The clock stopped following that play because the Cowboys had been called for an offsides penalty. And even though the Giants declined the penalty, the rules say the clock doesn't start until the snap after penalty enforcements in the final five minutes of the game -- even if the penalty is declined.

I believe it's last 5 minutes of the game and last 2 minutes of the first half - same as out of bounds.
