Dallas’ pass rush versus the Eagles’ offensive line

We mentioned those age-old football theories that have stood the test of time earlier. Here’s another. The pass rush and coverage work hand-in-hand. If Jalen Hurts’ protection holds up, the Eagles will make some plays through the air

Come on. You know, at some point, Trevon Diggs will allow the opportunity for a big play. If QB1 recognizes it and he has time to diagnose and deliver the football, Philadelphia’s offense can make some big plays. The wild card in all of this is the Dallas pass rush.

We trust Lane Johnson versus DeMarcus Lawrence. We also trust Jack Driscoll if Jordan Mailata can’t go, but trust and believe Micah Parsons and the Cowboys’ pass rush will afford Jack or Jordan the largest headaches they’ve had all season.

Dallas O.C. Kellen Moore versus Eagles D.C. Jonathan Gannon

Well, we couldn’t do all of that talking about coaching and not bring them up. Once this team’s saving grace, the Cowboys’ offense is now its Achilles heel. Philly could win this game with a tremendous defensive effort by Jonathan Gannon’s unit and maybe a turnover or two.

Cooper Rush is a game manager. The Cowboys have only scored seven offensive touchdowns all season.
