FRISCO — Dak Prescott was unable to make the first meeting of the season. Jalen Hurts will miss the rematch. Is this any way for the two, best quarterbacks in...
Cowboys and Eagles
“Well I mean, as we talk all the time, these are the most important games and quarterback differential is a big part of it,’’ Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said of the NFC East. “I mean if you just look at the last 10, 11 games against the Eagles, the big obvious is our turnover differential, our time of possession and the one that jumps out is quarterback differential. So quarterback differential factors.
Prescott has led the Cowboys to three division titles since ‘16. Hurts is the biggest threat to his reign going forward. He’s been phenomenal this season. Gardner Minshew will take over for Hurts and is capable of beating the Cowboys on Christmas Eve. But he’s not nearly as dangerous a runner as Hurts. He won’t stress the Dallas defense on third-and-short the way Hurts did when the teams met earlier this season.
“We’re always going to think about his safety first,’’ Sirianni said. “I know you guys are probably like, ‘well, he got hurt .’ Well, he also ran for 180 yards against Green Bay.“But we are who we are as an offense, explosively, scoring-wise, all those different things, because Jalen can do so many things, both running the football and passing the football.’’
