Eagles’ keys to victory: Philadelphia has been giving up yardage in chunks, including a 90-yard touchdown run by Washington’s Adrian Peterson in Week 13. The Cowboys have been able to win despite QB Dak Prescott getting hammered, so DT Fletcher Cox and the defensive line must focus on limiting Elliott. The Eagles’ secondary has been ravaged with injuries, so finding a way to limit Dallas’ emerging passing game will be key. Wentz will need to exploit Dallas’ inability to stop tight ends by going to Zach Ertz often.
Cowboys’ keys to victory: The Cowboys have been getting great effort from DEs DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory, and expect David Irving as the penetrating defensive tackle. That pass rush will look to rush Eagles QB Carson Wentz into bad decisions so an improving secondary can create turnovers. Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith will welcome back Sean Lee to form the league’s best linebacker group. On offense, Dallas will need another stellar effort from Ezekiel Elliott, who had 187 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in the seven-point victory a month ago. The Eagles struggle against No. 2 receivers, so Michael Gallup could have a second consecutive big game.
Matchup to watch: Eagles WR Golden Tate vs. Cowboys CB Anthony Brown. Tate was brought over to invigorate the Philadelphia passing game, but Brown has been red hot in slot coverage recently.
Who wins? The Cowboys are on a roll and they’ll continue. Their winning streak will hit five games.
