5 Cowboys to Watch vs Giants; here’s who needs to step it up on the road

The Dallas Cowboys have some things to sort out in their quest to return to the playoffs. That journey starts Thursday night as they look to even their record at 2-2 at the expense of the New York Giants. In order to return to the win column, the Cowboys are going to have to change some things about the last two weeks worth of performances.

The first change has already been taken care of for them. The Cowboys are getting away from the unfriendly confines of AT&T Stadium, after three straight putrid performances in front of the home crowd dating back to January’s wild-card round loss. The Packers, Saints and Ravens have done whatever they wanted to the city of Dallas. Now separated from their home base, the team will hopefully find renewed focus.

That by itself won’t be enough, though. They will need players to step up; either above how they’ve been performing or because of new responsibilities. Here’s a look at the key players for Thursday Night Football.
