The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the New York Giants in the 2012 NFC Championship Game. After the first half, the Giants currently lead by a score of 10-7.

The 49ers jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter on a 73-yard touchdown pass from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis. The Giants tied things up early in the second quarter when Eli Manning threw a 6-yard pass to Bear Pascoe for a New York touchdown. The score remained tied until the final five seconds of the half, when Lawrence Tynes nailed a 31-yard field goal to put the Giants on top, 10-7.

Smith only has six passing yards other than the touchdown pass to Davis, while Manning and receiver Victor Cruz have basically been on fire since the rain stopped in the second quarter. Manning has 181 passing yards in the half, while Cruz has 125 receiving yards.

Victor Cruz has been one of the most surprising things about the 2011 NFL season, emerging from obscurity and the Giants' practice squad to become one of the league's most productive receivers. On the Giants' last drive of the first half in the 2012 NFC Championship Game, which culminated in a field goal to give New York a 10-7 halftime lead, he reminded the viewing audience of why.

Cruz ducked and dived into the holes in the Niners' coverage, making himself available for Eli Manning, making four catches for 56 yards on the drive, and getting New York into position for Lawrence Tynes to kick a 31-yard field goal.

Cruz has had a massive first half beyond just that drive, too, with eight catches for a staggering 125 yards. If Manning can keep finding him, Big Blue may have little trouble advancing to Super Bowl XLVI.
