Today's Eagles vs Cowboys live stream will feature Dak and 'Dem Boys taking on a Hurts-less Philly squad. Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni announced MVP favorite, Jalen Hurts will sit out this week's matchup in Dallas as he deals with a shoulder sprain. Backup Gardner Minshew will get the start in this NFL live stream.

Minshew's last start came against these Cowboys in Week 18 of last season. He threw for 186 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in a 51-26 Dallas win. It's worth noting, the Eagles chose to rest many of their starters as their playoff seeding was set, while the Cowboys were stilling fighting for positioning.

While the Eagles' offense is missing it's biggest piece, they are getting one weapon back. Tight End Dallas Goedert will join A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Miles Sanders for the first time since Week 10's loss to the Commanders when he suffered a shoulder injury. In Minshew's only other start last season, he threw two touchdowns to Goedert as the tight end finished with 105 yards on six catches.     

The Cowboys (10-4) are coming off a devastating 40-34 loss to the Jaguars. Dallas led that game 27-10 with 5:21 remaining in the 3rd quarter, before Trevor Lawrence and the Jags stormed back to force overtime. On Dallas’ first possession of the extra period, Dak Prescott threw a pick-six into the hands of Rayshawn Jenkins who returned it 52 yards for the game winning score. It was Prescott’s second interception of the game and 11th on the season. Since making his return from a thumb injury in Week 7, no one has thrown more interceptions than Dak over that time.

If any team is ready to capitalize on Prescott’s struggles, it’s the Eagles. Philly’s defense has been a force this season. Not only do they lead the NFL with 15 interceptions, but they also has the most sacks with 55. Edge rusher Haason Reddick leads the pack with 12 on the season while defensive tackle Javon Hardgrave has 10. In total, five Eagles have recorded at least six sacks this year.

Defensive play could end up taking center stage after the dust settles in this game. If the Eagles can continue their strong season against Dak, than Dallas could do the same against Minshew. Micah Parsons and Dorance Armstrong help lead a Cowboys defense that is second to only the Eagles in sacks with 49. Also, Dallas leads the NFL with 26 takeaways this season, one more than Philly.

The Action Network has the Cowboys as 4-point favorites against the Eagles — which has stayed flat these last days. The Eagles won the first meeting with Dallas in Week 6, 26-17. The Cowboys were without Prescott for that one as he was still on the mend with a broken thumb. Cooper Rush started the game and posted a career low 37 passer rating.
