Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 20:31 · Archive

The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, both 2-4, meet on Monday Night Football with the Eagles severely hampered by injuries.

The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles meet on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET with both teams seeking their third wins of the season. The Cowboys are 2-4 after victories over the Commanders and Texans and losses to the Giants, Ravens, Buccaneers and Packers, all by ten points or less. The Eagles opened 2-0 but have since lost four straight to the Bears, Rams, Jaguars and Panthers.

The Eagles face a significant injury crisis. Franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a left calf injury on 4 October after being cleated, leading to a blood clot diagnosis. Backup quarterback Tanner McKee will start for a second consecutive week in his place. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said 'your job is to go out and to try to win every game the best way that you can' and 'it always is players over plays'.

Both teams are fighting for second place in the NFC East division. The Cowboys are favoured by 4.5 points, according to Fox News, which also noted they have lost three of their past four games and suffered 'embarrassing losses' this season.
