I started my similarly titled post about the Saints by stating that it was discouraging to look at stats and try and find a way Dallas could win that game. That is not the case with this opponent.
The Eagles defense is allowing 5 yards per carry. They are fifth-worst in allowing runs of 20 yards or more. Football Outsiders has them ranked 20th in second level yards and DEAD LAST in open field.
Obviously, this is a big Zeke game. But it should be clear that Philadelphia is going to be very fired up about stacking the box and stopping Zeke at all costs.
I think Dallas prepared for that in the first meeting quite well and their choice to pass to Zeke seven times was a wise one. I hope they do that again.
