As I recall, the pass interference was at about the 3 yard line, which means they would have lined up and botched another field goal attempt.

It would have been re-kicked from the original line of scrimmage...

And if memory serves, Bryant had three game winning field goals this year. The Niners got lucky, and probably wouldn't have gotten so lucky the next time.

However, the Giants kicker, punter, and long snapper should be cleaning out their lockers right about now...

What are the rules then for instant replay in this situation: Could the Giants have asked for a review replay though the game was over?

Good point. I was pulling for the Giants in that game, but I don't share their pain. I'm merely a Cowboy fan who loves to see the 49ers lose whenever possible.

But it certainly was an entertaining game, and it had the wackiest last minute I've seen in a long time.
