NFL Moves Buccaneers-Cowboys To Prime Time Dec. 18
Perhaps the most disappointing loss came at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. They are 8-4 and still a probable Wild Card team. “We’ll definitely go back and look at the mistakes we made in that first game”. The Lions finish out the season vs. the Bears, at the Giants and Cowboys, and vs. the Packers. NY suffered a critical loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that put them another game behind the Cowboys. NY has won close games against inferior competition on its way to the conference’s third-best record, but their offense has struggled all season long. “That could be an important factor down the stretch”, Newsday’s Bob Glauber said.
“This game coming up is huge”, Jennings said.
It would be only fitting for Dallas to win the division at MetLife Stadium.
With their success this season and their recent failures in previous seasons, many people have continued to question whether the Dallas Cowboys would be able to keep the good times rolling. They take on Jacksonville and Indianapolis, who are not almost as good as we thought they would be before the season started. “This is a new game”.
The Broncos defense can help them win any game, but they don’t want to rely on Paxton Lynch to do so. “That speaks for itself”.
The Giants quarterback apologized to Shepard last week following the game with no targets. Which kind of speaks for itself too. I have heard many people in NY radio and National Football League people say that the Cowboys should not go into the playoffs on a fifteen-game winning streak. “What it does allow you to do is when you’ve got guys on the fence with injury to not push them …” The Giants are banged up, especially at the most critical of positions when it comes to facing Dallas. Elliott leads the league in rushing, and by a wide margin of 242 yards over DeMarco Murray, the Offensive Player of the Year from 2014 (as you may recall). “It’s going to be a great environment on Sunday night”.
By the time they play that game on Sunday night, the Giants could be in must-win mode.
The Giants saw their six-game winning streak come to an end in Week 13 at Pittsburgh, and they have back-to-back games with Dallas and Detroit before closing the season against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington. But Jones has left the door open for Romo to see his first game action since the preseason once the Cowboys secure home-field advantage.
The Giants aren’t looking at that, though. “I don’t care who wins”, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence said. If they beat or tie the Giants this week, they will clinch the NFC East. “[The Cowboys] have been doing a good job of winning close games and playing well”. I know Washington lost, so we didn’t lose any ground, I guess, on them.
