After 10 days off to heal nicks and bruises, and mentally focus on the coming stretch, it’s finally game day for the Dallas Cowboys. Winners of four straight, the Cowboys are now in the meaty part of their 2023 schedule. When first announced, the gauntlet was meant to have two equally challenging parts. Facing both New York teams, including the Giants twice, was supposed to mean three playoff teams on top of the San Francisco 49ers and the first matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Major regression to the mean happened for Brian Daboll’s troops and a Week 1 injury to Aaron Rodgers turned those contests into laughers. The other five tough contests have arrived, with the Cowboys taking out the Seattle Seahawks in a tasty Week 13 appetizer. That was the tune up; Sunday night’s rematch against the Eagles is the one of the main courses to be followed by road trips to Buffalo and Miami before returning home for the upstart Detroit Lions.
And while all of the games matter in the grand scheme of things, they lose some steam if the Cowboys aren’t able to even the series and the season-long records with the Eagles. From the perspective of winning the division and chasing a bye, this is a must-win game for the Cowboys. But they’ll have to wait through a days worth of action where those games could have an impact on Dallas’ pursuit as well.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to cheer during those games, how to wager on the Cowboys-Eagles matchup and how to catch the action if you’re away from your TV screens.
