DALLAS – Jerry Jones said he watched most of the revved-up Eagles’ 33-27 upset of the defending NFC East champion Commanders on Monday night.

“They could be a real formidable team for us this year,” Jones said of the Eagles.
The frenetic offense unleashed in Chip Kelly’s debut as Philadelphia’s coach certainly made an impression on Jones.
“They do move,” Jones told KRLD-FM during his weekly radio show. “They do get up to the line.”

The Cowboys used some no-huddle during their 36-31 win over the Giants.

You can control the tempo and maybe standardize them a little bit. And, also if you have some big guys up front, maybe you get a conditioning advantage as well.
“There are a lot of different reasons to do it, but the most important thing when you’re doing it, whether you’re playing fast or slow, is to play well and execute ball plays and move the football.”
