The Philadelphia Eagles can clinch the NFC East title with a home win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. But they’ll be without quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was concussed last weekend in the loss at Washington that ended his team’s winning streak at 10 games. Kenny Pickett will get the start in Hurts’ place. Dallas already has been eliminated from playoff contention, derailed by the midseason loss of quarterback Dak Prescott, but the Cowboys will be looking to play spoiler in Philadelphia. Hurts threw two touchdowns and ran for two more in the Eagles’ 34-6 rout of the Cowboys at Dallas last month.
