Eagles-Cowboys Film Review: Most annoying defensive performance of the Vic Fangio era
On Monday Night Football, the Eagles’ defense delivered the most frustrating performance of Vic Fangio’s tenure, surrendering 416 yards and 24 points to the Cowboys despite fielding most of its starters. Dallas rushed for 204 yards, used a jumbo six‑lineman set that generated 9.3 yards per carry, and completed vertical routes with a 13.12‑yard average depth of target while the Eagles recorded zero sacks, quarterback hits, or tackles for loss. Fangio’s scheme failed to adjust, leaving the secondary exposed and the blitz ineffective. The post‑game analysis blames the lack of pressure and poor gap control, marking the game as the worst defensive showing since the Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII loss.
Eagles-Cowboys snap counts: Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis play a lot, produce little
The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys are in. Let’s take a look and run through some analysis. OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS DID NOT PLAY ACTIVE: Joe Milton, Mac McWilliams INACTIVE: Nolan Smith, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Cole Payton, Michael Carter II, Lane Johnson, Jake Majors
Thinking about injuries since the Eagles game ended
The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2‑5 and amid the longest losing streak of the Nick Sirianni era, are grappling with a cascade of injuries to stars like Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Carter. The article argues the team’s medical and conditioning staff, exemplified by questionable handling of Jalen Hurts’ injury, may be jeopardizing player health for short‑term wins. It also compares Philadelphia’s plight to the 49ers’ chronic injury issues under Kyle Shanahan’s contact‑heavy practices, calling for the NFLPA and the league to set uniform standards for medical care, practice structure, and player safety.
Eagles cut two practice squad players
The Philadelphia Eagles released two practice‑squad players on Tuesday: safety Dean Clark and versatile offensive tackle Xavier Truss. Clark, signed on Oct. 14 to add depth at safety and nickel corner, and Truss, signed on Oct. 13 for offensive line flexibility, were both cut after less than two weeks. The moves come as the Eagles address roster issues and look to fill the resulting gaps, signaling a push to get their season back on track.
What on earth happened to this Eagles defense?
The Eagles’ defense crumbles in a 38-21 Monday Night loss to the Cowboys, surrendering the league’s 6th‑most total yards (371.3) and 7th‑most passing yards (239.9) despite a talented, high‑priced front seven. With only three interceptions, no fumble recoveries, a 1.1‑sack per‑game average and a 28.1% pressure rate (10th‑worst), the unit looks helpless as Dallas rushes for 204 yards. Injuries provide little excuse; only Nolan Smith registers three sacks, while stars Jalen Carter, Jonathan Greenard and Jordan Davis post minimal impact. The secondary fares no better, highlighted by erratic play from Cooper DeJean and Riq Woolen. The article argues the defense’s decline is now eclipsing the offense’s early‑season woes.
Quenton Nelson trade rumors: Eagles among teams that showed interest in Colts guard
The Philadelphia Eagles were among several teams, including the Packers and Bears, that reportedly showed interest in Indianapolis Colts All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson before the Colts traded him to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. While Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been shopping for a starting blocker, the team's 2‑5 record and impending 2026 trade deadline suggest they may be sellers rather than buyers. Nelson, 30, becomes a free agent after the season, making him a short‑term, high‑cost option the Eagles likely hesitate to pursue.
2027 NFL Draft order: Eagles in the top six
The Philadelphia Eagles are mired in a five‑game losing streak, the NFL’s second‑longest behind the 0‑6 Chargers, and have been out‑gained by a staggering 745 yards—the worst differential in a seven‑week span this century. Their poor performance secures them a No. 6 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, tied with six other 2‑5 teams but edged ahead by a favorable strength‑of‑schedule tiebreaker. Past high‑profile picks like DeVonta Smith and Landon Dickerson in 2021 show the potential upside of landing top talent, though 10 games remain to shape the season’s narrative.
Eagles News: “Is there any part of this team to believe in right now?”
The Philadelphia Eagles slump to 2-5 after a 38-21 defeat at Dallas, prompting Bleeding Green Nation to declare the team "cooked." The defense, once ranked among the league’s worst in yards, rush, and sacks, collapsed again, allowing 416 yards and zero sacks. With Jalen Hurts on IR, Lane Johnson retired, and Saquon Barkley stepping up as a vocal leader, the Eagles face a daunting stretch against the Commanders and Giants after a Monday night loss. Coach Nick Sirianni’s job hangs in the balance, and a miraculous turnaround seems unlikely.
