Didn't know they as many injuries, but that's part of the game, especially this time of the season.

Cowboys vs. Eagles: Previewing the Eagles defense

The banged up unit is nowhere near as good as they have been.

The 2017 Philadelphia Eagles seemed to have it all: a quarterback in MVP form, a whole host of deadly running backs, a great offensive line, and a defense that looked impenetrable. A year later, and pretty much all of that has changed, but none more so than the defense.

After acquiring Haloti Ngata and Daryl Worley in free agency and drafting Avonte Maddox and Josh Sweat in the draft, it seemed as if this stacked defense was getting even better, and that defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz’s only challenge would be finding reps for everyone. But Worley had to be released a month later after being arrested for an altercation with police. Sweathas struggled to get on the field, and Ngata has had trouble staying on the field, while Maddoxhas had his share of injuries as well
 
PHI has been hit hard on the injuries, to where, all their left with is a good DL. Once Zeke gets to 2nd level he should dominate.
The DL has always been their strength, and their best players will be on the field Sunday. I don't want to hear anything about injuries. We're never allowed to use that excuse.
 
Don't want to see injuries as an excuse, after the fact if the Cowboys win tomorrow. Since Iggles fans are predicting and guaranteeing that their team will win.

To be honest, I don't care.......you don't win 5 straight games in the NFL w/o being pretty damn good. We'll just move to next team.......

Sweeping Philly and all but locking up the division will make me really enjoy the win for a good two or three days, before moving onto the Colts game!

Oddly enough, the starters on the Cowboys defensive line have a couple more sacks than the starters on the Eagles defensive line. It’s a testament to how well the Cowboys defense has played this year.
