Might we see the dog masks? Almost two years ago, the Eagles became the first top-seeded team to open their playoff push as underdogs when they met the Atlanta Falcons. Then, they were underdogs against the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game. Then, they were underdogs again in the Super Bowl.
Along the way, Chris Long and Lane Johnson donned dog masks. The Eagles fans followed suit, and if you caught on late and tried to get one of your own, you quickly realized that your fellow Eagles fans had depleted the entire world’s supply of them.
Here we are, and it’s ‘Cowboys’ Week’. It didn’t happen the way that we thought it would, but the NFC East comes down to a game between the Eagles and the Cowboys. The winner probably takes the division. The Cowboys are favored even though Philly’s at home.

To be honest, that actually makes sense. Dallas looked good in Week 15. The Eagles didn’t, despite the fact that they won. Dallas has won four straight over the ‘Birds’ (three games that the Eagles actually tried to win). If Philadelphia can end the losing streak, it could make for a very nice Christmas present.
