NFL scores, live updates: The Eagles are still in the hunt for the NFC No. 1 seed against the Cowboys, Josh Allen looks to extend the MVP case against the Jets

The Philadelphia Eagles want some safety. After a high-scoring loss to the Washington Commanders last week, the NFC East Division title championship has been put on hold for at least another week. But Philly can secure a first-round bye with a win over the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon — and stay in the race for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, at least for the day. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was knocked out of the game by a concussion in the loss to Washington, but the ground game still did its job as Saquon Barkley rushed for 150 yards. He’s just 268 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards in a single season, and while Barkley fell short of 70 yards in the teams’ first meeting, Dallas’ porous run defense – ranked 26th in the United States – could League – a chance for him to make up some ground in the record.

Also starting, the Buffalo Bills take on the New York Jets, with Josh Allen eyeing a possible first NFL MVP award. He’ll have to impress voters – in a game that won’t have much impact on the first round of the playoffs for the Bills, as the Chiefs secure the No. 1 seed on Christmas Day – to keep up with Lamar Jackson after his brilliant Christmas performance .
