The New York Giants finally had the ball bounce their way.

After being up 10 points with 11:54 left in the game, Geno Smith led the Seattle Seahawks on a 14-play, 95-yard drive to cut the deficit to just three points with 2:09 left in the game. Smith then got Seattle into field-goal range in an attempt to tie the game with less than a minute left.
