WATCH: Jason Garrett uses Eagles slogan while picking them against Cowboys
Former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett likely made more than a few Dallas fans upset with his prediction for Sunday Night Football. Garrett, now a crew member for NBC’s pregame show Football Night in America, claimed on air that the Eagles would come out the victor against the Cowboys on Sunday night in Philadelphia.
“I never thought I’d say this in my life…Fly Eagles Fly,” Garrett said, employing the use of Philadelphia’s team slogan.

Jason Garrett wasn’t alone in his opinion, as only one of the nine NBC analysts picked the Cowboys to win. However, given his connection to the franchise, his prediction likely stings a bit more than the others.
Sunday’s matchup has huge implications in the NFC East, as Dallas (4-1) could move into first place with a victory against the Eagles (5-0). The Cowboys are on a four-game winning streak since quarterback Cooper Rush took over for an injured Dak Prescott in Week 2.
Garrett served as Dallas’ head coach from 2010-19, leading the team to an 85-67 record in that span. That included 2-3 in postseason games across three playoff appearances. The Cowboys declined to renew his contract when it expired in 2020, as he never led the team past the divisional round.
