The New York Giants (2-7) head down to Big D to face their long-time rivals, the Dallas Cowboys (5-3), at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Here are five things to know about the Week 10 game.
The series
This is the 124th meeting between the Giants and Cowboys since Dallas became an NFL franchise in 1960.
This is the second meeting of the season between the two clubs. In their first meeting on September 10 at MetLife Stadium, Dallas crushed the Giants, 40-0, on Sunday Night Football.
The Cowboys have now won 12 of the last 13 meetings.
With a win, Dallas will have swept the season series 26 times. The Giants have done it 13 times over the last 64 years.
The Giants, who won the first game ever at AT&T Stadium in 2009, have a record of 5-9 in AT&T Stadium and are 20-40-1 against Dallas all-time on the road.
The Giants have not beaten the Cowboys on the road since September 11, 2016, when they won, 20-19.
What's at stake
For the Giants, not a whole lot. After getting blasted by the Raiders in Las Vegas last Sunday, 30-6, they are 2-7 and are simply playing out the string with hopes of landing a top-5 (or better) draft pick. They currently hold the fourth overall pick in next year’s NFL draft.
The Cowboys just need to keep winning games. They failed to close in on the first-place Philadelphia Eagles last week, losing to them, 28-23, on the road. The Cowboys now sit 2.5 games behind the Eagles in the NFC East. Dallas is currently in the postseason mix as the sixth seed in the NFC.
The state of the Giants
The Giants lost starting quarterback Daniel Jones for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee in the first half against Las Vegas last Sunday.
With backup Tyrod Taylor (ribs) already on IR and scheduled to miss the next three games, the Giants are rolling with third-stringer Tommy DeVito at quarterback.
DeVito, a UDFA out of Illinois, was a local New Jersey high school star at Don Bosco Prep who spent the entire offseason on the Gianst’ 90-man roster and then on the practice squad until Jones was injured last month.
The Giants also signed Matt Barkley and Jacob Eason to the practice squad.
What's going on with the Cowboys?
The Cowboys entered the season coming off consecutive 12-5 finishes under head coach Mike McCarthy. They are slightly behind that pace after eight games this season.
Dallas is 5-3 with wins over the Giants, Jets, Patriots, Chargers and Rams. They were bushwhacked in the desert by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 and have lost to the 49ers and Eagles.
All three losses were on the road. At home, the Cowboys have outscored opponents, 111-33, the largest point differential in the NFL this season.
They now face the 2-7 Giants at home, a team they have beaten 12 of the last 13 dating back to 2017, and then head down to Carolina, who are 1-7 on the season.
Dallas will then have their longest homestand of the season — three games — in which they will host the Commanders, Seahawks, and Eagles.
