Jeremy Shockey said there is "no chance in hell" that his New York Giants will lose to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

The Giants' controversial tight end made his comments last week to ESPN — and Dallas coach Bill Parcells is using the remarks to give his players more incentive, telling them of Shockey's trash talk after the Cowboys' 38-10 victory over Tampa Bay on Thanksgiving Day, the New York Daily News reported.

"We are not worried about anyone else," Shockey told ESPN after the Giants' 26-10 loss to the Jaguars. "No one's beat us. We only beat ourselves. And that is what we feel like in this locker room. No one is capable of hanging around when we play our game. People seen that when we played the Cowboys the first time. There is no way they have a chance in hell to beat us when we play our football. And that is the truth. No other team in this league."

After practice on Tuesday, Parcells said, "Look it, these kids nowadays, you can't tell what they are going to say. I heard about it second- and third-hand so I don't even know really what it is yet exactly. Actually, what would talk have to do with the outcome of this game? You don't know and neither does anyone else."

The Cowboys lead the Giants by one game in the NFC East heading into Sunday's game, but Dallas has won three straight games behind second-year quarterback Tony Romo, installed as the starter after Drew Bledsoe struggled.

The Giants are going in the opposite direction, losing three straight games, including Sunday's meltdown against the Tennessee Titans, who erased a 21-0 deficit with three touchdown drives led by rookie quarterback Vince Young.
