PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The biggest game of the Eagles' season is on the horizon, one that is expected to determine the fate of the NFC East. The Cowboys are coming to the Linc with a 5-2 record, 1 1/2 games behind Philadelphia for first place in the division.

A win for the Cowboys puts Dallas a half-game behind the Eagles but with the same number of losses in the loss column and the head-to-head tiebreaker for first place. An Eagles victory puts Philadelphia 2 1/2 games ahead of the Cowboys -- and the head-to-head tiebreaker in place.

This game is not an NFC East clincher for the Eagles, but the Birds will have control of their own destiny in the division with a brutal schedule incoming. The Cowboys are the first of six consecutive teams with a winning record the Eagles will face over the next six weeks, making Sunday's game even more important in the battle for division supremacy.
