Dallas Cowboys: 5 Players that must shine vs Eagles in Week 16

2. Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper has terrorized the Eagles in previous meetings between the two rivals. Cooper had five receptions for 106 yards against Philadelphia earlier this season, putting him over 20 yards per reception.

That performance was impressive but, compared to what he did last year against Philadelphia, it was nothing. In 2018, Cooper had 16 receptions and 292 yards in two games. They simply didn’t have an answer for the three-time Pro Bowler.

Although Cooper has now exceeded 1,000 receiving yards on the season, his production on the road is concerning. The star wideout has had some lackluster performances away from AT&T Stadium, which is the case for this upcoming divisional battle. Add that onto the fact that Cooper managed to pull in just one ball for 19 yards against Los Angeles and there is some cause for doubt.

It’s been evident that Cooper hasn’t been playing at full health. Luckily, the Cowboys have plenty of talent to carry the load. This could potentially be one of his last games as a Cowboy with Cooper becoming a free agent this offseason.

The Eagles secondary is anything but elite and Cooper will have plenty of chances to make big-time catches. When he is on top of his game, there are few better than the Dallas star receiver in the NFL.
