Eagles-Cowboys preview: Five things to watch

For Eagles-Cowboys Week 12 matchup, here are five key factors that will determine the winner:

One thing fans didn't anticipate this season - Dallas' newfound ability to run effectively. In fact, they now rank fifth in league-wide rushing yards per game thanks to the arrival of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders from their previous stints with Denver and Carolina respectively. The Eagles can't underestimate them on Sunday.

Another aspect worth paying attention to is quarterback Dak Prescott's passing prowess. He leads Dallas' offense, averaging 258.7 yards per game. With standout receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Prescott poses a formidable threat to Philly's pass defense.

On the other hand, the Cowboys face stiff competition from Philadelphia as both defenses have been on fire lately, particularly when it comes to shutting down opposing rushing attacks. The Eagles' unit has successfully limited opponents to under 4 yards per carry in their last two games.

A crucial aspect of this game will be how each team's interior line performs. Dallas boasts a solid O-line except for left tackle Tyler Guyton, who can struggle against quicker edge rushers like Josh Uche.

Lastly, both teams have undergone significant roster changes during the week ahead. For Dallas, they've added Quinnen Williams at defensive tackle and DeMarvion Overshown back from injury. Meanwhile, Philadelphia will look to get Jaelan Phillips back on the field after missing Week 10.
 
I'm low-key hyped for this game tho 🤔. One thing that's got me curious is how Philly's gonna handle those running plays with Javonte and Miles. They're actually pretty solid right now, so I think we might see some unexpected yards on the ground. On the other hand, Dak's been on fire, but if their O-line can't hold up against Josh Uche, it could get ugly 🤕. One thing's for sure, though: this one's gonna be a real nail-biter ⚡️. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
 
man I'm low-key hyped for this one 🤩 Eagles vs Cowboys is gonna be a battle of strength vs speed. Philly's D-line has been on point lately and if they can shut down Prescott & Co, it's game over 💥. but the question remains - how will Dallas' O-line hold up against Philly's pass rush? gotta keep an eye on Dak's accuracy too 🤔 and I'm curious to see how Javonte Williams & Miles Sanders do in their first big game together 👀
 
I'm low-key worried about the Eagles' ability to stop Dak Prescott's passing game 🤔... like, they've been on fire lately but these new receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are straight fire 🔥! I think Philly needs to come up with a solid game plan or they might get burned. On the other hand, Dallas' O-line is pretty solid except for that one guy Tyler Guyton 🤦‍♂️... he's like an easy target for Josh Uche, you know? But overall, this game has all the makings of a close one 😬
 
I'm loving this Eagles-Cowboys matchup 🤩! One thing that's got me thinking is how Dallas' new rushing attack can keep Philly's defense guessing. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders are a dynamic duo, but I think their success will depend on how well Dak Prescott can read the defense and make those quick passes to CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens 🤔.

On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about Dallas' interior line, especially with Tyler Guyton struggling against quicker edge rushers like Josh Uche. If Philly's D-line can contain their running backs and put pressure on Prescott, it could be a long day for the Cowboys 😬.

It'll be interesting to see how both teams adapt to the roster changes too - Quinnen Williams at defensive tackle for Dallas sounds like a game-changer, while Jaelan Phillips' return for Philly will add some much-needed depth to their D-line 🔄.
