Cowboys vs Eagles: Saquon Barkley's success has lessend the need for Jalen Hurts to carry the offense

The Cowboys and Eagles are set to face off in a crucial NFC East matchup on Sunday Night Football.

The Cowboys come into the game as the favorites, having won four of their last five games. The Eagles, on the other hand, have lost three of their last four games. Even so, the Eagles did bring their record to 8-5.

One of the key matchups in the game will be between the Cowboys' offense and the Eagles' defense. The Cowboys have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL, led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. The Eagles have a top-ranked defense, allowing just 18.9 points per game.

Running back Saquon Barkley has been a key part of the Cowboys' success this season.

Barkley has rushed for over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He has also been a major factor in the passing game, catching 34 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns.

Barkley's success has lessened the need for quarterback Jalen Hurts to carry the offense. Hurts is still a dangerous runner, but he has been able to focus more on passing the ball this season. He has thrown for over 2,700 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.

With Barkley and Hurts leading the way, the Cowboys' offense is one of the most dangerous in the NFL. The Eagles' defense will have their hands full trying to slow them down.
