Attention Eagles fans

Don’t look now but suddenly there are a couple of speed bumps on the Eagles’ path to the playoffs.

They might look familiar. Yep, guys with stars on their helmets.

No, the Cowboys aren’t likely to make the playoffs. The bad news is they will have a big say on whether the Eagles do as well.

The two teams have both games in their annual home-and-home docket still to play, with the first set Sunday night in Dallas.

The Cowboys suddenly are looking a lot more like the team that throttled the Eagles on back-to-back weeks last year than the team that struggled out of the gate this year.

Yesterday they had to go to overtime but still beat Peyton Manning and the Colts in Indianapolis.

The Eagles will host the Cowboys to finish the season on Jan. 2. What a way to ring in the new year. Could be win and in for the Birds.
