"For Dallas, it is almost a must-win situation. A loss drops them to 4-6-1, 4.5 games behind the Eagles with six games left. It also puts additional pressure on the Cowboys, who will play three games in 12 days beginning with today's contest. Dallas faces defending champion Kansas City on Thursday. Seven days later, they face the up-and-coming Lions in Detroit. The math is very simple."
"A 3-0 run over the next 12 days and the Cowboys are likely to make the playoffs. Even a 2-1 record gets them back to .500 and very much alive. But 1-2 and they are on life support for the postseason. An 0-3 run, and we're writing the obituary on Dallas' season on Dec. 5 th. The Cowboys cannot look ahead though."
"The Cowboys are 74-59 all-time against Philadelphia. They are 43-25 when hosting the Eagles. Philadelphia's win last November snapped the Cowboys' six-game win streak at AT&T Stadium. The Eagles hold a three-game win streak over Dallas and have won three of the last four meetings. This includes the season-opener back in September, when Prescott and Hurts were in a shootout. Until a rain delay paused everything for nearly an hour. Both teams came out ice cold the rest of the way."
Dallas faces Philadelphia in a critical Week 12 game that could determine postseason viability. A loss drops Dallas to 4-6-1 and 4.5 games behind the Eagles with six games remaining. The Cowboys play three games in 12 days, including matchups with Kansas City and Detroit, so a 3-0 stretch would likely secure playoff contention while 1-2 or worse would severely damage postseason hopes. The teams have a long rivalry, with Dallas leading 74-59 all-time and holding a strong home record, though Philadelphia has recent momentum with a three-game winning streak over Dallas.
