took over on the Giants' 48-yard line after a short punt return. They marched down to the Giants' 22-yard line with 31 seconds left, still trailing 21–17. On 3rd and 11, with 21 seconds left, Romo lofted a pass into the corner of the end zone that dropped just in front of receiver Patrick Crayton, who had a couple of steps on his defender. Replays showed that Crayton hesitated at the top of his route instead of running straight into the end zone, which is where Romo expected him. The pass fell incomplete as a result. Now on 4th down and 11, with just 16 seconds left, Romo heaved a desperation pass into the back of the end zone, into double coverage, which was intercepted by Giants cornerback R.W. McQuarters, effectively ending the game, 21–17 Giants. The 2007 Dallas Cowboys became the first #1 seeded NFC team to be eliminated in the divisional round since the San Francisco 49ers in 1987 and the first time it had happened since the then-current playoff format was instituted in 1990. The Giants went on to beat the Green Bay Packers the next week in the NFC Championship Game, then shocked the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
