The Dallas Cowboys are set to face off against the New York Giants on Sunday, with a chance to extend their winning streak to 10 games. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who has a 14-game winning streak against the Giants since 2016, will aim to make history by surpassing Bob Griese's record of 17 consecutive wins against a single opponent. Prescott is expected to start despite the game having no playoff implications, and the question on everyone's mind is how long he will play. Either way, this will go down as one of Prescott's best seasons, as he enters the final week first in the NFL with 4,482 yards passing. Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson will also be looking to make a statement in the finale, as he seeks to become the first player 5-foot-8 or shorter to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving since 1989. Robinson has been playing against a Dallas secondary without Trevon Diggs, who was released on Tuesday. The Cowboys' offensive line will face a tough test against the Giants' pass rush, led by Brian Burns, who trails only Myles Garrett in sacks this season. Dallas will look to keep Prescott upright, regardless of how long he plays. The Giants, meanwhile, will be without two starters in their secondary, CB Cor'Dale Flott and S Jevon Holland. The Cowboys have won nine in a row against the Giants and 16 of the past 17, and will look to avoid consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 2000. In other news, Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart has accounted for 22 TDs with just five interceptions in his first 11 professional starts. WR George Pickens needs 80 yards receiving to reach 1,500 in his Dallas debut, while K Brandon Aubrey is one game away from tying the franchise record for most field goals made in a season. The game is expected to be a close one, with both teams eliminated from playoff contention. The Cowboys are trying to avoid consecutive losing seasons, while the Giants can still secure the top draft pick with a loss and a Las Vegas victory against Kansas City.
