2024-12-28 194

The Dallas Cowboys (7-8) head to Philadelphia to face the NFC East-leading Eagles (12-3) in a pivotal Week 17 showdown. With playoff implications on the line, Dallas looks to bounce back from a 34-6 loss to the Eagles earlier this season.

Philadelphia has dominated recent meetings, winning three of the last five matchups. However, Dallas has been strong in December, winning seven of the last nine games against the Eagles during the month.

Key storylines include Jalen Hurts’ likely absence due to concussion protocol, forcing the Eagles to turn to backup QB Kenny Pickett. Meanwhile, the Cowboys must overcome the loss of WR CeeDee Lamb, who’s out for the season with a shoulder injury. Backup QB Cooper Rush will lead Dallas’ offense, which faces a tough Eagles defense.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Both teams aim to prove their resilience in this high-stakes divisional clash.
