PHILADELPHIA EAGLES II FACTS
How important is a season finale win after the playoffs are clinched?
Lost finale, lost opening playoff game: 6/10
Won finale, won opening playoff game: 13/20
This is the second time in club history the Cowboys are 13-2. That other team from 2007 similarly achieved home-field advantage but were defeated in the divisional round of the playoffs by the New York Giants.
Since 1990, when playoff formats were last reformatted, teams there have been 27 teams to start 13-2. Here are the final fates for those teams:
Divisional playoff loss – 8/27
Conference championship loss – 6/27
Super Bowl loss – 7/27
Super Bowl win – 6/27
This is the fourth time in Eagles history the club has started 6-9.
The last time the Eagles and Cowboys faced each other in a season finale “with nothing to play for” was Jan. 2, 2011. Dallas was 5-9 and Philadelphia was 10-5 with the NFC East wrapped up. Philadelphia played their backups, lost 14-13, and then lost in the playoffs to Green Bay 21-16.
This is the fifth time the Cowboys have won the division while the Eagles have finished in last place.
The Cowboys are currently 6-1 on the road. A win would give them a 7-1 finish, a tie for the second-best away record in franchise history.
A win would give the Eagles a 6-2 home record, tied for their third-best home record in club history.
The Dallas Cowboys are 28-26 against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road...
DAK PRESCOTT FACTS
Prescott will be the first Cowboys rookie quarterback to start in Philadelphia since Troy Aikman. Naturally, a win will make him the first such Dallas quarterback to do so.
In the history of Lincoln Financial Field, rookie quarterbacks are 4-6.
Prescott is currently tied with Andrew Luck for the second-most passing touchdowns for a rookie with 23. He needs three more to tie Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson.
Prescott’s 105.6 passer rating, if it holds, will stand as the best rookie quarterback passer rating in NFL history.
Currently, Prescott’s 105.6 passer rating is the third-highest in the NFL. Only Matt Ryan and Tom Brady have better ratings.
In terms of Cowboys history, Prescott’s 105.6 passer rating would be second to Tony Romo’s 113.2 passer rating in 2014 as the second best single-season passer rating in team history.
Even if Prescott should throw two interceptions Sunday, he would still finish with the lowest number of interceptions among quarterbacks who started every game since Week 1.
Of Prescott’s four interceptions, three of them have been tossed on third down, which is tied for the 16th-most in the NFL.
Prescott’s 8.7 adjusted yards per attempt is the third-highest in the NFL.
Prescott and Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor are tied with the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with six.
Prescott’s 83-yard touchdown pass to Ezekiel Elliott in Pittsburgh remains the sixth-longest pass in 2016.
Prescott’s 96.1 passer rating is the seventh-best among starting quarterbacks in 2016.
Prescott’s 7.9 yards per attempt on third down is the eighth-highest in the league.
EZEKIEL ELLIOTT FACTS
Elliott’s 1,631 rushing yards are the fifth-most in Cowboys single-season history.
Elliott’s 1,631 rushing yards are the second-most in league single-season history behind Eric Dickerson’s 1,808 yards.
Elliott’s 16 total touchdowns are tied for the fourth-most in Cowboys single-season history.
Elliott’s 16 total touchdowns are tied for the seventh-most by a rookie in league single-season history.
If Elliott were to not carry the ball at all Sunday, Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell would need 364 yards to overtake Elliott for the league rushing title.
Elliott’s impending rushing title will help the Cowboys tie the Bears for the second-most rushing titles by franchise with six. The Browns lead the NFL with 11.
Elliott has the fourth-highest yards per carry in the NFL at 5.07.
Elliott’s 5.07 yards per carry is the 14th-best in NFL single-season history.
Elliott has as many first downs rushing with 11 as Robert Griffin III has passing.
Elliott is 9/12 on getting first downs on third-and-1, which is tied with Cam Newton for the third-best in the NFL.
Elliott’s 75.0 percent first down percentage on third-and-1 would be the sixth-best in the NFL if Elliott were his own team...
