EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Dallas Cowboys have everything in front of them, and one little nagging thing behind them: the New York Giants.The winners of 11 straight games, the Cowboys (11-1) can clinch the NFC East and move a step closer to nailing down home-field advantage for the conference playoffs if they can beat the Giants (8-4) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night.While the Cowboys insist this is just another game, you know there has to be some churning inside them in facing their division rivals.After all, the Giants are the reason Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and company arent perfect.New York posted a 20-19 win in Dallas in the season opener, and one has to believe Jason Garretts crew wants payback. And if not that, the Cowboys certainly dont want to go into the playoffs wondering if they can beat the Giants.Im looking forward to it a lot personally, and then I know this team, Prescott said. Theyre the only blemish on our record right now, and just to be able to go up there at their place and be able to do what they did to us the first game, were excited for the opportunity.The Giants know the Cowboys will be motivated.Theyre on a roll right now and Im sure they dont want to lose, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said. Were the only team that has beaten them. Im sure that thats on their mind, too. They feel that they could be 12-0. Theyre going to try and come out and prove that they should be undefeated. Its going to be a big challenge.The challenge got bigger for the Giants on Wednesday when defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was lost for at least the rest of the regular season after having surgery to repair a sports hernia.Not only did the team lose one of its playmakers on defense, it came in a week when the Giants are facing new questions after a poor performance in Pittsburgh ended their six-game winning streak. They still hold the top spot in the wild-card playoff chase, but their schedule is tough with Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington in the final three weeks.We believe we are a really good team, even though we havent played our best ball yet, Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. If we can put the game together this week, I think it will be a statement game, but we have to do it. We have to be able to win, and thats easier said than done.Here are some things to watch in the nationally televised game:REPLACING JPP: Free-agent rookie Romeo Okwara probably will start at left defensive end, with Kerry Wynn and Owa Odighizuwa backing him up. Dont be surprised if the Giants occasionally flip Olivier Vernon to the left side just to give the Cowboys something to think about. Linebacker Devon Kennard might see time as a stand-up speed rusher. Wynn is the best run stopper of the group, so he may need to get more time if the Giants want to limit Elliott, who leads the league in rushing.RESPECT FROM ODB: Beckham knows a thing or two about starring right away after winning the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. So hes highly complimentary of Prescott and Elliott. Absolutely, on the Giants or not on the Giants, you have to respect that, Beckham said.Beckham, a former LSU star, remembers facing Mississippi States Prescott when they were in the SEC, and he offered Elliott advice on life in the NFL before the season. I love to see Zeke out there celebrating, Beckham said. I love to see Dak out there with a smile. You just want to minimize that this Sunday.GIANTS OFFENSE: The offense has been inconsistent. It has yet to score 30 points. The running game is among the worst in the league and Beckham has been the only playmaker for Eli Manning. Against the Steelers, Victor Cruz was not targeted once. The week before, Sterling Shepard wasnt targeted against Cleveland.We need to score more points and be more productive. Just have to overall execute better, Beckham said.LEADING 88?: Dez Bryants next receiving touchdown will push him past Michael Irvin for second on Dallas career list. Both have 65. Irvin is the Hall of Famer 88, who followed the Original 88 in Drew Pearson, who had 48 touchdowns. The franchise leader is another Hall of Famer, Bob Hayes, with 71.He gets that confidence going and I have all the confidence in him, Prescott said. He feels no one can guard him and I feel the same way.STOPPING ELLIOTT: The Giants held Elliott to a season-low 51 yards on 20 carries in his first game. The key is in the middle with tackles Damon Harrison and Johnathan Hankins. From the very first time we played against him, we all said that that guy is going to be a player in this league, and that seems to be true up until this point, Harrison said.---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Frisco, Texas contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max 270 Outlet Italia .

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Dont count Wisconsin out of the Big Ten West race just yet.Corey Clement ran for 134 yards and a touchdown and the 10th-ranked Badgers used a stout defense to beat Iowa 17-9 on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid.Alex Hornibrook had 197 yards passing for the Badgers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who won for the fourth straight time in Iowa City.Back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Michigan put Wisconsin in a hole in its own division. But the Badgers survived a late Iowa surge -- and next week they get division favorite Nebraska at home.They persevered. They kept playing, and they did it together, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said.Backup Bart Houston threw a touchdown pass for Wisconsin, and Clements 1-yard TD run put the Badgers up 14-6 midway through the third quarter.But Wisconsin was carried by its defense. The Badgers allowed just 236 yards on 60 plays and held the Hawkeyes (5-3, 3-2) without a touchdown for the first time all season -- just a week after they scored 49 points against Purdue.C.J. Beathard had 153 yards passing for Iowa, which lost its third straight at home.There were some plays that we left out there. That certainly didnt help our cause, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.THE TAKEAWAYWisconsin: Chryst wasnt just giving lip service to Wisconsins perseverance. The Badgers overcame two missed field goals and a fumble that Iowa recovered in its own end zone, and their defense stopped Iowa 11 times on 13 third downs.Iowa: The Hawkeyes offense, which has been inconsistent at times this season, bottomed out. Beathard hardly had any open receivers -- and when he did, he missed them more than once. Iowas hopes for a run at the West title now seem dim, with Penn State, Michigan and Nebraska still on its schedule.POLL IMPLICATIONSWisconsin became the first team in 25 years to earn a top-10 ranking after losing back-to-back games. The Badgers likely wont movve up much unless some teams ahead of them suffer upsets.ddddddddddddPIVOTAL MOMENTDown 14-6 midway through the fourth quarter, Iowa finally found some life in the passing game. But the Hawkeyes drive stalled out at the Wisconsin 20, and Ferentz elected for a field goal to get within five. Freshman Keith Duncan pushed his kick wide right, though, and Clement broke a tackle in the backfield on 3rd-and-1 for a 34-yard gain with less than four minutes left. I thought we did a pretty good job of keeping him under control. Then he popped that one at the end, Ferentz said of Clement, who had 35 carries.THE ALMOST PIVOTAL MOMENTIowa appeared to pull to 17-12 with less than a minute left on a touchdown catch by freshman Noah Fant -- which was set up by a brilliant kick return from Desmond King. But the officials said the ball hit the turf during the process of the catch. The Hawkeyes elected to kick a field goal down 11 with 43 seconds left, but their subsequent on-side kick went out of bounds.HOUSTONS MOMENTHouston, the senior who had ceded the starting job to Hornibrook, was 4 of 6 passing for 59 yards and led the Badgers to their first touchdown. Houstons package included some read option plays, giving the Badgers a different look. For us to be the best team we can be, were going to need everyone, Chryst said. Bart gives us some stuff.UP NEXTWisconsin: The Badgers brutal stretch in the Big Ten continues next week when they host the Cornhuskers, who entered Saturday ranked eighth in the country. Wisconsin then travels to resurgent Northwestern before its schedule eases considerably in November.Iowa: The Hawkeyes get their bye next week. They open November with a night game on the road against the Nittany Lions.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
