The last time the Cowboys played the Giants, they had just cut ties with linebacker Jaylon Smith in a somewhat surprising move. They went on to blast their big city rival 44-20 to improve to 4-1 on the year. In a twist of delicious coincidence, their next clash with the Giants will feature Smith suiting up to play against his former team.
The Giants are expecting linebacker Jaylon Smith to play Sunday against the #Cowboys because of their Covid-depleted roster. Smith was signed to the practice squad today.

Despite a confounding decline on offense, the Cowboys are winners of two straight, remain undefeated against their division, and sit one game out of the top seed in the NFC.
