The Eagles enter Week 12 on top of the NFC East, stacking close wins behind a defense that keeps bailing them out late. The offense, though, still hasn’t found its old spark. Jalen Hurts is protecting the ball but hasn’t pushed the tempo, A.J. Brown hasn’t hit his stride, DeVonta Smith is coming off his quietest game in over a year, and Saquon Barkley’s production has dipped from last season.
Dallas arrives with the momentum Philadelphia has been missing. The Cowboys bring the league’s No. 2 scoring offense, and Dak Prescott is dealing with precision. George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, and Jake Ferguson give him options all over the field, and Dallas is the only team featuring top-five players in passing (Prescott), rushing (Javonte Williams), and receiving (Pickens).
The rivalry has been running hot since 1960, and the Eagles have taken the last three matchups, including a 34–6 win in Dallas last November. The Cowboys’ last victory in the series came in December 2023.
Another chapter hits the field Sunday—with the division race on the line and both teams desperate to make a statement.
