The statement was a declaration of war.
Actually, it was a big ol’ gift-wrapped present to the Dallas Cowboys.
Doug Pederson did not merely predict victory.
He said his Philadelphia Eagles are going to travel to AT&T Stadium and beat their archrivals on Sunday night. In primetime. On national TV. Playing for first place in the NFC East.
“We’re going down to Dallas, and our guys are gonna be ready to play. And we’re gonna win that football game, and when we do, we’re in first place in the NFC East,” Pederson said Monday in his weekly radio appearance.
