The Dallas team announced that their coach has been hospitalized after complaining from abdominal pain and will likely be released later in the day.

The Cowboys (9-3) trail the defending NFC champion Eagles (10-2) by a game in the NFC East. Dallas takes a 14-game home winning streak into the rematch and needs a victory to maintain realistic hopes of taking the division crown from Philadelphia.
