Biggest matchups In Eagles VS Cowboys Game
One of the biggest rivalries will be on full display on Sunday night as the 5-0 Eagles take on the 4-1 Cowboys. This game is going to be one of the best games across the league so far this season. The Eagles high powered offense will take on the Cowboys solid defense, and it will be the biggest test Hurts and Co. will face so far. Lets take a look at some of the biggest matchups we will see in the big game.
The most important matchups of the day will be the Eagles offensive line against the Cowboys defensive line. Last week a few of the Eagles lineman were banged up, and it was obvious we were missing our starters. Without Mailata and Dickerson, the left side of the line gave up 9 pressures against the Cardinals. They are both expected to play Sunday night, but the offensive line will have to play better this week with Parsons and the rest of Dallas’s relentless pass rush going against them.
The next big matchup is going to be the Birds receivers against the Cowboys secondary. Their secondary is headlined by Trevon Diggs who is massively overrated on both a fan and national level. Although he is nowhere near as good as people make him out to be, there is no denying that he has an interception streak going against the Eagles. Diggs is constantly getting beat buy opposing receivers, and it is clear he is unable to keep up with any type of speed. Last year he had to face a rookie DeVonta smith, and the rest of the Eagles receiving core that was nowhere near as good as the current group. I think that AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith will be way too much for Diggs to handle, and that they are going to have their way with him all game.
The rivalry will live on, and this could be one of the best Eagles VS. Cowboys games we have seen in a couple years.
