Tag: New York Giants schedule

The NFL announced the full 16-game slate for the final week of the regular season Sunday night, including the Dallas Cowboys’ season finale against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The game will kick off at noon CST on Sunday, Jan. 4.

Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, meaning that Sunday’s game will only matter toward draft pick positioning. The Cowboys could pick as high as No. 11 in the first round with a loss or as low as No. 18 with a win, depending on other results around the league.

While a final determination hasn’t been indicated by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys could elect to sit starters such as quarterback Dak Prescott in the finale. After the Cowboys’ Christmas Day win over the Washington Commanders, Prescott said he is under the impression that he will finish off his Pro Bowl season with a 17th start.

“In my mind and the conversations I’ve had with [Schottenheimer] and anybody about it, it would be that I’m playing,” Prescott said.

Weather could play a factor in the finale as well, as the forecast on Sunday predicts freezing temperatures and potential snow in New Jersey.
