UPDATE: The NFL has since confirmed this report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This will mark the first time the Eagles are playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving since they last met in a 2014 Turkey Day matchup. Mark Sanchez quarterbacked the Birds in a 33 to 10 win over the Cowboys that day. The only other Eagles-Cowboys game on Thanksgiving was back in 1989, when Philly pitched a 27 to 0 shutout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So, if history is any indication, Thanksgiving could be a fun one!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Of course, those old games don\u2019t actually dictate how things will go this year. If anything, it might be more relevant how the Eagles have struggled to find wins at JerryWorld for some time now. They\u2019re 1-7 in their last eight games down in Dallas, with the sole win coming over Cooper Rush under center in November 2024. Sorry to remind you but the Eagles were in strong position to get a road win over the Cowboys last season, jumping out to a 21-point lead before Dallas scored 24 unanswered points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The feeling here is that the Cowboys are going to be the top threat in the division to the Eagles threepeating as NFC East champions this season. Their offense still projects to be one of the NFL\u2019s best (barring a George Pickens trade, perhaps) and their defense should be improved under former Eagles assistant and new Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This one has the makings of a compelling game, hence the national spotlight. Note that the Cowboys play in the middle of the three Thanksgiving games each year, so, we\u2019re looking at a 4:30 PM Eastern start time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 NFL schedule won\u2019t be officially revealed until the evening of Thursday, May 14 \u2026 but the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46147,99],"class_list":["post-637371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
