The Dallas Cowboys have already clinched a playoff spot, becoming the first team to punch their ticket to the NFL playoffs. Jarvis Landry Jersey .A victory Sunday over the New York Giants (8-4) would lock down the NFC East title and keep the Cowboys (11-1) on the inside track for the No. 1 seed in the conference, which guarantees every Dallas postseason game would be played at AT&T Stadium.Oh yeah, the Cowboys also have payback on their minds.The Giants are the only team to beat the Cowboys this season, doing so 20-19 in Week 1. Dallas has run off a franchise-record 11 consecutive wins since to forge the leagues best record.Im looking forward to it a lot personally, and then I know this team (is), Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott said. Theyre the only blemish on our record right now. And just to be able to go up there at their place and be able to do what they did to us the first game, were excited for the opportunity.Prescotts first start in place of injured Tony Romo wasnt necessarily rookie-like. The fourth-round pick completed 25 of 45 passes for 227 yards, without a touchdown or interception.Prescott has progressed considerably since. Hes the leagues third-ranked passer and he has thrown for 19 touchdowns against just two picks.I watched the tape, and I shake my head sometimes at the things I did or the throws I didnt make because I wasnt trusting it, Prescott said of his first NFL game. But Ive definitely grown a ton since then, just being able to see the defenses faster, recognize whats going on, knowing and making confident decisions, and letting the ball go.Fellow rookie and NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott ran for only 51 yards on 20 carries in his debut. It remains his lowest total of the season.It does seem like it was forever ago because weve been through so much more as a team, and weve grown so much. It does seem like it was a long time, but we have to use it as a learning experience.The Giants prevailed in the opener on Eli Mannings touchdown pass to Victor Cruz with 6 minutes left. It remains the only scoring catch this season for Cruz, who has seen his role reduced in recent weeks.Cruz and coach Ben McAdoo met this week to discuss the receivers role. Cruz expects to be a bigger part of the offense against Dallas.We had an honest conversation between both of us, Cruz said. He laid it to me straight and I gave him my thoughts as well, Cruz said. I think it was productive and it ended well. It was a conversation that I guess needed to be had and we had it.And now we can turn the page and move on.McAdoo wants to see more consistency out of the offense. The Giants havent totaled 300 yards in either of the last two weeks or scored at least 30 in any game this season. On Saturday, they activated dual-threat running back Shane Vereen, who has been out since Week 3 with a triceps injury.When you have been as inconsistent as we have on offense, its a challenge, McAdoo said. Victor, like everybody else, including myself, wants to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem, so my door is always open for any of these guys that want to come in and have a conversation.New Yorks defense took a hit this week with Jason Pierre-Pauls surgery for a sport hernia. The defensive end is out up to six weeks, meaning he cant return until deep in the playoffs.The Giants plan to have Pierre-Paul back on the field ... this season.JPP is an X-Man. Hes a mutant, linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. Dude came back from blowing his hand off in four months. He blew his hand off and was playing in a football game four months later.I mean, that is a mutant to me, so I think the guy is going to be back. The better we are, the deeper we get into January and February is the ultimate goal, of course. Hopefully we can get him back.The Giants plan to fill the Pierre-Paul void by committee, with defensive ends Romeo Okwara, Owa Odighizuwa and Kerry Wynn, and pass-rushing linebacker Devon Kennard possibly taking on bigger roles.The Cowboys have only faced two teams -- Washington (112) and Philadelphia (110) -- more than they have faced the Giants (108) in the regular season. JaWuan James Jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Julius Thomas Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.cheapfootballdolphinsjerseys.com/ .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. STILLWATER, Oka. -- To maintain a clear path to the Big 12 Championship, No. 17 Oklahoma State needs to overcome the nations most potent aerial attack and Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes.For Oklahoma State (7-2, 5-1 Big 12, No. 13 CFP), two more wins will set up a showdown with intrastate rival No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3 for the Big 12 title. But getting past Mahomes and Texas Tech (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) on Saturday will be a challenge.Tech ranks second in the nation in total offense (587.1 yards per game) and fourth in scoring, averaging 46.2 points. Mahomes tops the country with 3,886 passing yards and third with 31 touchdown tosses.Mahomes is an outstanding player with outstanding targets, and its kind of hard to get a grasp on them, said Cowboys defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer. They have concepts, but then their biggest plays come off of when he scrambles around and creates a different play from it. So we have to be very disciplined and stay with the receivers a long time.Hes a great talent and hes going to be a tough task for us.The Red Raiders, looking to recover from a 45-37 loss to Texas last week, know they face a tough task against Oklahoma State, which it has not beaten since 2008.Its a team that continues to find a way to win at the end, said Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury of OSU. Theyve had some really good comebacks. Theyre offensively tremendous skill players. The young running back (freshman Justice Hill) is doing a great job, (receiver James) Washingtons as good as anybody in the country, and the quarterback (Mason Rudolph) is throwing it really well. Defensively, they tend to make plays when they have to.Some things to watch on Saturday:1. MAHOMES ROLLING: Mahomes has been busy piling up ridiculous numbers, highlighted by his performance Oct. 22 against Oklahoma, when he completed 52 of 88 passes, tying the NCAA record with 734 yards and amassing five touchdowns. He has been sacked seven times the last two games, but still completed 61 percent of his passes. I think hes a potential first-round pick, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. He reminds me a lot of Dak Prrescott, when we played Dak at Mississippi State. Chase Allen Jersey. Weve got a great challenge.2. TURNOVER FACTORY: While the Cowboys defense ranks 98th (out of 128 FBS schools) in total defense, allowing 443.8 yards per contest, they generate a lot of turnovers. Safety Jordan Sterns interception in the end zone on the final play of last weeks 43-37 win over Kansas State was OSUs 11th of the season, leading the Big 12 and tied for 22nd in the nation. Overall, the Cowboys have forced 20 turnovers, most in the Big 12 and ninth in the country, with at least one turnover in every game and 10 in the last four.3. FLAGS PICKED UP: Through the first seven games of the season, Texas Tech was one of the most penalized teams in the Big 12, averaging 9.9 penalties and 85 yards per game. However, the last two games have seen a marked turnaround. The Red Raiders total of just five penalties for 19 combined yards in the last two weeks, including just one flag for 5 yards in their win over TCU Oct. 29, was the lowest in the nation.4. RUDOLPH SHINING BRIGHT: OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph has put together an outstanding season. After completing 29 of 38 passes for 457 yards and five touchdowns last week against Kansas State, Rudolph ranks seventh in the nation with 2,989 yards. His streak of 163 pass attempts without an interception ended in that game, tossing just four picks overall, with 22 touchdowns. He can throw the deep ball, ranking third in the nation with 26 completions of 30 or more yards, including seven of 50-plus.5. RUN DOWN: With thriving passing attacks, both teams have endured struggles running the ball. Oklahoma State ranks 101st in the nation with an average of 141.2 yards rushing per game, while Texas Tech is 124th at 101.3. Freshman Justice Hill leads the Cowboys with 663 yards rushing, with four touchdowns. Demarcus Felton tops the Red Raiders with 289 yards on the ground, with three touchdowns. Mahomes is second with 260 yards and has scored 10 rushing touchdowns.
