Key Player Matchups
QB Dak Prescott (DAL) vs. Eagles Secondary
Prescott returns healthy after missing much of 2024. With CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks outside, he’ll test an Eagles secondary that was top‑10 in INTs last year.
RB Saquon Barkley (PHI) vs. Cowboys Front Seven
Barkley, the reigning rushing champ, gashed Dallas in 2024. Containing him is priority #1 for DC Mike Zimmer’s defense.
WR A.J. Brown & DeVonta Smith (PHI) vs. Cowboys CBs
With DaRon Bland extended and Trevon Diggs healthy, Dallas has the corners to match up — but Brown’s physicality and Smith’s route running remain matchup nightmares.
Cowboys O‑Line vs. Eagles Pass Rush
Philly’s front, led by Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat, will test Dallas’ young offensive line. Keeping Prescott upright is critical.
Recent Form (2024 end):
Dallas: Lost 3 of last 4, including 41–7 to PHI in Week 17.
Philadelphia: Won 6 straight to close season, capped by 40–22 Super Bowl win over Kansas City.
