The Dallas Cowboys have been very solid for most of the season, but they still need to prove themselves against elite teams.
They will have another opportunity to do so on Sunday when they host the Philadelphia Eagles for a long-awaited rematch, just five weeks after their first meeting of the campaign.
With that in mind, NFL analyst and well-known diehard Cowboys fan Skip Bayless mocked the Eagles for signing veteran LB Shaquille Leonard, via “Undisputed.”

Bayless went as far as to claim the Eagles were “desperate,” which is why they went out of their way to sign Leonard.
Ironically, the Cowboys were also in the mix to sign Leonard, and they actually made him an offer as well.
Bayless, however, thinks that Leonard has been a shell of himself this season, adding that two back surgeries could be career-threatening and that he might only start getting back to his usual self next season.
Skip has repeatedly stated that the Cowboys are better than the Eagles this season and that they’re going to beat them in the rematch, even though the Cowboys have struggled to get on top of winning teams for years now.
The Eagles are fresh off a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers, so they’ll now have to show plenty of resiliency to get back on their feet right away.
On the flip side, the Cowboys could also make the most of this momentum to make a statement against their divisional rival, but making predictions about this game will be quite complicated.
