“Fox NFL Sunday” host Terry Bradshaw thinks the Dallas Cowboys are in line for an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
Bradshaw used an analogy about a horse he owns to explain why he thought the Cowboys would knock off the Eagles. Dallas is a 3-point underdog to Philadelphia.
“I got a stud horse. His name is Mean Joe Greene, biggest disappointment I ever had in my barn, and I finally had to talk with him this past week,” Bradshaw said. “And I told him, ‘Look, man, we got the world show coming up, and you’re gonna stay in the Bradshaw barn, or you’re going somewhere else.’ He went out, and you know what, he delivered.
“My point is this — I’m trying to make — this is Dallas. This is it. I have a talk with you. It’s time to deliver, Dallas today makes a statement by beating Philadelphia, and then they’ll convince themselves they belong in the world championship.”
Former New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski agreed, picking the Cowboys to pull off the upset, much to the amusement of Bradshaw, who complimented the selection.
“I’m on the same page as you … not with the horse, but with the Cowboys,” Gronkowski said. “If they do beat the Eagles today, it’s because of their offense. It has been humming all year long, and this George Pickens trade is becoming and being proven as the steal of the offseason this year.
“What’s making the Dallas Cowboys offense go? Yeah, you got [CeeDee] Lamb, you got Pickens, but it’s their run game that is keeping them balanced. Javonte Williams just having a career here, and it’s opening up that play action as well, with Dak Prescott.”
The Cowboys and Eagles will square off at 3:25 p.m. on Fox.
