The Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers face off in one of the biggest clashes in Week 10 of the NFL 2016 regular season on Sunday. This should be an explosive encounter and could go either way, although with the game taking place at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, the Steelers will feel they have the edge for this one.
The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network, or online through live stream via the link below.
The Cowboys are pulling away in the NFC East division, and come into today's game having lost just one game all season long so far. Their 7-1 gives them a comfortable advantage over the second placed New York Giants, who are on 5-3, as well as the Washington Redskins who are third on 4-3-1.
However, the Cowboys will want to continue their excellent form all the way through to the postseason, and if they can, gain one of the top seeding spots to gain a bye through to the second round.
They come up today against a Pittsburgh Steelers side who are undoubtedly talented, but who have too often allowed inconsistency to undermine their good work this season.
The Steelers are on 4-4, which only brings them to second spot in the AFC North. But with the division topping Baltimore Ravens only on 5-4, the Steelers will know a win today would bring them right back alongside Baltimore in the race for the division title and a postseason berth.
Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football the Baltimore Ravens claimed an easy win over the terrible Cleveland Browns.
That 28-7 result in favor of the Ravens condemned the Browns to their tenth loss of the season, and left them still waiting to taste victory this season.
The Browns will be disappointed somewhat as they managed to go in at half time 7-6 up and surely would have been hoping to keep things tight and try and snatch a close win on the road in Maryland.
However, those dreams were quickly wiped out once the second half started as the Ravens scored 15 unanswered points in the third quarter following by seven more in the final quarter to win 28-7 and move to a 5-4 record.
Even though we could pick apart that game and find all sorts of things wrong with the Ravens performance, they will at least be happy about their defensive work on Thursday night.
Yes, they were only playing the Cleveland Browns - the worst team in the entire NFL this season - but still what they achieved was impressive, and held the Browns to just 144 total yards at just 3 yards per play.
The Ravens secured four sacks through the game, and took away the ball three times.
However, Baltimore will be hoping that quarterback Joe Flacco can improve as the season continues, and his inconsistency is being reflected in all the Ravens' offensive work.
Flacco was better in the second half than the first, and Baltimore will know he must continue to build on that second half showing in the coming weeks if they are to stand a chance at making any significant impact on the postseason.
