Ladies and gentlemen the Beast of the East looks like it’s back and better than ever this season with the Dallas Cowboys picking up another win along with the Eagles and Giants on Sunday.
Now, Dallas gerts to square off against the NFC East-leader and last undefeated team in the NFL in the Philadelphia Eagles. After taking on and beating the defending Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams, the Cowboys should feel good heading into this game against a banged-up Eagles team on both sides of the football.
Can America’s Team, who could have starting quarterback Dak Prescott back in the lineup, continue their success with Cooper Rush taking over during his absence? Or, will the Cowboys decide to hold Prescott out another week and let Rush try to keep his hot streak going?
Put some respect on the NFC East 🔥

Only time will tell on that front, but in the meantime, we can take a look at this Eagles team and see what the Cowboy can look forward to.
It’s time to learn about the enemy in this week’s edition of “Know Thy Enemy”.

I’ve seen a lot of people dismissing the #Eagles issues against the blitz because of OL injuries. It certainly didn’t help, but the lack of hot routes schematically and the inability of RBs to pass protect are far bigger concerns that don’t go away when Mailata is back.
