EAGLES AT COWBOYS : Two longtime rivals play for the first time as the Eagles head to Jerry World to play the Cowboys. The Eagles have regained their identity, which is run the ball down team’s throats. They’ve won four straight games and their ability to run the ball has been a big part of it. Jalen Hurts’ running ability in particular, he’s rushed for 159 yards during the winning streak. Hurts along with Saquon Barkley in the backfield, along with AJ Brown and Devonta Smith on the outside is exactly what Eagles’ fans thought it was going to be when Barkley signed. One issue for Philly is Nick Siriani’s in game decisions, even in last week’s win over the Jags, Siriani kept the Jags in the game with his fascination of going for two point conversions, or going for it on fourth down. On the other side we have the Dallas Cowboys, who have are in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Cowboys have lost three in a row, and now they will be without Dak Prescott, who is out with a hamstring injury. The Cowboys should have linebacker Micah Parsons back this week. The key to this game can Dallas win on the line of scrimmage? Their defense gives up 148 rushing yards a game and Philly is the second best team running the football at 175 yards per game. On the other side Philly gives up 101 yards on the ground, but Dallas is 31st in the league averaging 82 yards per game on the ground, they’re going to have to help Cooper Rush otherwise it will be a long day.
STEELERS AT COMMANDERS : Two first place teams will battle as the Steelers travel to DC to play the Commanders. The Steelers are coming off the bye, but before that they beat both New York teams in prime time. Even though I disagreed with the decision, Russell Wilson has been really good since being named the starter. Washington is coming off a win against the Giants as well. Jayden Daniels has been better than advertised for the Commanders. The Commanders do have two major injuries coming into this, Running Back Brian Robinson will miss his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury and newly acquired Cornerback Marshon Lattimore will also miss the game with a hamstring. Will the Commanders’ offensive line be able to stop TJ Watt and company?
LIONS AT TEXANS : Two of the best teams in Football square off on Sunday Night. The Lions are coming off a huge win at Lambeau Field last week. Jared Goff has been sensational this season, and the Lions have the best running back duo in the league with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. The Texans are facing a little adversity, most of that is due to injury, and might be getting back receiver Nico Collins. Two great teams, two great, young coaches, we can be in for an old fashioned Texas shootout.
DOLPHINS AT RAMS : The Rams are rolling and healthy. Getting Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back has totally rejuvenated this team, and if they get into the playoffs nobody is going to want to play them. Matthew Stafford has found his game and this young defense has been solid. The Dolphins are 0-2 since Tua Tagovailoa returned, losing two games via the walk off field goal. The Dolphins offense has looked fantastic since Tua returned, one of the biggest beneficiaries has been De’von Achane, who has looked solid running the ball and catching the ball out of the backfield. It’ll be a return for Dolphins’ corner Jalen Ramsey and receiver Odell Beckham Jr., both of whom helped the Rams win the Super Bowl a few seasons ago.
