4 teams Cowboys need to be most worried about in Super Bowl pursuit
By Ryan Heckman
Who the Cowboys should be most worried about in Super Bowl pursuit: The Philadelphia Eagles
The Cowboys know Philadelphia well. This is, after all, a bitter rival of theirs. And it just so happens that this bitter rival is one of the current Super Bowl favorites.
In their first meeting, the Cowboys went down big and in a hurry. Philly jumped all over them, going up 20-0 with just under two minutes to go in the first half. Going into the intermission, Dallas was down 20-3.
The Cowboys made a game of it later on, but Philadelphia still won by a score of 26-17. If the rematch is anything like the early stages of this one, Dallas is in trouble. At the very least, the Cowboys have one more dress rehearsal before a potential third meeting in the postseason.
Regardless of whether or not they meet in the playoffs, we know this: Philadelphia has shown the ability to trounce this Cowboys team.

Jalen Hurts is a problem, both as a passer and a runner. The step he’s taken in 2022 is the type of step every franchise wants their young quarterback to take, and he’s done it flawlessly. Everything runs through Hurts, quite literally. He’s become one of the most lethal players in all of football, no matter the position.
In addition to Hurts, the Eagles defense is one of the very best in the NFL. The term “well-rounded” can be used loosely when talking Philly. This team is loaded.
