NFC East
New York Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is the closest thing the team has to a leader. As they continue to go through changes and transition, he knows he has to keep his emotions in check.
This week, the Giants made the decision to bench (and subsequently release) starting quarterback Daniel Jones and insert local favorite Tommy DeVito into the role.
That was a tough pill to swallow for Lawrence, who has become close with Jones since the Giants selected the pair in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft.
“Definitely hard, but I’ve been a part of...

Keep an eye on these players!
Here are the top NFL Draft prospects to keep an eye on this weekend! All listed kickoff times are Eastern.
Ohio State still has a clear path to the College Football Playoff but they need to hand Indiana their first loss of the season to get there. The Hoosiers have a lot of firepower on offense and slowing down that unit will be key for Ohio State to win the day. Jack Sawyer has been a force on the Buckeyes defensive...

Taking one last look at the Commanders’ side of things.
This matchup feels like Dallas vs. former Dallas coaches and players.
Matchups between the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys don’t normally need any extra juice. Aside from the obvious divisional ramifications that come with each game, the two teams have an intertwined history that spans decades.
There will be a few more threads connecting the Commanders and Cowboys this year when they square off at Northwest Stadium on Nov. 24. Head coach Dan Quinn,...

Madden believes the Dallas Cowboys will find a way to win this week.
It has been a rough two months for the Dallas Cowboys to say the least. Consider that the game they played against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the one that took forever to happen as a result of the weather delay, was the last time that they tasted victory.
That wasn’t quite two months ago, but it was basically such which means we have been wandering in the wilderness of frustration for far too long. The next opportunity for Dallas to make their fans happy, assuming you do want...

It is going to be interesting to see the least to see what Dan Quinn has in store for the Cowboys.
The last time the Cowboys had a losing record midway through November, it was Mike McCarthy’s first year on the job. He had lost Dak Prescott for the year and the offense had predictably struggled in his absence, but more concerning was how bad the defense had been under new coordinator Mike Nolan.
Now, the Cowboys find themselves in almost the exact same situation. Prescott is out for the year, and the offense has looked abysmal without him. But...

Injury updates
The Washington Commanders enter their Week 12 game against the Dallas Cowboys with the benefit of a 10-day break between games following their appearance on Thursday Night Football versus the Eagles last week. The Cowboys, meanwhile, are on a short week, having played and lost to the Houston Texans on Monday night. The two teams that opened and closed Week 11 will play at Northwest Stadium in Landover on Sunday at 1pm.
Washington has only one player out — CB Marshon Lattimore, who was suffering from a hamstring injury when he was acquired from the Saints at the...

After hearing the news that his former New York Giants teammate, Daniel Jones, was released by the team on Friday, Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley commented publicly on the move.
“I’m not going to speak too much on that. I’ve been in contact with him. Our friendship has stayed close throughout the whole process of me being here,” Barkley said.
“It sucks to see how everything went down out there. But I have nothing but great things to say about him. I think you’re not gonna really find anybody that can really say any negative things about him,...

The Cowboys injury report for Friday.
After the Cleveland Browns won in a snowy outing during Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys have only four teams ahead them with fewer wins and currently hold the ninth pick in this year’s draft. There’s no reason to believe the Cowboys are intentionally tanking, more like they don’t have the bodies to compete and the results of what they lack is showing in the loss column. Ahead of their game against their former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his upstart Washington Commanders, Dallas will be without some key players...

Week 12 game status updates.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report on Friday in advance of their Week 12 road game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Eagles ruled one player OUT: DeVonta Smith.
Smith did not practice this week due to the hamstring injury he’s been dealing with. Missing him obviously isn’t ideal because he’s a really good player. Then again, the Eagles were able to beat the Rams last year without him being a major factor (five targets, one catch, six yards). Smith’s absence leaves the Eagles with the following healthy receivers on...
