TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants
DALLAS - The Eagles are flying high after Sunday's thrashing of the Giants and here's a few reasons why:
* They're getting a lot from their young players. Second-year WR DeSean Jackson had a 54-yard TD reception against New York. All six of Jackson's TDs this season have been 50 yards or longer. Rookies LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin have also been impressive. McCoy ran 66 yards for a TD on Sunday and Maclin caught a 23-yard scoring pass.
* Donovan McNabb isn't turning the ball over. He has nine TDs and one interception this season.
"Philadelphia is very good," Cowboys LB Bobby Carpenter said. "We're going to have to really well to beat them."
* They killed the Giants without RB Brian Westbrook, who will surely play against Dallas afte sitting out Sunday's game with a concussion.
* They've got ball-hawking DBs. CB Asante Samuel and S Quintin Demps, a San Antonio Roosevelt product, both intercepted Eli Manning passes Sunday.
