IF THE DALLAS Cowboys come out ignoring their run game and throwing the ball downfield Sunday night, the Eagles might be in big trouble.
The talk at NovaCare this week has been all about stopping the NFL's No. 1 rushing attack and the No. 1 rusher, Dallas rookie Ezekiel Elliott. Yes, rookie quarterback Dak Prescott's mistake-free play is impressive, and yes, the Cowboys are getting Dez Bryant back this week, and yes, Cole Beasley has been a big problem for the Birds from the slot in the past, but those all seem to be secondary concerns.
"Once you run the ball that well, it's going to open up the passing game," Eagles defensive end Connor Barwin said.
