One thing to know: Romo didn't look great in his first game since Week 2, but the Cowboys ended their losing streak. Here is what Rob Ryan says about Romo: "Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. I think if he knows what you're in, you're dead. So you've got to lie to Tony Romo, you've got to disguise your coverages and you do got to hit him."

One thing to know: Pete Carroll on players signing a big contract (like Wilson): "I think when guys sign their contracts, and it’s their time, it’s recognized by the players around them as well. That they just got paid. And how they handle that and how they deal with it. The players are going to watch them, and they see them. Not that they’re trying to find out something wrong, but the dynamics shift ... So there’s a responsibility on both ends of that. For the player who just got paid to understand, OK, you’ve done something that a lot of other guys wish they could do too. And then for the players that haven’t had their opportunity to respect the guy and his good opportunity and good fortune that came his way. So there’s a lot to that. And you don’t always know how that’s going to work out"

One thing to know: The Giants need at least three more wins, and probably four, to get into the playoffs, and the schedule is not doing them any favors. They still have games against the Panthers, Vikings, Jets, and Redskins. Even their games against the Dolphins and Eagles are no cake walks.
