The Dallas Cowboys lost a heartbreaker in overtime last week and now they’re tasked with getting back to their winning ways by taking on a division rival. To forget about the painful loss, a Christmas Eve matchup with the NFC East leading Philadelphia Eagles awaits to help shift the focus. Although the game has lost some of its luster with the Cowboys essentially giving away any chance at winning the division by blowing two double-digit leads on the road in their last six contests, it’s still a big game.
There’s no love lost between the two teams, or fan bases, as they prepare to get after each other for three hours just before one of the most celebrated holidays of the year. The Cowboys don’t want to lose back-to-back games this late in the season, allowing doubt to creep in, just like they did last season.
To avoid another loss, the Cowboys will have to be tougher than they were last week and play solid football for all 60 minutes. Here’s what else to know about the Eagles before Week 16 kicks off.
