As for those 7-3 Cowboys, they're tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for first place in the NFC East, and they'll look to keep pace with Philly by beating the G-Men. Dallas is coming off a bye week following a 31-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. The Giants enter this game having lost five straight after narrowly losing to the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 11, 16-10.
Dating back to 2013, Dallas has won three straight versus New York, but these games tend to be very competitive while coming down to the fourth quarter. That was the case when these two teams faced off in Week 7. After the Giants jumped out to a 14-7 lead at Dallas, the Cowboys scored 21 unanswered points and managed to hold off the Giants late in the game for a 31-21 win.
Tony Romo threw for 279 yards and three scores while DeMarco Murray ran for 128 yards and a touchdown. Eli Manning threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns, while rookie receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught two of those scores. New York pulled to within one score twice in the fourth quarter, but never could catch Dallas once it went ahead in the second half.