Now comes the fall for the Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni faces mounting criticism after the 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 26, 2026. The author argues that the team’s woes go beyond effort, citing poor game planning, second‑half offensive collapse, and a 0‑8 record as home underdogs under Sirianni. Recent comments from Jordan Mailata about lacking “want to” fuel doubts, while historical parallels to past losing seasons underscore the depth of the problem. With the season seemingly doomed, the piece questions whether any argument beyond “they played hard” remains viable.
Nick Sirianni talks about the Eagles’ defensive struggles
After a humiliating loss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the team’s defensive woes, blaming poor block destruction, missed tackles and a lack of pressure against the Cowboys’ balanced offense. He emphasized the need for better coaching, execution and practice adjustments, while praising the squad’s resilience and growth mindset. Sirianni also discussed Saquon Barkley’s cautious return, noting his limited snap count, health monitoring, and productive contributions when on the field. The coach’s message to players centered on staying consistent, grateful and fighting through tough situations, drawing parallels to the 2021 season’s turnaround.
Eagles vs. Cowboys: The good, the bad, and the ugly
The Dallas Cowboys hand the Philadelphia Eagles a 38-21 defeat at Lincoln Financial Field, extending the Eagles’ losing streak to five games and dropping them to 2‑5 on the season. Dak Prescott throws for 212 yards and three touchdowns while Javonte Williams rushes for 155 yards, as Dallas dominates with 416 total yards. Philadelphia’s lone bright spots come from Makai Lemon’s 67 receiving yards and a 75‑yard opening drive in the second half, but the defense records zero tackles for loss and allows scores on seven of nine possessions. The loss marks the Cowboys’ first win at the Linc since 2021 and fuels speculation that the Eagles may be tanking.
Eagles-Cowboys final score: Philadelphia’s defense gives Dallas offense a get-right game
The Philadelphia Eagles, sitting on a four‑game losing streak at 2‑4, aim to snap it against division rival Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field. The game also features owner Jeff Lurie’s induction into the Eagles Hall of Fame at halftime. Bleeding Green Nation provides live score updates, highlights, injury reports and analysis throughout the matchup, with a discussion thread for fans. Both teams entered the contest with identical 2‑4 records, promising a pivotal NFC East showdown.
Saquon Barkley’s hamstring is still an issue, but the Eagles needed him
The Philadelphia Eagles finally sparked early offense on Monday night, scoring on their first drive thanks to Saquon Barkley's return after a hamstring setback. Barkley admitted he’d gauge his feel in-game, and after a shaky second carry he still finished the drive with a touchdown. He logged ten snaps, a 12‑yard run at halftime and totaled 62 rushing yards before being listed questionable in the fourth quarter due to lingering discomfort. Coach managed his pitch count, limiting his workload as the team hopes the limited action won’t aggravate the injury and he can rebuild toward a full role.
Eagles vs. Cowboys Week 7 ‘Monday Night Football’ live chat
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7 Monday Night Football on Oct. 26, 2026. After a string of disappointing outings, the Eagles return with key offensive linemen Landon Dickerson, Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra back from injury, but lose star receiver DeVonta Smith to a hamstring strain. Fans are invited to join Bleeding Green Nation’s live chat on the SB Nation app for real‑time updates, scoreboards, and debate. The thread hopes the offense can spark the struggling defense, which has been over‑tired from recent snap loads.
Britain Covey ruled out of Eagles-Cowboys MNF game
Britain Covey is ruled out for the rest of Monday Night Football after sustaining a knee injury on the kickoff following the Cowboys' opening field goal against the Eagles. The injury came just 13 minutes into the game, prompting the Eagles to list him as out and shift return duties to Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell. Covey, the team's top return specialist and a depth option at wide receiver, has dealt with multiple injuries since joining Philadelphia this offseason. The team hopes his recovery will be swift.
