The DALLAS COWBOYS (8-3) have won three consecutive games and are one of three teams undefeated at home this season. They are 5-0 at AT&T Stadium in 2023 and have scored at least 30 points in each game. Since Week 2 of the 2022 season, the Cowboys have won 13 consecutive home games, the longest active streak in the NFL.
The PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (10-1) and SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (8-3) enter their Week 13 matchup as the top two seeds in the NFC. This Sunday’s contest (4:25 p.m. ET, FOX) will be the first time the clubs have met since Philadelphia defeated San Francisco, 31-7, in last season’s NFC Championship.
If Philadelphia wins, the Eagles will become the second team in NFL history to win at least 11 of their first 12 regular-season games in consecutive seasons, joining the 1972-73 MIAMI DOLPHINS.
