Looks like the Cowboys will get a break from nemesis Steve Smith. The Giants receiver, who has tormented Orlando Scandrick and the Dallas secondary, is going to miss the game, and possibly more time, with a pectoral injury. And the injury problems discussed earlier with the Giants offensive line sees David Diehl and Shaun O'Hara out.
The Cowboys are looking better with everybody we thought would play, actually playing.
