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.
