FRISCO, Texas – Let’s simplify this matter of playing the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night at AT&T Stadium.
First, we know those Eagles are an NFL-best 8-1.
We know they are second in the league with a 31.4 scoring average.
We know quarterback Carson Wentz is balling out, leading the Eagles’ fourth-ranked offense while putting up the NFL’s third best QB rating of 104.1 on the strength of a league-high 23 touchdown passes and just five interceptions.
Ask Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett about the second-year quarterback, and he gushes with platitudes.
We also know Cowboys Pro Bowl linebacker
Sean Lee, their sole Pro Bowler on the defense, is not going to get back from a strained hamstring suffered late in the first quarter of last Sunday’s 27-7 loss to Atlanta in time for Sunday’s game.
We know only too well that the Cowboys are 5-1 with him this season and 0-3 without, and now they must play one of the two best offenses the Cowboys will ever face this season.
