STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Cowboys and Giants play twice over
last four weeks of season. Regular season finale is New Year's Day
in New York. ... Last season, teams had already played both
regular-season games by mid-November. That Nov. 14 win by Cowboys
in New York was first game after coach Wade Phillips was fired and
Jason Garrett took over. ... Dallas has lost five consecutive
Sunday night games. ... Giants 2-0 at Cowboys Stadium, including
33-31 win in 2009 that was first regular season game played there.
... Eli Manning is most-sacked quarterback by Cowboys LB DeMarcus
Ware, NFL sacks leader with 15. Ware has sacked Manning nine times
in his career. ... Manning's start will be 116th consecutive,
matching Ron Jaworski (Philadelphia, 1977-84) for third-longest
streak by quarterback in NFL history. Only streaks longer are by
Manning's older brother Peyton (208 for Indianapolis) and Brett
Favre (297). ... Tony Romo is Cowboys' seventh starting quarterback
since Manning's starting streak began Nov. 21, 2004. ... Giants PK
Lawrence Tynes has made franchise-record 147 extra points in a row.
... Cowboys have faced two teams - Philadelphia (99) and Washington
(102) - more than they have faced Giants (97) in regular season.
... Romo goes into 76th career regular-season game just shy of
20,000 yards passing, and joining former Dallas QBs Troy Aikman,
Roger Staubach and Danny White to reach that mark. He has 19,975
yards passing with 140 TDs. ... With four games left, RB DeMarco
Murray has 872 yards rushing, 136 shy of breaking Tony Dorsett's
team rookie record that has held since 1977. NFL career rushing
leader Emmitt Smith ran for 937 yards as a rookie in 1990.
