Cowboys, Eagles Meet at 2-4 in Monday Night Division Clash

Dallas visits Lincoln Financial Field for a Week 7 NFC East game with both teams holding 2-4 records.

By Jacob Leary ·

The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both sit at 2-4 and meet Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field with a chance to keep pace in the NFC East. The New York Giants lead the division. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN, and Dallas travels as a 4.5-point favorite.

Philadelphia will be without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver DeVonta Smith, both out with injuries. Tanner McKee takes over at quarterback. Running back Saquon Barkley is listed as questionable with a hamstring issue. Head coach Nick Sirianni's run scheme figures to set the pace for the Eagles offense.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott has averaged more than 273 passing yards per game, with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as his top receivers. The Cowboys have posted back-to-back games with limited offensive production. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer can turn to running back Javonte Williams to balance the attack.

Philadelphia's defense faces a Dallas rushing attack, while the Eagles have allowed 1,467 passing yards this season, a figure Prescott can test downfield. Both teams have been flagged for penalties and turnovers during their recent losses. The line of scrimmage and ball security will shape the outcome of this division matchup.

The winner moves to 3-4 and stays within reach of the Giants in the standings.
