Needless to say, this game will go a long way toward determining which team will have the ability to challenge the Eagles for the top spot in the division. It also could be key in potential tiebreaker scenarios between the teams as they jockey for wild-card positioning.
The Cowboys beat the Giants 23-16 on "Monday Night Football" in Week 2. That was with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Now, the team will have Dak Prescott behind center, so they should, in theory, fare well against a Giants defense that is banged up at cornerback.

7:28 p.m. — The Giants are keeping the chains moving, and a Matt Breida run allows them to cross midfield. However, there are now under 6 minutes remaining, and the Giants are still down two possessions.
7:26 p.m. — The Giants are looking to answer the Cowboys, and they got a first down via a Saquon Barkley run. They need to work quickly, as they are down 15 with about half of the fourth quarter remaining.

7:22 p.m. — The call on the field is confirmed, as expected. No TD for CeeDee.
7:19 p.m. — Mike McCarthy is challenging the Cowboys' first-and-goal play, as CeeDee Lamb nearly tapped his toes in to get a touchdown. However, his heel came down after his second toe hit in bounds, so this is unlikely to be overturned.
