Featured Game Week 14 - Philadelphia Eagles At
Dallas Cowboys
|
The Eagles expected they would go
into this game knowing if the Giants had won or not, but snow in
Minneapolis foiled that plan and moved the Giants game to Monday
night. The Eagles will have to approach this as if they need it
to hold the division. |

The Cowboys answer back with a 6 minute drive so they total 43
PossessionPoints to start. This has the makings of a
"Green-Green" shootout. We will see if any defense shows up
tonight. |

The Eagles answer on their next drive with a field goal. Their 2
minute drive was worth just13 PossessionPoints. Their next score
will definitely take them out of the red and send them at least
to the yellow zone. We could still be in for a "green - green"
shootout. |

change to the Eagles PossessionPoints total. |
