Tonight primetime on NBC at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas the Dallas Cowboys are going into tonight’s game with a lot to overcome. Ezekiel Elliot will be serving his 6-game suspension, Sean Lee has a troublesome hamstring, Tyron Smith has been dealing a aching back, hip issue, and a groin, Jeff Heath out with a concussion, and kicker Dan Bailey is out with a groin injury.
Philly is hot right now having a leading the NFC an with 8-1 record with an 8 game winning streak. Carson Wentz has been playing MVP caliber football the whole season throwing 23 touchdown passes, 5 interceptions, and a rating of 104.1. Although Philly going into this game favored it still should be competitive. Dallas is still stacked with talent it’s just a matter of how of their performance. Dallas’s secondary is their achilles hill most of their cornerbacks stand under 6 feet tall it’s just that alone be hard to matchup with bigger receivers like Alshon Jeffrey and Nelson Algholor. Dallas’s front seven will have to show up and stop the run without Sean Lee, giving up an average of over 100 rushing without him. Dallas’s strength is in the pass rush the team having a total of 28 sacks DeMarcus Lawrence leading the team with 11.5 sacks a career high so far.
Blocking for the offensive line has been a struggle the team giving up 8 sacks last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Chaz Green who gave 6 sacks has been pulled out of the starting at left tackle and has been replaced with Byron Bell. Dallas would hate to have the same struggles as last week.
