Lawrence Tynes broke the 100-point barrier for the season and kept up the New York Giants' hopes of reaching the play-offs.

The Greenock-born kicker made a simple 23-yard field goal in the final quarter as the Giants downed Dallas Cowboys 31-24.

He also made three point-after-touchdown kicks to take his tally for the season to 105 points.

Tynes had been under pressure after the Giants brought in four kickers for try-outs last week.
