by romping untouched to the end zone.
''It felt great, especially my first return in the NFL, and it felt great coming against my old teammates,'' Harris said.
The Cowboys (2-4), losers of four in a row without injured offensive stars Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, [url=http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Andrej_Sekera_Jersey]htt... 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.
Matt Cassel, in his first start for the benched Brandon Weeden while Romo heals, forced some throws, and New York took advantage.
This third-period score was the seventh touchdown in Rodgers-Cromartie's eight pro seasons, six by interceptions. He had a 57-yard runback with a fumble against Dallas in the season opener.
''I told myself if I see it, just take a chance,'' Rodgers-Cromartie said.
Two plays later, Cassel uncorked a wobbler down the left sideline for Terrance Williams, and Meriweather made a leaping pick at the Giants 1. Rueben Randle, making like receiving mate Odell Beckham Jr., followed with a terrific one-handed catch down the sideline on Brandon Carr, the same cornerback Beckham victimized last season for his play of the year. That 44-yarder immediately was followed by Shane Vereen's 39-yard burst, and Josh Brown completed the 83-yard drive with a 34-yard field goal for a 20-13 lead.
Cromartie's other interception, the third Giants pick within five throws by Cassel, led to nothing, and then Cassel found the range. He guided Dallas on an 80-yard drive, with a pinpoint pass to Devin Street, whose first career TD came on a tip-toe reception in the right corner of the end zone.
