In little over 48 hours, an NFL rivalry that has been around for a long time will likely see another legendary chapter. A lot is at stake when the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles play on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium. First, the victor of this game will temporarily be the front-runner in the NFC East. Secondly, the NFL MVP race can be decided by this game. With his recent performance over the past three months, quarterback Dak Prescott has made a compelling argument for the distinction.
Jalen Hurts is still rated as having the third-best chance to win the award by NFL media and oddsmakers. The outcome on Sunday will have a big impact on how both clubs are seen leading up to a crucial postseason push. To put it plainly, Sunday night is a chance for both teams to send a message. Fans of the Eagles and Cowboys are impatient. This is our final look at the Cowboys’ ailments prior to the pivotal game.
The Cowboys are trying to play with every player available. Rico Dowdle is scheduled to play on Sunday night after being promoted to full participation on Friday. Tight end Peyton Hendershot was activated from injured reserve and is expected to play this week. Matt Waletzko, who is still on injured reserve after training this week, is the lone player excluded.
Following his surgery in mid-week, Mike McCarthy is also anticipated to coach by the Cowboys on Sunday.
