Dallas Cowboys at the Philadelphia Eagles. 4-1 vs. 5-0. Sunday Night Football. It does not get much better than that.
"We know this team well," Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday's 94WIP Morning Show when asked about Sunday's massive game vs. the Cowboys.
"We know this is a good defense. We know this has the capabilities of being a good offense and this is always a good special teams unit. I think they're well coached, I think they've got playmakers all over the place and we're going to have to be on our best game. It's going to be a battle. There's two really good teams going at it. I think they're a really good team, I think we can be a really good team."
Sirianni admits this game has a different feel to it, likening it to a college football rivalry like one that he experienced in Ohio as a defensive backs coach for the University of Mount Union in 2004.

"And so, it's going to be a battle and we know we'll have the advantage of home field advantage this week...It kind of feels like college," Sirianni said. "It's like Mount Union, John Carroll, I know to a much bigger extent. That's the big one for me. And so, like, it feels a little bit different. You can just feel that. Really excited about the challenge that we have and we're going to need the entire week of preparation to get ready."
