The Eagles host the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 6. Here are some key matchups to watch.
“A lot. He’s a really good football player,” Steichen said. “I know Coach mentioned it yesterday. He has to be accounted for on every play. He flies around. They line him up all over the place. Really good pass rusher. He has speed. He has power. So, we have to be aware of him.
While Parsons moves around quite a bit, he’s really dangerous as an edge rusher from both sides. The Eagles will really need Jordan Mailata to be back and healthy in this one. Because Mailata and Lane Johnson, who has been great this season, will have a big test on Sunday. For the most part, Diggs plays all of his snaps as the Cowboys’ right cornerback, while Anthony Brown plays on the left side. That means the Eagles can dictate the matchups they want in this game.
The Cowboys move Lamb around quite a bit but it would make sense for Darius Slay to travel with him from left to right and then the Eagles will have Avonte Maddox deal with Lamb in the slot. In the Eagles’ first matchup against the Cowboys last season, Lamb had 3 catches for 66 yards but all of them came against Steven Nelson. The Eagles have upgraded at that CB2 spot this year with James Bradberry. So we might see a lot of Slay vs. Lamb and Bradberry vs. Gallup on Sunday night.
