Welcome to Texas
Good evening and welcome from AT&T Stadium for our Eagles live blog. Eagles-Cowboys is always special and when they are battling for NFC supremacy as they are, it gives the rivalry even more meaning.
Both teams have been have yet to hit gear and are entering with 3-3 records, the Cowboys have lost three in a row, including last week incredibly to the New York Jets.
And it’s been a busy week, with plenty of off the field banter garnering headlines.
It all began when Doug Pederson sort-of guaranteeing a win and then Cowboys defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence firing back.
If the game comes close to matching the off-the-field drama, this one tonight should be something.
Oh yes, and the winner will be in sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
One bit of housekeeping. I’ll be compiling our free Eagles Early Birds newsletter for Monday morning and we are looking for questions to publish. You can email me (mnarducci@inquirer.com) or send it on Twitter @sjnard.
As always we thank you for following our work on inquirer.com/sports and hope everybody enjoys the game.
