Get out in front early
I know it’s one of the most cliché things in sports. However, it is also one of the truest. The Cowboys are a much better team when they have the lead and can control the game with their running attack. The Eagles need to jump on them early and make them get out of their game plan. The Eagles chances of winning go up when the ball is in Dak’s hands more than Zeke’s.
Eagles must keep a balanced offense
When the Eagles have rushed the ball 27 times or more, they have won every game. When they haven’t, they have lost every game. The Eagles aren’t the Chiefs or the Rams with their passing attack. They need a more balanced offense to have success. The Eagles having success running the ball is the single most important thing in this game.
Defense/special teams need to step up
You are on the road and playing your number one division rival with first place on the line. Objectively speaking, Dallas is the better team going into this game. When you are playing a better team on the road, your defense or special teams must make a big play to even things out. That could be a Darren Sproles punt return or a big turnover by the defense. If the defense holds Dallas and the Eagles get a big play from special teams, the Eagles will win this football game.
