NFC – Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Preview

Eagles, Cowboys meet for the third time this season. Based on their recent postseason histories, the Philadelphia Eagles appear to have a convincing edge over the Dallas Cowboys but base on last weekend’s matchup for the NFC East title, however, it’s the Cowboys who have all the advantages over the Eagles.

The division rivals will meet at Cowboys Stadium for the second time in seven days as Dallas seeks to end its 13-year drought without a playoff victory Saturday night by defeating Philadelphia for the third time this season.

The Eagles are forced to return to Dallas this week after the Cowboys (11-5) clinched the NFC East crown with a 24-0 victory Sunday. Philadelphia (11-5) would have earned a first-round bye with a win, but instead is seeded sixth for the second straight season.

Dallas – which dominated the 1990s with three Super Bowl titles – is in position to win a playoff game for the first time since 1996. Philadelphia, meanwhile, has been in the postseason seven times in that span and has advanced past its first game every time under Reid, reaching five NFC title games including last year’s run.

This will be the third playoff game for Tony Romo, who threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns in last weekend’s victory. Romo is trying to reverse a poor playoff history in which he has a 53.8 completion percentage and a total of 390 yards passing.

Dallas swept the series this season with 20-16 Week 9 on the road Nov. 8 and 24-0 in the season finale at home on Sunday.

Game Recap

These aren’t the same old disappointing Dallas Cowboys. If anything, they’re starting to play like some of the really old versions.

Tony Romo broke open a scoreless game with five straight scoring drives in the second quarter, sending Dallas past Philadelphia 34-14 Saturday night for the Cowboys’ first playoff victory since 1996.

Dallas had lost six straight postseason games and would’ve set an NFL record with another one. But now all those skids are history, buried along with the notions that Wade Phillips (0-4 as a head coach) and Tony Romo (0-2) couldn’t win a playoff game.

And the way the Cowboys have played over the last four games—all wins, behind dominating defense and efficient offense—they could be sticking around a while this postseason.

Next up for Dallas is a trip to Minnesota on Sunday, with Romo taking on childhood hero Brett Favre.

The Eagles are one-and-done in the playoffs for the first time under coach Andy Reid. Philadelphia had been 7-0 in playoff openers with Reid and 6-0 with Donovan McNabb at quarterback. (Source)
