Air has been let out of this place

That seven-play, 71-yard drive silenced the Texas Stadium crowd. Rookie Steve Smith had the most important catch on the drive, and the 15-yard facemask penalty on cornerback Jacques Reeves was huge.

The Giants might want to think about doing some no-huddle in the second half because the Cowboys weren't able to generate any pressure during that last drive. And rookie Kevin Boss once again showed why the Giants are so high on him.

Just a terrible drive for Reeves, who was giving up way too much cushion.

I've been watching Terrell Owens pretty closely. He doesn't have a noticeable limp, but he's not getting much explosion off the line of scrimmage. T.O. had four catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. So far, the Cowboys haven't tried to hit him downfield.

I think Jason Garrett will take a shot on a deep ball on this drive. If the Cowboys make it near the 50-yard line, watch for the fly pattern to Owens down the right sideline. Did anyone just see T.O. go in motion?

He took the most circuitous route I've ever seen. The Cowboys kept Witten in to block for most of the first half. Now, Romo will start looking for him more.
