The Dallas Cowboys are set to host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon and as it is a division game that makes it pretty meaningful.
Obviously the Cowboys are doing everything they can to rally in the hopes of making some sort of push to the playoffs. Whether or not they are successfully able to do that remains to be seen, but any sort of movement on that front would have to involve a win on Sunday in all likelihood.
As noted, the divisional nature of the game makes it fun and interesting, but did you know that these are sort of Dak Prescott’s specialty? A talking point online lately has been that Prescott has not lost a divisional game at home since Philadelphia in 2017.
That was the night that Jerry Jones was honored for having recently (at the time) gone into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It was (at the time) the worst loss the Cowboys ever endured at AT&T Stadium. It was the second game of a three-game stretch where Dallas failed to break double digits from a scoring perspective, a first in franchise history. It was a dark time to say the least!
We should note that Dak has been out for games that were of a divisional nature since the point in question which help make the statistic what it is. Still, it is objectively impressive.
