you got the Cowgirls game right, never mind the Giants scored 35 points!

I listened to the last couple of minutes on my car radio, the last thing I heard was the 4th down pass with just over a minute left.. "Beasley catches it, out of the end zone, Cowboys turn the ball over on downs". hours later I saw the score and was like, WTF??!! I knew the Giants just needed to take a knee, so I knew something freaky had happened.. Beasley was in the end zone on that catch!
