Even though they’re not scoring at the rate we expected, the Eagles are a half away from hosting the Saints in the playoffs.

The Eagles lead the Cowboys 17-10 at halftime of the NFC East title game, behind a pair of Nick Foles touchdown passes.

Foles is 12-of-16 passing for 197 yards in the first half, against a Cowboys defense that seems to get worse by the week.

The Cowboys showed a bit of a pulse, but a Kyle Orton interception was quickly followed by Foles’ touchdown to tight end Brent Celek.

The Cowboys aren’t good enough defensively to get in a shootout, and playing clutch-and-grab and keep-away is only going to hold up for so long
