The Nemesis

In some games, DeSean Jackson has been the one to watch and Michael Vick is usually a good choice as well, but in the two teams' first meeting, running back LeSean McCoy was lights out, rushing for 184 yards and two scores. McCoy killed the Cowboys with gashing runs around the edge. Look for a heavy dose of him once again.



Favorite Weapon

The big addition for the Eagles' defense was supposed to be in the secondary with Nnamdi Asomugha, but defensive end Jason Babin has been rather dominating this season. Playing opposite of Trent Cole, Babin has surged to the NFL lead in sacks with 18, becoming one of the NFL's elite pass-rushers.



Advantage Eagles

The Eagles lead the NFL in sacks with 46 and they bring pressure in all areas. While the Cowboys' offensive line has been improving lately, it's still relatively young with Tyron Smith and Phil Costa as first-year starters. However, of the 30 sacks allowed this year by Dallas, only eight have occurred at home.
