— -- Mariska Hargitay was on the field at the New York Giants game Sunday night. The "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" actor has spent 17 years playing a detective who investigates crimes such as sexual assault and domestic violence, and her off-camera life has been spent bringing awareness to those same issues.

The Giants were honoring her Joyful Heart Foundation, which had produced another series of anti-domestic-violence public service announcements with NFL players such as William Gay and Jason Witten. Hargitay waved to the Giants' home crowd as she participated in the ceremonial coin flip. On the other side of the field were the Dallas Cowboys and their defensive end Greg Hardy.
