The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a bye in week 11 and hoping to grasp hold of the lead atop the NFC East going forward. Contrarily the Giants are hoping to save face in the division while also praying that Eli Manning doesn’t throw five interceptions again. As these two divisional rivals face off in week 12, which five players are going to be integral in determining the outcome?

Though he looked good the last time he was on the field, Romo’s back is still not 100 percent healthy. Coming into an important game against a long-time rival, how Romo looks in this contest is going to be a huge factor in what the final result ends up being.

Rodgers-Cromartie wasn’t at full-health the first time that the Giants and Cowboys met. He’s still not 100 percent, but he’s much closer than he was before. How he’s able to handle Dez Bryant in this game could very well make or break New York.

In his first taste of action since missing a month with injuries, Jennings was less-than-effective last week. Against a Cowboys defense that has been vulnerable to rushing attacks, though, this could be a return to prominence for the Giants running back.

Last week was an abysmal experience for Eli and the Giants as they had a chance to when and the quarterback threw pick after pick to make sure that didn’t happen. This seems like a game where he could rebound, but seeing whether or not that’s actually going to be the case is worth your attention.

The Giants are one of the worst—if not the definite worst—rushing defense in the league. The Cowboys have a monster offensive line and a running back who could realistically end up with a 2,000-yard season this year. If you want to watch a back run wild, keep an eye on Murray this week.
