The only time the Dallas Cowboys lost to the New York Giants in their last ten meetings, it helped keep them out of the playoffs in week 17 of the 2020 season. Brian Daboll’s upstart team doesn’t have the same stakes coming to AT&T Stadium for Thanksgiving, but off a loss to the Lions they suddenly find themselves behind the Cowboys in the NFC East again, the only division in the conference with at least three teams with winning records (the NFC East actually has a total of four).
The Cowboys still have a lot to prove this season, with their latest 40-3 win putting them back in the conversation as Super Bowl contenders.
