Sunday Night Football in Week 12 of the NFL 2014 season will see the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants go head to head in a big NFC East match up.

The Cowboys are fighting it out with the Philadelphia Eagles for division dominance, but the Giants will be hoping to cause an upset at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey tonight.

The game is scheduled to start at 8.30 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on the NBC network. However, the game will also be available online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

The Cowboys come into this game on 7-3, which puts them tied for the top spot in the NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams have stumbled in recent weeks, and that has left things wide open with just weeks left of the regular season.

The Cowboys will know they cannot afford any slip ups here tonight if they are to maintain maximum pressure on the Eagles.

The Giants have had another tough season this year, and come into Week 12 on 3-7 and basically no hopes of making the postseason. They will undoubtedly be playing for pride today though and will be desperate to put a dent in rivals, the Cowboys' postseason hopes.

The Cowboys finally managed to end their poor run of form last week with a 31-17 win over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. In the weeks prior to that they were defeated 17-28 by the Arizona Cardinals, and 17-20 to the Washington Redskins.

They simply must win today against the Giants to set up what may end up being a winner takes all match up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.
