The Dallas Cowboys face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Dec. 31 in Week 17 of the 2017 NFL season. Here is all the info you need to watch.
In theory, having the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys square off in Week 17 of the 2017 season should have set up a high-stakes matchup. However, that’s not the way things ultimately played out. Even with the injury to Carson Wentz, the Eagles have been able to lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Meanwhile, the Cowboys come into this matchup with nothing to play for, having been eliminated from postseason contention.
Dallas really shot themselves in the foot when Ezekiel Elliott was suspended. Yes, not having the star running back hurt. However, Jason Garrett and the coaching staff dropped the ball entirely. They didn’t set Dak Prescott up to succeed, didn’t game-plan well defensively and ultimately cost this team their playoff chances.
As for Philadelphia, they can basically go through the motions in this game. In fairness, they probably won’t as beating the Boys is always important to them. After all, Eagles vs. Cowboys is always smart money. However, in terms of actual stakes for this home matchup, the Birds have very little to play for on Sunday.

The good news is that the Eagles don’t have anything to play for in this matchup. From the division to the top seed in the NFC, Philadelphia can coast through Week 17. What’s more, the Cowboys played themselves out of the playoffs last week, so they have nothing left either. However, this rivalry game could still be exciting, as it is no matter what when these two teams play.