Eagles-Cowboys inactives: Saquon Barkley will play
The Philadelphia Eagles reveal their Week 7 inactives ahead of Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Nolan Smith, Michael Carter II, Jake Majors and emergency QB Cole Payton sit out. Notably, star RB Saquon Barkley, listed as questionable, confirms he feels good enough to play, though he’s not at 100%. The Eagles' WR depth shifts to Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, Hollywood Brown and Britain Covey, while edge rusher Jalyx Hunt and Jonathan Greenard also stay active. The Cowboys lose KaVontae Turpin, Dee Winters, Drew Shelton and others.
Eagles roster news: 6 moves announced
The Philadelphia Eagles announce six roster changes ahead of their Week 7 Monday night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. Offensive guard Landon Dickerson, tight ends Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers are activated from injured reserve, with Stowers set for his NFL debut. Edge rusher Keyshawn James‑Newby and running back Elijah Mitchell receive temporary practice‑squad elevations, while cornerback Jakorian Bennett remains out on IR. The moves address depth concerns at guard, tight end, edge, and running back as injuries limit Dallas Goedert and other players. The team also notes practice‑squad elevation limits for the season.
Eagles-Cowboys Week 7 prediction
Despite the Philadelphia Eagles’ injury‑plagued, under‑performing season, the Bleeding Green Nation writer predicts an upset over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7. He argues the Cowboys’ defense is the league’s worst and their offense has sputtered under Dak Prescott since 2019, making an Eagles win plausible. The article highlights the timing of Jeffrey Lurie’s Hall of Fame induction as a potential morale boost and offers a specific score prediction of 23‑21 in favor of the Eagles, plus a bold call for Saquon Barkley to throw a touchdown pass.
Eagles-Cowboys Game Preview: 5 questions and answers with the Week 7 enemy
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys Monday night in Week 7, and both clubs face critical questions. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is blamed for a 2-4 start, with poor play-calling and a lingering special‑teams issue, while defensive coordinator Christian Parker struggles with a talent‑short, injury‑hit secondary and a lack of pass rush. Both offenses have stumbled, as recent blitzes have exposed Prescott’s previously strong blitz‑resistance. The preview, based on answers from Cowboys analyst Dave Halprin, highlights the defensive woes, offensive regression, and the need to give Parker a full season to prove himself before any verdict is made.
Landon Dickerson teases return ahead of Eagles-Cowboys game
Philadelphia Eagles guard Landon Dickerson is set to return to the starting lineup for the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The three-time Pro Bowler posted a tunnel photo on Instagram with the caption “Let’s go! 🦅,” confirming his upgrade to full participation after being listed as questionable. Dickerson, who struggled in Week 1 against Washington, could boost the Eagles’ running game, replacing Willie Lampkin. The team has until 4 PM ET Monday to activate him from injured reserve, with rookie tight end Eli Stowers also a possible activation.
E.J. Jenkins reportedly not returning to the Eagles
E.J. Jenkins, the former Eagles tight end, is headed to the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad after being waived last week, according to Andrew DiCecco. Philadelphia did not retain him, despite previously using him as their third tight end and the option to elevate him three times. Jenkins joins a growing list of ex‑Eagles—Andy Dalton, Za’Darius Smith, Olamide Zaccheaus, Jahan Dotson, Sydney Brown, Nick Muse, Robert Longerbeam, Trey Sermon, and Cameron Williams—now in Atlanta, where former Eagles exec Ian Cunningham serves as GM. The Eagles, left with tight ends Dallas Goedert and Johnny Mundt on the active roster and Zach Ertz on the practice squad, are expected to make additional moves before the Week 7 deadline ahead of their Dallas Cowboys matchup.
Eagles News: Saquon Barkley trade scenarios include … the Giants
The article examines a possible trade that could send Saquon Barkley back to the New York Giants from the Philadelphia Eagles. CBS Sports outlines a six‑team deal where the Giants would receive Barkley in exchange for Cam Skattebo and two 2027 picks. The Giants, leading the NFC East, need a true No. 1 back, a need echoed by head coach Brian Harbaugh. The piece also notes the Eagles' struggles – a 2‑4 record entering Week 7 against the Cowboys, a battered roster, and speculation about trading other assets like Tyler Steen. With Jalen Hurts’ status uncertain, the trade scenario adds intrigue to the upcoming Monday Night Football rivalry.
