foul took place. good call by the official. . eight-yard penalty as it turns out. 26 seconds. beckham to the right side this time, one-on-one with brock. eli in the back of the end zone -- and it is caught for a touchdown by larry donnell! what a drive! let's make sure that's a catch and a score. obviously they'll look at it. does he control it? all the way to the ground inbounds. >> cris: whoa. that's such a great catch. the fact that nobody can knock that ball out of his hands. pits's loose there. he has it. he's down.

at all, they're going to call it incomplete but he held it. unbelievable. what a perfectly thrown ball and what an unbelievable catch by larry donnell. >> al: touchdown confirmed. >> cris: wow! >> al: josh brown for the extra point. eight plays, 82 yards. it took 84 seconds and the 49ers have 24 seconds to try to get within field goal range. >> cris: wow! what a ball game. >> al: amazing drive. >> cris: this is some catch! he has to reach over the top of bowman, lift it up, now grab it, land and if that ball wiggles at all, that is going to be incomplete, going to the ground, not controlling the football. but they can't strip it. fantastic play! what a clutch play.

the game created opportunities. just being in there. >> al: and the 49ers unable to defend shane vereen on the march down the field. >> cris: wow. wow! >> al: cruz comes out on to the field. the 49ers have, for what it's worth, a couple of time-outs. they send ellington back into the end zone as josh brown will kick off. jool >> cris: phil dawson, a career long of 56 yards. he'd probably have to get it somewhere at least inside the 40

>> al: oh! miller's going right down there to save some time on the clock but he had a chance to maybe bring it back to the 30 or so. in any event, 17 seconds now. dawson staying loose and kaepernick will have a couple of opportunities to try to get them into field goal range. >> al: forget the wasted time-out. i don't know if it's going to come into play or not but it might. 49ers wasted one right near the end of the third quarter. >> al: beckham getting the crowd stirred up.

of seconds on the clock? i don't know what this is about. clearly much ado about nothing. all right. from the 22. kaepernick has had a tremendous second half. buying time. runs out of room. throw's incomplete. that took six seconds. down to 11. >> michelle:py spoke to phil dawson before the game. he told me he converted a 56-yarder in the pre-game. he said to me the is great, the conditions are perfect. if i have an opportunity like that and i miss, it's on me. >> al: all right, michelle. it is a windless night. >> cris: the guy that has made so many catches like this, a guy named anquan boldin where you

throw something else, let him see if he can outjump landon collins. i've seen it before. >> al: is he's in a slot to the right. kaepernick rolling the other way. he's going to be taken down with four seconds by demontre morris. now you're down to, barring a defensive foul, probably the final play of the game. >> cris: i think thomas just came unblocked up middle and kaepernick, that was clearly not by design. nobody blocked him. not sure if that was hyde's man or not. >> al: giants playing the old cover seven right now. everybody back. third and 13. looking for rangel. holding. end of the game.

the giants pull one out of the hat. and for the 49ers, that's going to be a really long ride home. they played well, they played much better than most people thought. their best game clearly since opening night. but not enough. giants lead the east now, they go to 3 -2. niners go to 1-4 as they win by a score of 30-27. eli throws for 441 yards. there's the winning touchdown, donnell hauling it in, a brilliant catch. coming up next, the volkswagen post-game report and you'll see that right after these messages

from an injury, seven catches, better than 100 yards. one of his catches for a touchdown. larry donnell caught the winning touchdown at the back of the end zone in the waning seconds. 1 of 6 catches he had tonight. all three are with michelle. >> michelle: bob, that. eli, you. entered that last drive without reuben randle knowing that odell beckham jr. was hobbled. very few options for you. how did you keep it together? >> we just put it together. larry down there, we got in the odell came in for a special play. had the pass interference, then we hit larry on post down the seam. target. great catch. a big win today. proud of the guys the way we fought and came out and got that game. >> michelle: you talked to me before the game about finishing

fourth quarter leads. >> this is special because we had an opportunity to win games early in the season. we had some two-minute opportunities and we weren't able to come there but today we came through. i think it is big for the offense, young guys playing the offensive line, coaches, everybody to get that win, knowing we can get back to winning those types of games. that's a fun atmosphere and a fun crowd and a big win for giants. >> michelle: 41 completions. a giants single game record. how's your arm feeling? >> feels good. guys were getting open. offensive line was protected. it was a fun day. great weather. fun day to throw the football and proud of the guys the way we competed. >> michelle: thanks, eli. odell beckham jr. you scored is early, then you ran off hobbled. but you came back in during that final drive. what was the plan there? what could you do? >> the plan was win the game.

