Why Philadelphia Eagles Will Win

The Eagle offense has found a spark in Jalen Hurts.

He hasn’t been perfect, and Philadelphia lost to Arizona last week, but the last two weeks the O came up with over 400 yards of total yards after only getting there once all season.

Hurts runs things quicker, the running game has started to work more, and Dallas can’t stop any of it. The injured Cowboys are last in the NFL in run defense and now the offense isn’t doing enough to help the cause.

Why Dallas Cowboys Will Win

The defense might be awful, but the takeaways are there.

As bad as Dallas has been, it’s been able to force mistakes over the last two weeks – both wins – coming up with seven turnovers to do enough to generate points for an O that’s not getting to 300 yards. There was only one other time the Cowboys were able to come up with more than two turnovers – the four they got against Philadelphia in a 23-9 loss back in early November.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

RB Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas

Is this the week he finally comes up with some semblance of production again? He missed last week with a calf injury and is questionable this week, but he’s expected to git it a try. But will it matter? He hasn’t rushed for a touchdown since coming up with two against the Giants way back to mid-October.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Carolina beat Washington? If that happens, the winner of this is still alive for the NFC East title, with it getting really, really interesting if the Eagles win and the Football Team lose – the two play in Week 17.

Philadelphia is having all sorts of defensive issues – it fell off the map in the secondary over the last month – but the offense isn’t turning the ball over. It has only given it up three times in the last four games, and Dallas needs to come up with at least two takeaways to get the win.

This will be a surprisingly entertaining game, with Hurts coming through late.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- — From the gruesome ankle injury that ended their star quarterback's season to the sudden death of their conditioning coach, the Dallas Cowboys faced difficulties few NFL teams could match in this pandemic-altered year.

They still have a chance going into Week 17.

Andy Dalton threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns, two to Michael Gallup, and the Cowboys stayed alive in the playoff race with a 37-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The Cowboys (6-9) won their third consecutive game and can finish alone in first place in the NFC East thanks to Washington's 20-13 loss to Carolina, which guaranteed the NFL's worst division won't have a team with a winning record.

Dallas can overtake Washington (6-9) with a win at the New York Giants and a Washington loss to the Eagles on the final weekend of the regular season. The Giants (5-10) can get in by beating the Cowboys if Washington loses.

“If you gave up five, six weeks ago, we wouldn’t even want you on our side,” said running back Ezekiel Elliott, who returned after missing a game because of injury for the first time in his career and finished with 105 yards.

“We’re competitors. The whole team is. We weren’t out of it. Gotta win next week and need a little help from the guys we just played.”

The Eagles (4-10-1) led 14-3 in the first quarter after DeSean Jackson's 81-yard touchdown catch in his first game in two months coming off an ankle injury, and they would have controlled their playoff fate against Washington with a win.

Instead, Philadelphia and Jalen Hurts couldn't keep the offense rolling while giving up points on five consecutive Dallas possessions. The defending NFC East champion was eliminated from the postseason with its sixth loss in seven games.

“It’s disappointing,” defensive back Jalen Mills said. “Even from the start of the offseason, we feel and we know that we are a playoff team. It is what it is.”

The top three Dallas receivers each had a catch of at least 50 yards. Rookie CeeDee Lamb's 52-yard touchdown put the Cowboys up 27-17 early in the third quarter, Gallup's 55-yarder on a screen set up a field goal between his two TDs, and Amari Cooper had a 69-yard catch before another of Greg Zuerlein's three field goals.

Dalton, who was 22 of 30 while surpassing 300 yards for the first time since replacing the injured Dak Prescott five weeks into the season, gave the Eagles life late in the third quarter by forcing a deep throw to Lamb that Darius Slay intercepted.

But that opportunity fizzled when coach Doug Pederson elected to go for it on fourth-and-15 from the Dallas 33 early in the fourth quarter and Zach Ertz was stopped well short on an underneath throw.

Hurts had two turnovers with Philadelphia in scoring range later in the fourth quarter. Anthony Brown intercepted the rookie at the goal line, and Hurts fumbled at the end of a run on a close call that was held up on review. Hurts had a second interception with the game well out of reach in the final minute.

“It’s not always the team with the best record in the regular season ... it’s the hottest team,” said Dalton, who is 4-4 as Prescott's replacement. “You’ve just got to get a chance. Once you make it to the playoffs, that’s when you have your opportunity to make a run.”

A month ago, the Cowboys were blown out by Washington on Thanksgiving two days after conditioning coach Markus Paul collapsed in the team's weight room. Paul died the day before the game.

Prescott's injury is the biggest for an offense that has endured plenty, particularly on the offensive line. Now, coach Mike McCarthy still has something on the line not long after his Dallas debut looked like a lost and wrecked season.

“Coach just told us that in the locker room, he was like, ‘You guys have strained for this, you’ve worked for this through all the ups and downs that we’ve had this season,’” said Gallup, whose touchdowns were from 21 and 7 yards. “Just to have it happen like it's happening, just a great feeling.”

Making his third start since the benching of Carson Wentz, Hurts led an offense that generated 285 yards in the first half before stalling while the Cowboys surged to the lead.

Hurts was 21 of 39 for 342 yards with 69 yards rushing, joining Lamar Jackson as the only QBs in the past 70 years with at least 50 yards rushing in each of his first three starts.

EFFECTIVE TRIO

Cooper and Gallup had 121 yards receiving apiece, and Lamb helped finish off the Eagles by drawing a 34-yard pass interference penalty on third down to set up his 19-yard scoring run in the final two minutes.

PANDEMIC ATTENDANCE LEADER

The Cowboys led the NFL in attendance by far in the pandemic-altered regular season, finishing with an average of 27,378. That's about 34% capacity at 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium, and the average is almost twice as much as any other team that allowed fans.
