Wentz, Prescott lead Eagles, Cowboys into NFC East showdown

I have been burned a few times by doubting Dallas, but I’ll play with fire again and go with the Eagles as 4½-point underdogs. I think there’s an interception or two that I’ve dropped that I’d like to have. I was playing well up to that last drive, until I got hurt.

Now what happens if both guys go out and play like rookies? I thought we were good friends. “Every down is important; every practice is important; every walkthrough is important”. The better the player, the better the focus. Those defenses will take away the easy stuff and make Dak beat them with downfield throws. The Bengals aren’t almost as good as a year ago.

Cox made his first Pro Bowl last season and signed a massive six-year contract worth more than $102 million this summer.

Still, at some point a quarterback has to make a play to win.

The simple explanation is that the Eagles just don’t have big play receivers. If you’re a proponent of a system in which the top six teams in each conference make the playoffs, regardless of division, that probably doesn’t sit well with you. He’s been sacked four times total in their four victories and eight times combined in the two losses. Heck, he hasn’t even recorded a tackle. “But at the same time you don’t press about it. It’s just fun. Just can’t wait to get out there and have fun”.

“If they lose a game or two, then they switch back to Dak”. Green Bay had four players ranked as well, while the Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers each had three players represented.

“It’s exciting”, Wentz said of the showdown with Prescott. The Eagles have No. 5 defense, Cowboys are 17th. “So I guess that’s why I had a couple of big games there”. When an National Football League team wins 10 games in a season it makes the playoffs 94 percent of the time and when the Cowboys win five of their first seven games they reach 10 wins and the playoffs 15 out of 16 times since 1978.

But I look at Dallas’ results from Weeks 1-7 and see that it doesn’t matter. Otherwise, Arizona seems pretty set – unless it decides to go get a PK to replace Chandler Catanzaro.

“I know how much this means to the city, how much it means to these fans”, Wentz said.

Quarterback Tony Romo did not practice Friday after throwing for three consecutive days.

Meanwhile, as reported by Inquisitr, if Dak Prescott still maintains his performance as Dallas Cowboys quarterback and will gain more wins for the team as they head to the second half of the season.

“He had a good day [Thursday]”, Garrett said. Without him, there is no way the Cowboys would be where they are right now.

However, the team should also consider Tony Romo’s health condition and his age. I don’t foresee anyone on the Eagles defense being able to contain him and that’s why I think he is an X Factor.

The Cowboys ruled out Romo for Sunday.

“I really don’t see that happening”, Green-Beckham said.

Sunday’s action kicks off in London, where after a foray to the rugby bastion of Twickenham the National Football League returns to Wembley with a clash between the Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals.

Romo did not take any 11-on-11 snaps but was involved in some scout-team action as he continues his return from a compression fracture in his back suffered on August 25. That was followed the following year by Ryan ordering Randall Cunningham to throw a bomb toward the end zone after pretending to take a knee. But this is also another showcase for Philadelphia’s stifling defense, even with the Cowboys getting Dez Bryant back.
