After Dallas tied the game midway through the fourth quarter, the offense was strapping up for another drive only to see the ex-Cowboy break the ensuing kickoff 100 yards and score the go-ahead touchdown in a 27-20 victory on Sunday.

For the play that helped the Giants take sole possession of first place in the NFC East, Harris has been nominated for the Castrol EDGE Clutch Performer of the Week, the NFL announced today.

"When he came screaming out of there, we had an entire sideline of people who were not only inspired by it, but they were extremely happy and not worried about showing our joy," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of the play that tied the franchise record for longest kickoff return touchdown. "We were excited about that."

Fans may vote for Harris at www.nfl.com/castrol-edge, and the winner will be announced Friday on "NFL Total Access" on NFL Network and then posted to NFL.com.

Here is a look at the nominees for the Castrol EDGE Clutch Performer of Week 7:

KIRK COUSINS
WASHINGTON REDSKINS

Cousins threw three second-half touchdown passes, including the winning throw to Jordan Reed with 24 seconds remaining, to lead the Redskins to the largest comeback in team history in a 31-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jefferson thwarted the Baltimore Ravens' last chance to even up the score by intercepting a pass by quarterback Joe Flacco in the back of the end zone in the final seconds to preserve a 26-18 win. The late-game defensive stand helped the Cardinals improve to 5-2 and maintain their lead in the NFC West.
