Ranking the 3 most important games remaining for the Cowboys in 2022
2. Cowboys vs. Giants, Week 12 (Thanksgiving)
A divisional matchup against a team in the playoff picture serves as an important game for the Cowboys. Dallas will host the New York Giants on Thanksgiving for their second matchup this season in Week 12.
The Cowboys beat the Giants 23-16 earlier this season in Week 3. Rush threw for 215 yards and one touchdown while running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard combined for 174 yards on the ground with one touchdown. On defense, Dallas contained Daniel Jones through the air but both Jones and running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 75-plus yards in the contest.
This time around, the Cowboys will look to stop the run and face off in another key divisional game against the Giants that could help their playoff seeding. A win on Thanksgiving would give Dallas the season sweep and the tiebreaker in the NFC East standings.
With the Giants currently at 6-2 and 11th in NFL.com’s recent Power Rankings, it will be a big game for America’s Team.
