Arguably, the most anticipated matchup of Week 9 will be between the two best teams in the NFC East, with the one-loss Philadelphia Eagles going up against the stout defense of the Dallas Cowboys led by superstar linebacker Micah Parsons.
With the San Francisco 49ers falling off over the past few weeks, the Cowboys and Eagles will be battling it out for bragging rights and the distinction as the best team in the NFC, if not the entire NFL.
This will likely be a classic matchup between an offense filled with talented players going up against a dominant defense, as Philadelphia can put up the points with Jalen Hurts under center, and Dallas can put the clamps on with Parsons leading the way defensively.
One player that might prove to be the difference for the Eagles is veteran wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has taken his game to another level since landing in Philadelphia.
Former NFL player and current analyst Andrew Hawkins talked about what makes Brown special ahead of this matchup between the division rivals, via NFL on ESPN.

Brown is having an incredible year for the Eagles thus far and could be on pace to top last year’s numbers if he can continue to play at a high level moving forward.
In eight games this season, Brown has caught 60 passes, only 28 short of last year’s total, for 939 yards and five touchdowns.
Brown and Hurts have been on the same page, and it is really starting to pay off and could be a huge part of Sunday’s game.
