Nick Foles and the Eagles have looked very impressive in the second half of the season. The Eagles offense will be led by Foles, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy, and the Cowboys will certainly have their hands full trying to stop Chip Kelly's offensive attack.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, will likely rely heavily on the legs of DeMarco Murray, who has been one of the NFL's best players over the past month.
