The NFL's Week 7 schedule features a high-stakes Monday night matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, with both teams needing a win in the competitive NFC East.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley expressed optimism about returning to the lineup for Monday's game, despite recent injuries.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, NFL Network, and SportsRadio 94WIP, with a national audience tuning in to see which team can take control of the division.
In a recent interview, Barkley noted, 'You're not looking too far ahead, but the NFC East is struggling and the NFC East is really asking for someone to take it over.'
The Eagles are hopeful that Barkley will be available for the game, as he leads the team in rushing yards with 182 and has two games of 80-plus yards this season.
The Eagles and Cowboys will also be joined by a Hall of Fame induction at halftime, adding an extra layer of excitement to the already intense matchup.
