Dallas Cowboys Ready For 'Lucky' Philadelphia Eagles: 'They Got To Come See Us Now!'
While the Philadelphia Eagles have yet another showdown against yet another elite opponent this Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys are already licking their chops and anxiously awaiting the teams' rematch Dec. 10 in Arlington.
After an entertaining escape against the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night, the Cowboys in their post-game locker room were talking about the Eagles.
Said star linebacker, "They got to come see us now!"
Added quarterback Dak Prescott about Philly, "Probably won’t be the last time we get them this season. It’s two great teams, division rivals. To get to where we both want to go, we'll probably will have to see one another again.”

While the Cowboys have - until last night - had smooth, record-setting sailing en route to their 9-3 record (they've scored 40 points in four straight home games), they've watched the Eagles mount scintillating comeback wins the last two weeks against the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
After their 28-23 loss at Lincoln Financial Field a month ago the Cowboys were hoping Philly would stub its toe at least once against a stacked schedule, setting up a showdown for the NFC East lead at AT&T Stadium next weekend. Alas, the Eagles keep making the best plays at the biggest times and are 10-1, with a two-game lead heading into Sunday's titanic tilt with the San Francisco 49ers.
"What have I done to deserve this?'' Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joked about watching the Eagles' dramatic victories. "Why can't that ball bounce the right way?"
The Cowboys and Eagles are battling for free-agent linebacker Shaq Leonard. They're battling for the NFC East. And, soon enough, they'll again battle on the field in yet another Super Bowl-caliber test for Philly.
