Quick Take: Pivotal NFC East showdown awaits

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Why this game is intriguing: A no doubter. The NFC East might be the most intriguing division this year, with no weak links, no boring quarterbacks and no reason to turn away. The fact that everything is still up for grabs helps. The Giants, clearly, are the class of the division, but they are also the victim in the Cowboys' lone divisional win. For all their issues -- they have more than a few -- the 'Boys are 3-2 in the conference and 1-0 in the division. A victory here gives them the tiebreaker over New York, as well as their first win over the G-Men in Cowboys Stadium. Dallas might have to do it without DeMarco Murray, which would put more pressure on Tony Romo. On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys definitely will be missing star linebacker Sean Lee, who appears to be done for the season. A win would be Romo's biggest feat in some time, just for the validation it would provide that things are headed in the right direction.
