4 bold predictions for the Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles
2. T.Y Hilton Opens Up Cowboys Passing Game
If we are looking for a wild card in this game, then look no further than Hilton, who I believe will make his Cowboys debut this weekend. CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown have been great this season, and when Michael Gallup is targeted, he’s able to make plays as well (but mostly in the red zone).
The one thing this Cowboys offense is missing, though, is another receiver that can stretch the field and open things up for Lamb, Brown, and these Cowboys tight ends in the middle of the field.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said WR T.Y. Hilton “very clearly” has a strong understanding already of offense. Focus now more about “getting on the same page with the quarterbacks.” Hilton could make team debut Saturday vs. Eagles.

Hilton will be able to bring that threat, with a history of making big plays in football games down the field. The Eagles are going to have to honor his speed, and won’t be able to put as much focus on Lamb in order to slow down the Cowboys’ passing game. Look for a big game from Hilton. It may not be eye-popping, but his presence alone will benefit the rest of this receiving group.
