A really cool programming note:

I’ve joined @TheAthletic. If you’ve noticed me on The Athletic Football Show recently, that’s because I’m joining the show full time for the 2025 NFL season & beyond. I’m a long-time listener and fan of the show, so it’s surreal and fun as hell to be signing on.

I’m so incredibly excited for the opportunity to talk ball with @robertmays and @QBKlass and share the league and the game with y’all. And for my draft folks, please know I will be working extensively with @dpbrugler both in-season & during the draft cycle. So keep an eye out for that.

That’s pretty much it. Come check us out. Looking forward to it.

a division win’s a division win, I suppose.

but this was a frustrating watch imo.

if they had gone for it there after some of the decisions they've made tonight, I might've lost it

"Let's give the ball to Luepke and make sure we get out of this with at least a field goal," says the play caller whose offense has been gashing the opponent, and who employs an 11th year vet at QB.

I mean they're gonna win, fine. But wtf.

Zero chance I'm adjusting my opinion of the Cowboys based on this game. But it does count for something that most of Philly's expensive defenders are out there, & the run game is just rolling over them.

Not that Philly's defense has been great all year. Still. It's not nothing.

Football is on the backburner for Dante Moore right now.

Health is the priority before we speculate if Moore will enter the 2027 NFL Draft (and what the injury means for his draft status). Tough situation.

Cowboys could've had at one more play within the 10-yard line if they handled the clock better there. Instead, they kick a FG with 3 seconds left to take a 20-14 lead into the half.

3rd & 8 give-up run when you have a legit QB and the actual worst defense in the NFL is absolutely crazy.

In a season of questionable and cowardly coaching decisions by Brian Schottenheimer, that really might take the cake.

little did we know Schotty was gonna have Christian Parker call the “have McKee dirt a wide open first down” play.

checkmate, haters

“Cheat on every 3rd down, they won’t catch you every time” is honestly not the worst idea I’ve ever heard for this Dallas defense.

alright, credit where it’s due. that was a sick throw and a better catch.

Hey btw, I'll be hopping on with the guys on @TheAthleticLIVE toward the end of the 1Q to talk myself through it the way this team makes me feel.

Am I being a hater if Damn Dakota doesn’t feel appropo tonight? Idk I just feel zero juice for this at all.

Taking the points when you're offered a 4th & 3 is a little more palatable if you trust your defense to hold a backup QB to a low point total.

but, about that ...

I am as unenthused for a Cowboys/Eagles game as I can remember, but I am here all the same.

All-Pro caliber player this season

Sources: Texas star left tackle Trevor Goosby will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury against Ole Miss on Saturday. Goosby is the country’s top NFL prospect at left tackle, as ESPN’s Field Yates ranked him the No. 8 pick in his most recent mock draft.

pretty impressed by Sam LaPorta here. tough topic to articulate in a quick sound bite, not a topic that’s going to get you a lot of sympathy from fans. navigated it deftly without backtracking at all.

Seahawks ruled out RB Zach Charbonnet for Sunday night‘s game vs the Chiefs.

#49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) is out for Sunday, per Kyle Shanahan. A bye after that, so two weeks for the veteran to rest.
