Shaq of the Eagles Why Leonard chose the Philadelphia Eagles over the Dallas Cowboys
This weekend in Dallas, one of the most important NFL games of the season will take place. This game, which the Philadelphia Eagles are playing on the road against the Dallas Cowboys, will have a significant impact on the NFC playoff race. With a 10-2 record, the Eagles hold the top seed in the NFC; the Cowboys are one game behind them at 9-3. Dallas is one game back in the NFC East since these two teams are also members of that conference. Shaq Leonard, who selected the Eagles over the Cowboys, will also be playing in his first game with the team this season.

Nick Sirianni and Leonard had a good relationship, and now that Leonard is playing for the Eagles with him,
Shaq Leonard was deciding between the Eagles and Cowboys for his next team after being cut loose by the Indianapolis Colts, and this week couldn’t have been more appropriate to make that decision. He selected Philadelphia, and Dallas will host his debut game.
