The Philadelphia Eagles are 8-1 through the first nine games of the 2017 NFL season. They return from their Week 10 bye to play the biggest game of their season thus far. That’s right, it’s Dallas Cowboys week.
It’s crazy to think the Eagles can essentially wrap up the NFC East before Thanksgiving even arrives, but that’s pretty much the case here. An Eagles win pushes Philly to 9-1 and drops the Cowboys to 5-5.
It’s no surprise to see the Eagles enter this game as heavy favorites. They have a number of factors working in their favor. Nearly everyone on Philadelphia’s 53-man roster is healthy for this week’s game.
Starting cornerback Ronald Darby is set to play for the first time since Week 1. Eagles leading receiver Zach Ertz is back to face a Cowboys defense that ranks 28th at defending tight ends. Alshon Jeffery is questionable to play, but it seems like there’s optimism he’ll suit up for Sunday Night Football.
The Cowboys’ injury situation, meanwhile, is anything but optimistic. Dallas has already ruled out starting linebacker Sean Lee and kicker Dan Bailey. Reports indicate starting left tackle Tyron Smith is also out. Dallas allowed eight sacks as Smith sat out against the Falcons last Sunday.
Offensive line issues are problematic for any team. They’re especially concerning for a Cowboys team that has to go up against an Eagles defense that ranks first in the NFL in generating pressure. Sunday could be a long night for Dak Prescott.
Last year when the Eagles went to Dallas, they played like the better team for the most part. The problem is they let the Cowboys a steal a win in overtime. It’s time for the Birds to right that wrong and come out with a win.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the game.
