Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott will be forever linked thanks to the 2016 NFL Draft and the fact they are bitter NFC East rivals.
Wentz’s team has had the upper hand as of late, winning the 2017 Super Bowl, making the playoffs three straight seasons and snatching the NFC East crown away from the Cowboys late last season.
They’ll have the opportunity to do it again this year and in a season in which several top-notched quarterback matchups will take place, the Cowboys vs. Eagles Week 16 showdown will be the scene of some must-see television according to NFL.com.
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, Week 16: This NFC East showdown features two of the best young quarterbacks in football surrounded by improved supporting casts. Carson Wentz has a faster set of playmakers at his disposal, with DeSean Jackson, Marquise Goodwin, Jalen Reagor, and John Hightower operating like a 4×100-meter relay team on the perimeter. Prescott gets to drive an Indy race car fueled by the most explosive “11” personnel unit in football. With defensive coordinators unable to load the box to stop Ezekiel Elliott or utilize bracket coverages to slow down Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, or CeeDee Lamb, No. 4 could emerge as an MVP candidate by taking what the defense gives him from the pocket.
Just as it was last season, the Week 16 showdown will likely be for NFC East supremacy and it could possibly have MVP implications for both players.
