How ’bout them … Eagles? The last undefeated team in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles look to stay hot against the division rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
QB: Dak Prescott is questionable for Sunday night. This means the Cowboys have spent the week preparing Cooper Rush to start for the fifth week in a row. The first four of these starts have been Dallas victories, and including one start last season, Rush has yet to lose a game as a starter in the NFL. Rush is a good QB and cannot be taken lightly.
RB: Ezekiel Elliott is the big name for the Dallas Cowboys, but Tony Pollard is also making a name for himself. In the Week 5, 22-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, Pollard scampered for a 57-yard touchdown to put the game away. With Ezekiel having 305 yards on 81 carries and Pollard with 248 yards on 44 carries, the Cowboys have a dual-threat running attack. It was sorely needed early in the season as the team adjusted to life with Amari Cooper in Cleveland and Michael Gallup still recovering from a torn ACL suffered late last season.
WR: CeeDee Lamb did not practice on Friday and is questionable for Sunday night with a hip injury. He has 28 receptions and 341 yards in five games in 2022. While he has great chemistry with Dak Prescott, his numbers have not dropped with Cooper Rush behind center. One of the top receivers in the NFL in 2022, his talent can overcome the change at the QB position.

Defensive Line: With Randy Gregory now in Denver, the key to the Dallas defensive line largely resides on the shoulders of DeMarcus Lawrence at defensive end. The two-time Pro Bowl defensive end can still make plays against opposing tackles to get to the quarterback.
Linebackers: The discussion with the Dallas Cowboys starts and finishes with one name – Micah Parsons. From the time he stepped on the field as a rookie in 2021, Parsons showed why he was drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft from Penn State. Whether being used as a linebacker or edge rusher, he was unstoppable as a rookie with 13 sacks. The Eagles’ ability to find and…
