Game Analysis:

This Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) will host the Dallas Cowboys (3-5) in a pivotal NFC East matchup at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles are riding a four-game winning streak, recently defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-24. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been instrumental in this success, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities with six rushing touchdowns over the past three games, a feat matched only by Cam Newton in 2011. Philadelphia’s offense has been particularly effective on the ground, averaging 116 rushing yards per game, largely due to the contributions of running back Saquon Barkley, who has amassed 925 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season.

The Cowboys, conversely, are on a three-game losing streak and will be without starting quarterback Dak Prescott, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush is expected to start in Prescott’s absence. Dallas’ offense has struggled, averaging 20 points per game, and will face an Eagles defense that ranks ninth in points allowed per game. The Cowboys’ defense, allowing 31 points per game, will need to improve to contain Philadelphia’s rushing attack. This game presents a significant opportunity for the Eagles to extend their division lead, while the Cowboys aim to halt their losing skid amidst challenging circumstances.
