The Dallas Cowboys will welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to AT&T Stadium in Week 12, and new defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is getting his first taste of the NFC East rivalry.

But more than that, Williams has yet to go against the infamous "tush push" that has created so much controversy, and you can bet your house that on Sunday, Jalen Hurts and Co. Will be running that play a couple of times.

Essentially unstoppable in short-yardage situations, the Eagles have perfected the play to the point where there is nearly no point in trying to stop it.

But for Quinnen, he has faith in the Cowboys' coaching staff that they will come up with a plan to stop it on Sunday.

"It's a cool play that the Eagles do, on second-and-short or third-and-short or fourth-and-short,” Williams said. “I never been against it. We have a great plan. I know we got a good game plan to be able to stop it and things like that.”

Cowboys face must-win vs. Eagles

At home, the Cowboys will fancy their chances against the 8-2 Eagles, with Dak Prescott always matching up well against the defense, and in Week 1, could be considered unlucky not to beat the Eagles in their own stadium.

But now at 4-5-1, the margin for error is gone, and the Cowboys, who face a tough three-game stretch, have to start collecting wins, and it starts on Sunday.

It won't be easy with the Eagles' defense playing at an elite level, and the offense doing just enough to win football games, but Brian Schottenheimer's team knows that it's gut-check time if they are to make a playoff run.

An NFC East showdown, at home, with the season on the line.
