Eagles and Cowboys Meet Saturday Night Before Playoffs (01/08/2022)

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens

At the onset of Nick Siriani’s hiring by the Eagles were low expectations.  Sirianni replaced Doug Pederson, who won the 2017 season Super Bowl.  Subsequently, Pederson flamed out and reached his expiration date.  So too did quarterback Carson Wentz reach his shelf life.  Despite having no betting on NFL appeal in the future’s market, the Eagles have proven football wrong.  Siriani and new starting quarterback Jalen Hurts are having the last laugh.  The playoff-bound Eagles will host the NFC East champion and rival Dallas Cowboys.  Dallas is a remarkable turnaround story in its own right.
