Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys (7-3), tied for the top spot in the NFC East (Philadelphia Eagles), visit division rivals Eli Manning and the New York Giants (3-7) at MetLife Stadium this Sunday, Nov. 23, on Sunday Night Football. Sunday night's pre-game coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA at 7 p.m. ET.

Romo played in Week 10 following a Week 9 back injury, passing for 246 yards and connecting with WRDez Bryant for two touchdown passes in a 31-17 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray leads the league in rushing yards (1,233), and is the only player in NFL history with at least 100 rushing yards in nine of his team's first 10 games. Giants' rookie WR Odell Beckham Jr. has 21 catches for 357 yards in his past three games, second-most in the NFL by any player.

Sunday's game marks the ninth consecutive season these teams have met in primetime, tying an NFL record (Bears-Packers, 2006-14, Chargers-Raiders, 1981-89). The Cowboys have won the last three games against the Giants, including a 31-21 victory earlier this season in Week 7.

Calling Cowboys-Giants is seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 29th season as THE VOICE of the NFL's premier primetime package; 15-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his five seasons in the SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL booth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is led by Emmy Award-winning producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff. SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series for a record six consecutive years.

Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports, is hosted by 26-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday. Costas will be joined on site by Collinsworth, Tafoya, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Hines Ward, and NBC Sports commentator Josh Elliott.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC Sports Group's Studio 1 and will be joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and Peter King of Sports Illustrated. Alex Flanagan will report from CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Wash., on the Cardinals-Seahawks game.
