Cowboys visit a struggling Eagles team Monday night with the NFC East in reach
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field, and Philadelphia comes in on a four-game losing streak. Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET, which is 5:15 p.m. Pacific and 12:15 a.m. GMT on Tuesday.
This is Monday Night Football, the Eagles' Week 7 game. In the United States, it airs on ESPN or ABC. Fans can also stream it on Fubo or ESPN Unlimited, though Fubo's ABC coverage depends on where you live. Viewers in Canada can use Fubo Sports Pro or DAZN, and in the UK the game is on Sky Sports NFL or Sky Sports Main Event, or streaming through NOW or NFL Game Pass on DAZN.
The stakes are real for both sides. Both teams remain within reach of the first-place Giants in the NFC East, the division that decides which NFC teams host playoff games. A loss would make that gap harder to close.
The Eagles' biggest problem is at quarterback. Jalen Hurts has most likely been knocked out for the season because of blood clots, and backup Tanner McKee has inherited the starting job. Philadelphia is also dealing with injuries across the roster, according to the Cowboys' own preview. A new starter often means a team leans on its most familiar plays, though how McKee handles the Cowboys' pass rush will be the real test.
Dallas brings a defensive plan built by a man who knows the Eagles well. Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker is a former Eagles assistant, so he has spent time inside Philadelphia's coaching room. He will be trying to slow an offense that has lost its starter and its rhythm.
There is also some history between the two. In September 2021, Dallas beat Philadelphia 41-21, and Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes in his first home game after an ankle injury. Monday's game carries different stakes, with different quarterbacks, but the rivalry is the same.
Fans heading to the stadium should know the Eagles are marking Hall of Fame night on the same evening. Tickets were listed as low as $96 for the game, according to ESPN's team page. Disney+ subscribers can also watch the game, which is one of two regular-season games unlocked for them.
For a fall Monday, this one has the ingredients of appointment viewing. A quarterback change, a four-game skid, a division race and a familiar former assistant on the sideline make for a game where the early plays will tell a lot. Kickoff is in the evening in the US, and close to midnight in Britain.
