It was December 28th the last time these two teams met at Lincoln Field, and as cold as the Philadelphia weather three days after Christmas, so are the fans.

At the conclusion of last season's 44-6 loss at Philadelphia, the first order of business for the Cowboys was to fire special teams coordinator Bruce Read , who had failed miserably in his two seasons with the club.

ARLINGTON This is how the Dallas Cowboys graded out in their 38-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.
