What happened: Dallas takes the field without George Pickens, Porter and Overshown, per Werder. Earlier this season the Cowboys faced Tampa Bay with Baker Mayfield, Green Bay without Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons, and Philadelphia without Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith and Lane Johnson. Those three opponents won two of the three games.

Why it matters: Dallas lost 30-33 to Arizona on Nov. 1 and now has three more starters out. The earlier opponents were also thin, so missing players have not reliably decided these games. Werder's point: with the Eagles playing without Hurts and other foes short-handed, Dallas has no

What to watch: Watch how Dallas's offense and defense hold up without Pickens, Porter and Overshown.
