FRISCO, Texas -- For the first time since Week 8 of last season, the Dallas Cowboys will see Carl Cheffers as the referee when they take on the New York Giants Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

The Cowboys are 3-1 in games with Cheffers as the referee and the games have been largely even in terms of penalties and yards. The Cowboys have been flagged 25 times for 200 yards, while their opponents -- the Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans -- have been penalized 25 times for 189 yards.
