They will be facing division rivals New York Giants at the AT&amp;T Stadium.After righting the wrongs of the Green Bay Packers loss, Dallas rolled into Minneapolis and torched the Minnesota Vikings 40-3.Now facing the 7-3 Giants, Dallas need to consolidate. A loss would undo all the good work the team did against the Vikings and would also again raise the same questions about the Cowboys as contenders.The Cowboys come into the game as heavy favorites and rightly so after hammering the previously 8-1 Vikings. The Giants are coming off a poor loss to the Detroit Lions and are also dealing with a host of injuries.If there ever was a lay-up for Dallas, this is the game. While it is still professional football, so nothing can be taken for granted, this is a game the Cowboys should be winning.In doing so, they would move a step closer to the division-leading Philadelphia Eagles (9-1). This will put pressure on them to take care of business against the Packers on Sunday Night Football.But the photo of Jerry Jones that is now circulating around has the potential to overshadow what is normally a great time of year.
