Since then no wide receiver has had more than six catches or more than 91 receiving yards against the Cowboys.
But Jackson and Maclin represent the Cowboys' biggest challenge of the season.
"Our main goal this week is to not give up [big plays]," Jenkins said. "As long as we do that and make them get a lot of short yardage and not a big chunk, we'll be good."
That's easier said than done. All of Jackson's six touchdowns this year have covered at least 54 yards. Only Miles Austin has a better yard-per-catch than Jackson's 20.9-average. He had eight catches for 156 yards in two games against the Cowboys last year.

Plenty of game balls to go around
PHILADELPHIA - The first one goes to Cowboys CB Terence Newman, who completely took DeSean Jackson out of the game.
Jackson had only two catches for 29 yards after entering the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards. In a performance reminiscent of his shut-down job on Carolina's Steve Smith in Week 3, Newman made four tackles and broke up one pass. He did give up an...
Romo's interception string ends
PHILADELPHIA - Trailing 13-10 after Donovan McNabb's 11-yard TD pass to Brent Celek, the Cowboys did what they've done so often in big games under Wade Phillips - commit a turnover.
This time, it was Eagles CB intercepting a Tony Romo pass that went behind Jason Witten.
Romo had gone a career-high three games without an interception, a string that covered 144 attempts.
Is DeSean Jackson playing?
PHILADELPHIA - It's the 2-minute warning and explosive Eagles WR DeSean Jackson still doesn't have a catch.

It also helps that the Dallas pass rush isn't giving Donovan McNabb much time to plant his feat and survey the field.
Jackson entered the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards.
