The Cowboys and Eagles meet in Week 7. So that means NFC East rivals playing on a Sunday afternoon. Could you ask for anything better? Both teams have had their chances to take control of the division. However, they have not been able to win consistently, despite having all the right pieces and players to at least possess 5-1 records.
The Eagles have lost to teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers. Ironically, the Cowboys have lost to those same teams. The Eagles have victories against the New York Giants, Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A win on Sunday, could give the Eagles first place in the East, preparing them to take on the weak New York Giants in Week 8.
Can the Eagles' running game guide them to victory? They are averaging 178.5 yards per game, first in the league. However, their defense is spoiling things as they are giving up the most total yards (pass and running combined). While the Eagles are fourth in the league, averaging 27.7 points per game, their defense is giving up the third worst total, 29.8 points per game.
While the Eagles' offense is tiring out their opponents' defenses, they are also making their defense work. It has been overbearing and the defense simply cannot stop the oppositions' offensive attacks.
Are the Eagles ready to take over first place in the NFC East? Chip Kelly has a decision to make. They can keep Nick Foles on the field as the second-year quarterback had a great game in a big victory last week against the Redskins. The Eagles are versatile on offense and they catch a break as the Cowboys' linebacker, DeMarcus Ware will be inactive for Sunday's big game.
