On Christmas Eve, the Dallas Cowboys face off against their worst enemy from the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prior to this loss, the Cowboys’ players could be forgiven for looking at Saturday’s meeting with Philadelphia as a potential division decision, but now they’re three games behind the NFC leaders with only three left to play – and that’s it. by the Eagles themselves, who have yet to play. for as long as they can conclude a goodbye in the first round and a home advantage in the playoffs with one more win.

That doesn’t mean Dallas isn’t motivated. Quarterback Duck Prescott said this week: “If anything, it’s about making a name for yourself.

“If you look at the season, we had some games that we played really well and some games where we bit our feet and there were also games that we didn’t play and lost.

“It’s about doing our best, putting in our best effort and proving to ourselves at all three stages that we’re a hell of a team and we can do that against one of the best teams in the league, whether they’re in our division or not.”

The Eagles were victorious in the first meeting between the two teams in October, winning 26-17 at home in Week 6, which the Cowboys are looking to rectify.

Prescott added: “I think everyone in this dressing room is looking forward to the rematch.

“They have a hell of a season. They’re in control of winning the division right now, so you just want to get in, get another chance and make sure you’re doing your best.”

Ezekiel Elliott, running back, said the same thing. “You lose first, you can’t wait to see them again,” he said of the rematch with the Eagles.