we were able to put a full game together and be able to finish strong. >> michelle: you seem emotional right now. what's going on? >> just happy we won. just happy we won. >> michelle: how concerned are you about the hamstring? >> i'm not really worried. got a long week to prepare and get right. >> michelle: hey, congratulations. >> al: thank you. >> michelle: to your teammate, larry donnell, what happened on that play? >> well, first of all i want to thank the lord. it is something we worked on all week, we seen in the green zone. we got the look we wanted. eli put it up there and i went and got it. >> michelle: you went and got it. talk about the effort involved and whether or not you had any doubts that you could come down with it? >> well, you know, when we get down there, that's where i feel comfortable down there, throwing the ball up, going to get it. we seen the look. ekind of gave me the eye.

he put it up there and i had to go do it. you have two happy teammates emotional. what's this all about? e started off a little shaky. feels good to get a win. we came through in the end and won and that feels sensational. bob okay >> bob: tunny ony dungy, in the standings, wins and loses may all look the same but they don't feel the same. how big a victory was this for the giants? tony: this puts them in first place in the division. but i was out at practice yesterday and this is starting to be a group that is getting some confidence and the reason they have confidence is because of eli manning. i believe they're going to win the nfc east because i think they have the best quarterback

play in the division right now and to keep things close. coach coughlin said they're still a work in progress but if they can keep games close, they feel like they can win them with eli down the stretch, this was a big, big win for the giants tonight. >> bob: we'll turn as always to mike florio of pro football talk. mike, a third straight cowboy loss. tony dungy just said that with eli the giants have the best quarterback play in the division. he said right now, because of course tony romo isn't playing. how committed, considering that matt cassel is on the roster, how committed are the cowboys to weeden at this point? >> after today coach jason garrett said they will evaluate the quarterback position and the bye week a very good opportunity to do that. it could be matt cassel when the cowboys take on the giants in two weeks. in one week from tonight the patriots and colts get together again. which quarterback will we see

for the colts? matthew hasselbeck at age 40 has looked great in place after andrew luck. i think the colts will keep patriots guessing as long as they as the week unfolds. >> bob: considering the developments of the past several game a lot of people will be looking forward to. tonight the giants come back 49ers. 37-40.

. >> lewis bobbing and weaving in space. >> al: well, well, well. new england at indianapolis next week. a few story lines. lest anybody forget the colts were in the middle of the whole getting the deflategate thing started. had brady been suspended for four games, this would have been his first one back. however, thomas comes in there -- tom comes in there, as hot as in in. we started the season by saying for the patriots it was us against the world. us is winning to this point. >> cris: indianapolis i'm sure looks forward to having tom brady in there. i'm sure he'll get a warm reception but i would say be careful what you wish for because right now tom brady probably feels the same way about this indianapolis colts franchise that turned in those footballs that started this whole thing. so any time in the past we've seen tom brady a bit angry when a season starts usually leads to

pretty good football. >> al: as mike said, i'm sure the colts will keep the patriots guessing as to whether luck is ready to play or hasselbeck. >> he got a little emotional, too, because he was awfully sick, came out and was brilliant. >> al: patriots at colts is on the menu for you next sunday night. the giants come from tonight in the meadowlands tonight. great try in the end to win the game which a score of 30-27. until next week, al michaels, cris collinsworth, michele tafoya, the whole gang saying goodnight from east rutherford, new jersey. nbc sports thanks you for watching this special
