Division Title in Sight for Cowboys Sunday

The Cowboys will be looking to lock up a first-round bye this week when they host the division-rival Eagles at Texas Stadium.  The ‘Boys are 12-and-1, with their only loss coming at the hands of the undefeated Patriots.  Jason Witten matched an NFL record for receptions by a tight end with 15 in the Cowboys’ 28-27 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 14.  The win gave the Cowboys their first NFC East crown since 1998.  The Eagles are in last place in the division at 5-and-8.  David Akers missed a potential game-tying 57-yard field goal in the closing seconds of Philadelphia’s 16-13 loss to the New York Giants last week.  It was the third straight loss for the Eagles.  Dallas won the first meeting this season between the clubs, 38-17, in Week Nine.
