The Dallas Cowboys, winners of their last five games, will try to continue their hot run as they take on their division rivals the New York Giants on Sunday at 4:25 p.m (EST) at the AT&T Stadium.
After recording three interceptions in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the season-opener, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been efficient passing the ball as he recorded a passing percentage of 70.1 percent with 10 touchdowns and just two picks in the last five games.
While Romo has been the focal point of the Cowboys offense for almost a decade now, the rise of DeMarco Murray and the team's potent running game has certainly helped alleviate some pressure on the injury--prone quarterback.
Well, maybe "easy" isn't the best word. I don't think that's the term I would use, but I do think any time you have a running game, it benefits everybody," Romo said of Murray, who has a chance to become the first running back in NFL history to record at least 100 rushing yards in the first six games of a season.
Cowboys head coach Joseph Garret announced backup running Joseph Randle will play against the Giants despite being accused of shoplifting at a mall, Randle, who rushed for a season-high 52-yards in a 20-23 statement win against the defending Super Bowl champs Seattle Seahawks last week, has already been slapped with a hefty fine by the NFL.
Meanwhile, the Giants are now on surviving mode after seeing their best receiver Victor Cruz hurt his right patellar tendon, an injury that will keep him off the field for the remainder of the season.
Giants starting quarterback Eli Manning has already covered 1,325 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions this season to lead an offense that was literally shut down by the Philadelphia Eagles in a 27-0 loss last week.
Manning, a tough as nail veteran, called his teammates to move from the humiliating loss and concentrated on their upcoming game against the up-and-coming Cowboys on Sunday.
"We only have 16 regular-season games. You can't let one game affect the next game," Manning told ESPN ahead of their NFC East division clash. "You put it away and you've got to do it all over again for the next one."
