Romo's decision making: The Cowboys have lost two of their past three games and in both defeats, Romo committed crucial turnovers. He threw an interception vs. Pittsburgh that was returned for the winning touchdown and had two damaging picks in last Saturday's loss to the Ravens. He also gave Philadelphia a touchdown with a fumble in the end zone earlier this season, which nearly cost Dallas that game.

DeSean's response:Eagles rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson came close to scoring his first touchdown in Week 2 against the Cowboys, but prematurely threw the ball up in celebration prior to crossing the goal line. Last week, he had two crucial drops vs. the Redskins. The pressure will be on to come through this time around.
Ware's chase:Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware needs three sacks to top Michael Strahan's 22.5 for the NFL single-season sack record. He has recorded three sacks on three occasions this season and at least one sack in six straight games vs. the Eagles.
