STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Cowboys are 7-5 vs. Eagles at Linc, including three straight wins in Philly. ... Teams have combined to win 25 of 44 NFC East titles. ... All-Pro RB DeMarco Murray faces former team for first time since joining Eagles after breaking Emmitt Smith's single-season rushing record in Dallas last year. ... Cowboys seek first 2-0 start since 2008 and 10th straight road win. ... Cowboys are 5-1 on Sept. 20. ... QB Tony Romo is 8-6 vs. Eagles. Romo is 76-48 after 124 career starts, same record Hall of Famer Troy Aikman had at that point. ... TE Jason Witten has 133 catches for 1,493 yards and seven TDs vs. Eagles. ... WR Dez Bryant is out after foot surgery. ... K Dan Bailey hasn't missed vs. Eagles. He's made eight field goals and 21 extra points. ... Eagles try to avoid first 0-2 start since 2007. ...

Though he had two TDs in Week 1, Murray shares duties with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles. Mathews also scored in opener and Sproles had more yards rushing than Murray and Mathews combined.
