Eight is enough for Eli

The Cowboys sacked Eli Manning eight times the last time these teams met.
Eight.
Do you think the New York Giants offenisive line will remember that number heading into Sunday's game?
"I think they will,'' Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "I think motivation wise, they have a big motivation. They weren't sacked that many times all year.
"They're not a team that normally gets sacked a lot because they have a good offensive line, a good quarterback and usually get rid of the football. It was kind of an anomaly for them last year, but we played well.''
One reason the Cowboys were so successful in getting to Manning that game was because they held the Giants to a season-low 72 yards on the ground. But the Cowboys ability to put pressure on Manning isn't a one-game aberration. He's been sacked 17 times in the last three games against Dallas.
