Week 9: Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys (Sunday Night Football on NBC)
Following an off week in week 8, the Eagles will have plenty of time to prepare for what will likely be a crucial match-up against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in November. This will likely be one of the biggest draws of any prime-time game during the 2015 regular season. It’ll be running back DeMarco Murray‘s first game back in Dallas, second against his former team in 2015, where he’ll likely try and send a message to the franchise that let him walk away.
Murray will be out for revenge but so will the Cowboys. They’ll want to prove to the Eagles that they don’t need him to be successful and likely force feed their star wide receiver Dez Bryant. But hopefully he won’t have three touchdowns in a single game this time, cornerback Byron Maxwell did a great job against Bryant in 2014 while he was on the Seattle Seahawks. Hopefully he can continue his strong play against Bryant as a member of the Eagles.
