Plaxico Burress and Eli Manning looked like Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning Sunday night, hooking up for three scores. Manning threw for 314 yards and four scores, but it wasn't enough as Tony Romo also threw for four TDs and ran for another as the Cowboys won 45-35 over the Giants.The injury bug bit the Giants hard as Osi Umenyiora, Brandon Jacobs, Eli Manning and Sean Dockery were all knocked out of the contest. A team doctor was be seen checking on Manning's right shoulder during the fourth quarter. Manning played through the pain and threw a touchdown to Burress before being slammed to the ground furing an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt. Jared Lorenzen replaced Manning on the next drive and finished out the game.
Jacobs took a hit that caused his right knee to bend awkwardly early in the game. He sat the entire second half with official word of the injury to come later.
Umenyiora also left with a knee injury. His injury was officially listed as a sprain with more tests pending.
