The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys meet in an NFC East rivalry game between two teams at the top of the division. The Eagles bring a league-best 7-1 record into the home showdown against the 5-2 Cowboys.
FILE Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown making a one-handed catch to score a touchdown against Washington Commanders cornerback Benjamin St-Juste during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Landover, Md. Brown was voted one of the top five wide receivers at the midpoint of the season by The Associated Press.
“He’s always been a very hard worker. But I think you just saw his level of comfort grow in the system, as opposed to 2022,” Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson said. “He really worked on his game in the offseason. For as good of a player as he is, he made it a point to become even better, not only off the field, but how he trains, how he takes care of his body, things of that nature. He’s been awesome. He looks awesome.
“His contested catches jump off the chart,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said. “He has an excellent catch radius, obviously has a great understanding and connection with the quarterback. If I was going to highlight one thing about him, I’d say it’s his ability to make the contested catch.” After owner Jerry Jones refused to provide any bulletin-board material, saying he didn’t want to “poke the bear,” Prescott went in full Winnie-the-Pooh mode.“You love to see that confidence in your leader, your quarterback,” he said. “Dak’s confidence is through the roof, he’s been playing at a really high level. I think he deserves more credit than what people are giving.”The Eagles would have to go into an epic collapse to cough up the NFC East lead should they beat the Cowboys.
