Philly Leader

The upcoming NFC East game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles has been rescheduled to an earlier time. Originally set for a 4:25 PM kickoff, the match will now begin at 1 PM on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. This change was made by the NFL to accommodate the NFC North matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

The Eagles, currently holding a 12-3 record, aim to secure the NFC East Division title with a victory over their division rivals. They also seek to complete a season sweep against the Cowboys for the first time since 2011. Meanwhile, despite being out of playoff contention, Dallas has embraced its role as a spoiler. The Cowboys have recently won four out of their last five games, including a victory that displaced the Buccaneers from first place in the NFC South.

In their previous encounter on November 10, Philadelphia defeated Dallas with a decisive score of 34-6. During that game, linebacker Zack Baun was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording eight tackles, two forced fumbles, and recovering one fumble. That game marked Dallas's first without quarterback Dak Prescott due to his season-ending hamstring injury.

Cooper Rush will take on quarterback duties for Dallas in this upcoming game. While he holds an impressive career record of 9-2 as a starter against teams other than Philadelphia, he is yet to secure a win against the Eagles with an 0-2 record.
