Both teams could be eliminated Sunday, but if results break their way, one of Dallas (5-9) or Philadelphia (4-9-1) could have a lot to play for in Week 17. But because of the caliber of these teams relative to Rams-Seahawks in the same broadcast window on Fox, there’ll be a lot of the country that doesn’t get to watch Eagles at Cowboys. For more info on if Cowboys-Eagles will be available to you on your local Fox affiliate at 4:25 p....

The Giants have averaged 14.4 points in that stretch, with Eli Manning cratering last week under the weight of five interceptions. Dallas enters tied for first with the Eagles and is rested following its bye, which did wonders for Tony Romo’s back and the overworked DeMarco Murray. A month ago, the Cowboys beat the Giants 31-21 at home, covering easily as 4.5-point faves. The Line: Cowboys -3.5, Total: 47.5...

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott threw an interception on the first play of the game, putting the Giants on the doorstep to an early 7-0. But the Cowboys defense held — a recurring theme on the night — forcing New York to settle for the first of its four field goals. A Dallas field goal evened the score, but Prescott’s offense continued to struggle early. Along with the interception, the Cowboys had a fumble and a missed field goal in their first four drives, while the Giants opened up a 12-3 lead....

St Lucia Stars Stars after one win and four losses from five league matches, find themselves right at the bottom of the points table with two points. After facing defeats in their first four matches straight, they finally managed to break their shackles in the previous fixture against Barbados Tridents to secure their first win of the season and this should give them some confidence going into this game. Batting: Andre Fletcher and Kieron Pollard who is the season’s second-highest run-getter, cracked a 52-ball 80 and a 54-ball 104 respectively in the previous game against Barbados Tridents....

Defending champion Trinbago Knight Riders haven’t had a successful start to their CPL campaign this season. They have managed just one win from three CPL games thus far. A close encounter in their previous outing against the Kings saw them fall short of the target by just five runs. The Knight Riders failed to get over the line after coming agonizingly close in pursuit of 158. A close defeat will hurt them and they will want to ensure they close out games going forward....

In a surprise announcement, it was revealed not too long ago that Crash Bandicoot 4 would include multiplayer and co-op modes for between 1 and 4 players. For those hoping to play co-operative “Pass N. Play” mode with others, players will need to unlock the world map in the game by completing the first couple of levels. Co-op mode can then be selected by pausing the game and going through the options menu....

Barcelona completed the rare sweep of Copa del Rey, Spanish league and Champions League trophies in 2011 and 2015. Since then it has gone on to win all three editions of the cup and two more La Liga titles, but its failure to repeat in Europe had led to speculation that Barcelona would not prioritize the Copa del Rey this season to save energy. But Barcelona’s commanding performance to overturn a 2-0 first-leg loss speaks otherwise....

The Brazil star arrived in Spain on Saturday after the clubs agreed a reported fee of €160million – a record purchase for Barca and the most expensive deal in history for a Premier League player. Coutinho visited the Hospital of Barcelona early on Monday to complete the first part of his medical and is due to undergo final checks at Camp Nou later. He will then meet some of his new team-mates before finally signing a five-and-a-half-year contract, alongside club president Josep Maria Bartomeu....

I have cystic fibrosis (CF), a rare genetic condition that usually manifests in severe respiratory disease and maintains a median age of death of about 30 years old. CF leads to an abundance of thick, sticky mucus that traps harmful bacteria in the lungs until it eventually suffocates patients from the inside. I was 27 when I entered the trial that halted my rapid deterioration, and that came after a lifetime of volunteering my body for clinical research and too many failures to count....

Speaking to the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Nadhim Zahawi also said providing a COVID-19 booster shot in the autumn was a possibility too. “I was speaking to [deputy chief medical officer] Jonathan Van-Tam this morning,” Zahawi told Marr. “We see very much probably an annual or booster in the autumn and then an annual [shot,] in the way we do with flu vaccinations where you look at what variant of virus is spreading around the world, rapidly produce a variant of vaccine and then begin to vaccinate and protect the nation....

Gregory, 23, is already serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. With the additional 10-game suspension, he will be able to return in Week 16.

Bryon Jones, Dallas’ first-round pick, collided with fellow corner Morris Claiborne and injured his left shoulder. Thankfully for Jones and the Cowboys, the injury doesn’t seem too serious. MORE: Greg Hardy impact being felt | Joseph Randle turning heads “That sure was a concern because that was the shoulder he had fixed (that ended his season early at UConn last year),” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the Star-Telegram. “If we had to do anything we could probably do some playing, but under the circumstances we’ll just rest him real good and call it a good thing it worked out....

The Eagles won by a comfortable 23-9 over the NFC East rival Cowboys, but the victory mostly came down to Philadelphia being slightly less incompetent on offense than Dallas. Carson Wentz did just enough to outperform third-string rookie Ben DiNucci, completing 15 of 27 passes for 123 yards (4.6 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns. Wentz also threw two interceptions and lost a pair of fumbles. DiNucci looked serviceable at times but just couldn’t lead the Dallas offense into the end zone, completing 21 of 40 passes for 180 yards (4....

This week’s matchup will showcase NFC East rivals as the Cowboys travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the Giants. The Giants, surprisingly, entered the week as one of the six remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. They’re 2-0 after beating the Titans in Week 1 and the Panthers in Week 2. Saquon Barkley has been their star so far; he’s showing just how dangerous he can be when fully healthy....

Dallas struggled even more than it had already been with Dalton out due to a concussion and then because of COVID-19, but the red-headed veteran is back in time for a trip to take on a red-hot Minnesota team that’s flying high off the first Monday night win of Kirk Cousins’ career. Dalvin Cook was relatively quiet in Week 10, but expect him to bounce back in a big way against a shaky-at-best Cowboys defense....

After the Texans won comfortably over the Lions in the first game, the Washington Football Team used a dominant fourth quarter to run away with a 41-16 win over the Cowboys. Rookie running back Antonio Gibson had a career day for Washington, racking up 115 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. Two of those touchdowns came in the fourth quarter.

On Saturday, playing for the Arizona Coyotes, Rinaldo was at the center of another controversial, on-ice incident. During the second period of Arizona’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, Rinaldo hit Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon near center ice. MacKinnon, the leading scorer on Colorado, hunched over following the hit, which was not penalized. After taking a few strides, Rinaldo was approached by Avalanche rookie Samuel Girard. With Girard’s gloves still on, Rinaldo dropped his, and punched Girard in the face....
