3. The Eagles finally limit ‘Zeke’. Dallas’ star running back doesn’t eclipse 100 yards rushing.

More from Inside the Iggles

Since we entered the Super Bowl era, no one player has averaged more rushing yards per game versus one team than Ezekiel Eliott has averaged versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

In Philly’s last win versus the Cowboy’s back in 2017, ‘Zeke’ was serving a suspension. In the five games that he’s actually been on the field versus Philly, Dallas is 5-0.

That’s the bad news. Here’s something to make you smile. This is the game where Philly will turn things around and hold their old nemesis to less than 100 yards rushing.

4. Philly’s stat sheet looks just like the one from last week.

Zeke’s struggles on the ground won’t be an issue the Philly ball carriers share. Actually, you can expect the stat line in Week 16 to mirror the one we saw in Week 15, minus Wentz’s fumble of course.

Philly’s star quarterback will throw for just under 300 yards. Miles Sanders will shine, scoring once on the ground and once via the passing game. Greg Ward and Zach Ertz will score the other two touchdowns.
