If you want to use that the Giants-Cowboys games as a rivalry. Then every NFC East game is a rivarly.

Cowboys vs Redskins -- you couldn't draw it up any better.

It was like that in the past, but not now. It just does not get the draw and interest up as does the Giants-Cowboys rivalry. Unless maybe it is just in the 'Skins fan base.

Case in point. The Redskins-Cowboys game on Nov 22nd is in a 1 PM EST time slot, in other words, NOT nationally televised, but regional coverage
only. That is because of the marketing between the teams. And that time slot traditionally does not draw a large west coast audience because of the time zone difference. Game 2 is a prime time game, but Dallas will always play one of thier two games against a division opponent in a national spot.

Dallas plays one game against Philly, Washington and New York in prime time spots. Then regional spots for the second game for Washington and Philly. Only Dallas-New York have 2 national prime time spots for each game they play against each other.

But look at Cowboys-Giants games for this year, game 1 - Sunday Night Football, nationally televised huge market. And the second game against New York is in the 4:15 time slot, another nationally televised game that also brings the west coast audiences in. Also this game is after week 11, which could get "flexed" to a prime time spot.
