How to watch, stream NFL Thursday Night Football Week 4 games live online free without cable: NBC, Amazon
After the AFC East had its time in the spotlight last week, the NFC East takes center stage this Thursday, with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New York Giants in the Meadowlands.
Neither team has had a rollicking start to the 2024-2025 season. Both stand at 1-2 and are tied for last place in the division, but a win could catapult them to second place by the end of the weekend. It could be an uphill battle for the Giants, though, which hasn’t beaten Dallas since the season finale in 2020.
The Cowboys, though, are coming off of back-to-back blowout losses to the Saints and Ravens. That could be the beginning of a longer slump or it could light a fire under the team that makes them a threat as the season moves forward.
Here’s how to watch this week’s game and what you can expect from Thursday night games tonight (and in the weeks to come).
