...DAK PRESCOTT FACTS



A win Sunday would make Prescott the second rookie quarterback in team history to defeat the Eagles. The first was Kevin Sweeney on Oct. 11, 1987.



Prescott is second in the NFL with a 68.7 completion percentage.



Prescott, Sam Bradford, and Russell Wilson are the only quarterbacks to play every game through Week 7 and have only thrown one interception.



Prescott is third in the NFL with an 8.7 adjusted yards gained per attempt.



Among quarterbacks who have played every game through Week 7, Prescott leads the NFL with a 73.1 completion percentage on third down.





CARSON WENTZ FACTS



Eagles rookie quarterbacks are 1-3 against the Cowboys. The lone winner was Jack Concannon in 1964 with a 24-14 win. Concannon went 10/20 for 134 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.



Wentz is the second Eagles rookie quarterback to start on NBC Sunday Night Football. The first was Nick Foles on Dec. 2, 2012 at Dallas in a 38-33 loss.



The only top-10 passing categories Wentz appears in are: fewest interceptions with three and longest pass with a 73-yard pass that is so far eighth-longest in the NFL.



Wentz is only the fifth first-round quarterback the Eagles have ever taken in club history.



Wentz’s four wins as a starting quarterback are the most for a Philadelphia rookie quarterback. Second place is a tie between Sonny Jurgensen and Mike Boryla with three apiece.



Through his first six starts, Wentz has faced the 31st (Cleveland), 20th (Chicago), 30th (Pittsburgh), 26th (Detroit), 21st (Washington), and first (Minnesota) passing defenses.


Among quarterbacks who have started at least four games, Wentz has the 14th-best third-down passer rating at 88.5.



Among quarterbacks who have started at least four games, Wentz has the 21st-best third-down pass completion rate at 56.3 percent.



Wentz has the 27th-most first downs off third-down conversions with 17.



Wentz has a 72.1 passer rating in the fourth quarter, good for 27th-best in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least four starts this season...
