Sunday Night Lights! Giants at Cowboys

       This Sunday night, the National Football League rivalry match between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys will take place at the AT&T Stadium. It is a great way to start week 1 in such a meaningful game. Lets face it, most would favor the Cowboys over the Giants, but wait... Injuries on Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, and Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant should not be much of a concern. Both teams have great depth in the WR position. What I believe could make the difference, is the running game.
             
        In the 2014 season, the New York Giants rushed for 1,603 yards, behind Andre Williams' 721 yards, on 217 attempts http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/nyg/new-york-giants. The Dallas Cowboys rushed for 2,354 behind DeMarco Murray's 1,845 yards, on 392 attempts http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys. Seems to be lopsided, favoring the Cowboys. Since the end of the season, Dallas has let DeMarco Murray go, who had since then signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Cowboys then bring in Darren McFadden and recently sign Christine Michael from the Seattle Seahawks.

         Do not expect a DeMarco Murray performance from the Cowboys, but expect an average running game. The New York Giants look to increase their rushing percentage, which can only get better from the 2014 season.

         A great Sunday night, must watch game. This game can make a statement on who takes the NFC East. So save some wings for the night and enjoy a classic National Football League rivalry game.
