Cowboys at Eagles
By: Jake Rajala
It’s also a mid-evil-like atmosphere for the Cowboys-Eagles match-ups. The Boys will be heading into the match-up with a highly motivated Dak Prescott, who went 3-5 last season. Meanwhile, the Eagles are out to prove that they aren’t caught in a Super Bowl hangover.
The Eagles need to feed Saquon the ball. After all, he won Offensive Player of The Year last season! He is still 28 years old, so he has a few elite seasons left in him!
They need to test a Boys defense that ranked 29th in rushing YPG allowed last season. Micah Parsons can’t handle the charge by himself. That was why they brought in Dante Fowler Jr. (14 TFLs and even 10.5 sacks last season)
The match-up between A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith vs Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland will be epic. Hurts needs to not throw too many deep throws in my opinion. Bland had 9 ints in 2023. Brown will need some wisdom from his book on getting open against tight coverage!
On the flip-side, the Boys brought in George Pickens. He will help feast against match-ups that are thrown at slowing down Ceedee Lamb. They also brought in running back Javonte Williams. This should hold them back from a reunion with a washed-up Zeke Elliot.
The Eagles offense doesn’t only have an elite WR duo and RB on the cover of Madden. We have to discuss their biggest play, which comes from the QB. This is none other than: the Tush Push! The tush push is alive and well. They have an 86% success rate since 2022. It won’t be easy for the Boys to stop them (regardless of how they set up).
So, what exactly is each team’s record in a head-to-head scenario?
The Eagles are 3-2 against the Boys. Should I believe that Dallas should feel comfortable that they can beat Philly? I don’t think so. Not only did Philly win it all last season, but they clobbered the Boys by a record of 41-6 last season.
