There isn’t much mystery as to what we’re going to see on Sunday when the Eagles, having clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, take on the Cowboys, who have literally nothing to play for but pride. Eagles coach Doug Pederson has already admitted that their starters will play some in order to avoid a three-week layoff, but that “at the same time be smart with how much they play, how long they play, and go from there.”
So we’re going to get maybe a half of the Eagles regulars, if that, before they empty the bench in hopes of making it through the game unscathed, much as the Cowboys did in the very same position this time last season.
