Week 14 features a pivotal matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.
At 9-3, the Cowboys would have a chance to tie the Eagles in the standings who are currently 10-2 and threatening to take home the No. 1 overall seed again.
A win would tie Dallas with Philadelphia in the standings, though they’re going to have to bring their best to beat their NFC East rival.
Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have to be the ones to lead the charge for the Cowboys offense, while the defense needs to do its job limiting Jalen Hurts and his receiver corps.
Philadelphia should be considered the favorites considering they’ve already beaten Dallas this season, though the latter is playing at a much higher level compared to their first meeting.
Chris Broussard noted that Dallas has little margin of error if they want to pull out a win via First Things First.
“The Cowboys have to have an A-game to win against the Eagles. … But if they win an ugly game, any win is an A-game,” Broussard said.

Broussard acknowledges that the Eagles will be more motivated than usual to get a win considering they’re coming off a disappointing Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Philadelphia has been the consensus pick to make it out of the NFC, and they’ll likely try to show their pride and flex on Dallas who has every right to feel like they belong in the Super Bowl conversation.
The Cowboys and Eagles have a genuine dislike for each other and it should be exciting to see them go at it.
