Story summary

The Dallas Cowboys face the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial Week 7 Monday Night Football matchup on October 26, with both teams struggling at 2-4. The Eagles are reeling from losing franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts indefinitely due to blood clots, leaving backup Tanner McKee to lead them. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have their own issues, including an inconsistent defense that has struggled against blitzes aimed at Dak Prescott. Despite these challenges, both teams aim to improve their standing in the NFC East, where they are currently tied for third place behind the New York Giants. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC starting at 8:15 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
