NFL Games of the Week
NFC East Fight
The rivalry between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys has been a staple in the NFL since their first game in 1960, which resulted in a 31–31 tie. The Giants, who were an NFL powerhouse in the 1950s and early 1960s, began to lose their stride, not making the playoffs from 1964–80. The Cowboys, however, picked up steam and took control from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s, winning 17 of the 20 meetings between the two teams in the 1970s. The rivalry became more even-handed in the 1980s, with intermittent spurts of dominance from both sides. The Cowboys had the upper hand in the early 1990s, while the Giants dominated in the late 1980s and the 2000s. However, recent history has swung back in favor of the Cowboys, who have beaten the Giants in eleven out of the last twelve matchups since 2017.
