The Dallas Cowboys (4-5-1) are coming off their most complete win of the season, knocking off the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16. It's no coincidence that this was also the first game with Quinnen Williams on the roster.

Dallas also had multiple players who returned from injury, including linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. Now entering a Week 12 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, they're still relatively healthy with only two players on their injury report.
