ARLINGTON, Texas – If the Dallas Cowboys want to have any chance of repeating as NFC East champions then they must beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
The last time the division had a repeat winner was in 2003-04 when Andy Reid was coaching in Philadelphia. Like last year with the Cowboys, the Eagles, owners of the NFL’s best record, are poised to go from worst in the NFC East to first.
The Cowboys already have lost more games in nine games than they did all of last season, but they want to show they are much better than the team that was pummeled by the Atlanta Falcons, 27-7, in Ezekiel Elliott’s first game out because of a suspension.
