"The Dallas Cowboys lost a close one in the 2025 season opener to the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week 1, but this isn't the same team as it was back then. The Cowboys have improved on both sides of the ball, especially the defense here recently with all of the new additions. That could prove to be the difference maker this week, but only if they don't allow certain matchups to get the better of them."
"Not having to face the Eagles All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson in Week 12 is good news for the Cowboys. He has been one of the best RTs, if not the best, since entering the league. He recently suffered a Lisfranc injury that will take him out of action. With him not in the lineup, Philadelphia swing tackle Fred Johnson will step into the starting role."
"The Cowboys couldn't seem to find a solution for how to stop him from doing damage with his legs. He ended up rushing for 62 yards on just 14 attempts and scored two touchdowns. If Dallas wants a chance to upset the Eagles in this Week 12 matchup, they can't allow that to happen again. That's where DeMarvion Overshown comes in. Matt Eberflus would be wise to use him as a spy on Hurts to try to keep him contained inside the pocket,"
The Cowboys entered Week 12 as a markedly improved team, with notable defensive upgrades that could swing the game versus the Eagles. The Eagles will be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson due to a Lisfranc injury, prompting swing tackle Fred Johnson to start and creating a likely drop in production that pass rushers should exploit. Jalen Hurts produced significant rushing damage in the season opener, so containing his mobility is critical. Deploying DeMarvion Overshown as a spy could force Hurts to beat the Cowboys from the pocket. Quinnen Williams delivered an excellent debut with the Cowboys last week.
