Cowboys focused on stopping Saquon Barkley regardless of who’s at quarterback for Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys are headed to Philadelphia, where they will play spoilers and the post-Christmas Grinch against the Eagles, who are looking to wrap up the NFC East.

Philadelphia could be without Jalen Hurts, who is currently in concussion protocol.  If Hurts can’t play, Kenny Pickett or Tanner McKee could get the start.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy isn’t taking any chances, choosing to focus on stopping Saquon Barkley, regardless of who the quarterback is.

Barkley had 14 carries for 66 yards (4.7 avg) in the first matchup, while A.J. Brown finished with another 100-yard game, logging five catches for 109 yards (21.8 avg) and making a massive catch after a huge catch.
