Key Players
Prescott's arm talent and ability to operate in a spread formation make him one of the NFC's most productive passers. He's at his best when the Cowboys can establish early success and build rhythm.
Jones' mobility and competitive drive give New York a quarterback capable of manufacturing plays outside of structure.
Lamb is one of the best receivers in football. His combination of route running, yards after catch, and contested-catch ability makes him nearly impossible to match up against with a single cornerback.
Slayton's speed and ability to create vertical opportunities make him the Giants' most dangerous downfield threat.
