Their recent victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars showcased their strong offensive performance, led by Hurts and Barkley.

Dallas Cowboys Analysis

The Dallas Cowboys have had a disappointing start to the 2024 season, currently sitting with a 0-3 record at home and struggling in both offense and defense. Despite ranking 15th in total yards, they are 20th in points scored and have been struggling defensively, allowing the second most points in the NFL. Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown eight interceptions and their one-dimensional offense has been exposed. They recently suffered a road loss to the Atlanta Falcons, unable to slow down Kirk Cousins. The Cowboys currently have a power ranking of 23 and rank 22nd in offense and 31st in defense.

Cowboys vs. Eagles Rivalry Renews as Dallas Struggles at Home

Regardless of the performances of both teams, the matchup between the Cowboys and Eagles is always highly anticipated and accentuates the competitive nature of both franchises. In their last 10 meetings, the Cowboys have held a 6-4 advantage over the Eagles, with the teams splitting victories in their two matchups last year. This season, the Cowboys have struggled at home with a 0-3 record, and they face a formidable Philadelphia team that excels in various defensive categories. Following difficulties in moving the ball against Atlanta, Dallas is likely to encounter similar challenges against the Eagles, who are poised to compound the Cowboys' season woes with a victory.
