Eagles / Cowboys Preview



Last Sunday's loss to the Giants was a devastating blow to Philadelphia's playoff hopes. Nevertheless, this season in the NFC, 8-8 could be good enough to get in, and if the Eagles are going to get to that mark, they need to win their last three. That starts Sunday afternoon in Dallas.

The Cowboys are flying high, and are primed to claim homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. They also hung a difficult defeat on the Eagles in South Philadelphia earlier this season. The Eagles need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, but they would also undoubtedly relish bringing Dallas back down to earth on their home turf.

Last Time They Met: November 4, 2007
Cowboys 38, Eagles 17

Terrell Owens had an enormous game in his return to Lincoln Financial Field, catching 10 passes for 174 yards and the touchdown that broke the Eagles' back early in the second half.
