NFC East Week 7 preview: Cowboys can take major step forward vs. Eagles

Jess Haynie previews the Week 7 NFC East slate, highlighting a crucial Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams currently hold 2-4 records, with the winner positioned to gain ground on the division-leading New York Giants. Haynie views the clash as a must-win contest for both franchises to stay competitive in the division race.

Haynie notes Philadelphia enters on a four-game losing streak and will likely miss quarterback Jalen Hurts, leaving Tanner McKee under center. While Dallas has dropped consecutive games to the Buccaneers and Packers, the writer argues that failing to defeat an injury-hit Eagles team could cause major internal fallout for Dallas.
