The first came after Chicago's Isaiah Frey recovered a fumble by Jarius Wright in the end zone, only to have it overturned on a replay review. Harrison Smith set up the second when he intercepted a long pass from Cutler to Marshall at the 12 on the first play of the fourth quarter. Peterson kept the drive going with a 4yard run to the 14 on fourthand1, only to be hit with a 13yard loss on the next play, and Walsh booted the goahead field goal with just over 8 minutes left..It seems appropriate that the final game of the regular season would be an NFC East battle to determine a direct playoff spot and division title. The Cowboys should have wrapped this up long ago in my mind, but they have faltered at key moments. Not to be outdone, the Giants have had some slipups as well.

Notes: RB Knile Davis, the Chiefs' thirdround pick, was absent to take part in the NFLPA's Rookie Premiere. He'll be back next week. WR Dwayne Bowe was limited in practice due to cramps. Reid had music
