The Thanksgiving afternoon game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys set the mark for the most-watched NFL regular-season game on record.

The Cowboys' 28-20 victory on Fox averaged 42 million viewers, according to Nielsen, surpassing the 41.55 million average for the Dec. 3, 1990, Monday night game between the Giants and San Francisco 49ers on ABC. Average viewer record numbers date to 1988.

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants both have scheduled visits with free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., according to a report.

Beckham will meet with the clubs after Thanksgiving with the teams also set to face off on Thursday.

The wide receiver is in the final stages of recovery from knee surgery after re-tearing his left ACL in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory in February. 

MetLife Stadium is in the process of reviewing proposals to replace the current FieldTurf that has come under fire in recent years.

The stadium is the home of the New York Giants and Jets.

Metlife, which currently is using a version of FieldTurf, is contemplating new synthetic surfaces, not the natural grass that players have publicly called for in recent weeks.

"We evaluate our field each season and historically have replaced our playing surface every 3-4 years. We have made the decision to replace the field in 2023 and are currently reviewing proposals from multiple vendors for a new synthetic surface," MetLife Stadium said in a statement.

Odell Beckham Jr. would like to whittle down his current list of potential teams -- which includes the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers -- as soon as possible and have a decision by the end of this month, league sources told ESPN.

The New York Giants and star running back Saquon Barkley will table any talks about a new contract until after this season, league sources told ESPN.

Barkley and the Giants did not come close to hammering out a new deal during last week's bye, according to sources.

Joe Schoen says the New York Giants are open to extending the contracts of Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones.

The Giants are 6-2 entering their Week 9 bye.

Both Barkley and Jones are in the final years of their rookie contracts, heading toward free agency in 2023.

"We'll have those meetings this week," Schoen said. "We'll talk about it if we want to, we've got to get through the trade deadline today and those conversations, then we'll kind of circle up with some strategy meetings as we move forward on contract extensions and if we may or may not do anybody. If I did, this would be the week. I would want to entertain it during the bye week and then I probably won't do anything after that. I don't want anything to be a distraction to the players or organization. So, if we do something it would be probably before Monday with any of our guys, I'm not saying him, but when we have those conversations."

The New York Giants are at least open to a potential reunion with Odell Beckham, Jr.

Beckham visited the Giants facility last month to see some of his former teammates, but the free agent didn't meet with New York's general manager or coach.

"I had no idea he was in the building until he was out of the building," general manager Joe Schoen said. "Obviously he's been a good player. He's a guy we would consider and talk to, when he's healthy. I think he did the ACL in February, so not sure really where he is physically.

"But yeah, any player that would upgrade the roster we're going to consider and have conversations with their representatives."
