The Dallas Cowboys have been told they are "meaningless" to the Philadelphia Eagles after bungling a 17-point lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, blowing hopes of a blockbuster NFL clash at AT&T Stadium on Christmas Eve.
Dallas were beaten 40-34 by the Jaguars in overtime, dropping Mike McCarthy's team to 10-4, giving the 13-1 Eagles a commanding lead atop the NFC East in the process with the number one seed almost secured with plenty of time to spare.
As a result, what promised to be a high-stakes clash between the old rivals on Saturday is of little importance to the Eagles' season. And after spraining his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, star quarterback Jalen Hurts is listed as "questionable" to play.
