During the Dak Prescott era of Dallas Cowboys football, the Philadelphia Eagles have been the primary rival. The Eagles are the best team in the NFC, not just from the standpoint of them winning the NFC last season, but they have the NFL’s current best record at 7-1.
In Week 5, the Cowboys failed the test in San Francisco, losing 42-10 to the 49ers team that has eliminated them from the playoffs the last two seasons. Since then the 49ers have lost three straight, the Eagles have lost a game, and Dallas has beaten both Los Angeles teams. In a game of this magnitude, the Cowboys have to stop certain things Philadelphia is great at and also improve things they haven’t been successfully doing yet. Here is a look at some of those areas the Cowboys must win at to leave Lincoln Financial Field with a victory.
