Dallas vs Philadelphia Eagles
This matchup is almost never early in the season and 2020 will likely be no different. These teams have only met before Halloween weekend three times since 2008 and only once have they faced off in September. Just like the Giants, the Eagles have appeared on the Cowboys’ primetime list of opponents every season since 2006, with all but one pre-planned (2013 was flexed).
The NFC East rules the primetime world.
As we approach the schedule release tomorrow, keep in mind Rule #1:
NFC East über alles.

The two teams have flip-flopped division championships every season but one since 2013, with Dallas taking the title in every even-year campaign; 2014, 2016 and 2018 with the Eagles taking 2013, 2017 and 2019. At least one of the two matchups in the storied rivalry will end up in primetime.
