Sunday afternoon’s game at Lincoln Financial Field not only carries weight in the NFC East, but in the conference standings. It will serve as the final word...
Sunday afternoon’s game will serve as the final word as to which team is the best until the rematch in five weeks.
Example one: Philadelphia receiver A.J. Brown was clearly frustrated with his minimal role in the offense early in the season and displayed that on the sideline in the fourth quarter of a win over Minnesota.He’s caught 19 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games. Dallas had 54 sacks last season to finish tied for third in the league. The Cowboys are a bit behind that pace this season, but their pressure applied has still been strong. The unit’s 117 quarterback pressures ranks sixth in the NFL, according toConsistent pressure also leads to forcing turnovers, another Dallas strength. And Philadelphia? As good as Hurts has been, he’s thrown eight interceptions and lost three fumbles.
Philadelphia does respond in the second half to take care of business. But there’s a difference in overcoming a six- to 10-point deficit as opposed to 14 points, 17 points or more.Before that? Dallas lost to San Francisco by 32 and Arizona by 12. They were outscored 70-26 in those two games.Prescott loves the atmosphere. Compares it to games he played in the SEC in college, where you feel the intensity and animosity the closer you get to the stadium.
