The Cowboys head to Philadelphia this weekend with a chance to gain ground on the NFC East-leading Eagles.
Dallas has seemingly found its footing in the two games following a blowout loss to the 49ers.
Here are 10 interesting numbers and notes to be aware of as the Cowboys prepare for their first match-up of the season against the Eagles:
1. Despite the fact that this is Dak Prescott’s 8th year in the league, and the 4th season for Jalen Hurts, this will mark the first time the two quarterbacks have actually played against each other. Injuries and depth chart order have prevented the two from squaring off previously.
2. The Cowboys were the only team in the NFL last season to throw for over 300 net passing yards against the Eagles. Dak Prescott torched Philadelphia on Christmas Eve last season, throwing for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 40-34 victory.
3. While the Cowboys have split the season series with the Eagles several times, and they’ve even swept the Eagles on occasion, Dallas hasn’t lost both games against Philadelphia since the 2011 season.
4. The Cowboys have scored 40 points or more against the Eagles the last three times Dak Prescott has played against them.
5. Jalen Hurts has been bit by the turnover bug this season. Through 8 games, Hurts has turned the ball over 11 times. The Cowboys rank 4th in the NFL in takeaways this season.
6. CeeDee Lamb’s 3 touchdowns against the Eagles are tied for the most he has against any team. One other statistical oddity about Lamb against the Eagles: He’s carried the ball 5 times against them, which is the most he’s carried the ball against any team.
7. Jalen Hurts has thrown 4 interceptions against the Cowboys, which is tied for the most interceptions he’s thrown against any team.
