The NFL schedule is finally starting to leak, and for Philadelphia Eagles fans, the news is as sweet as a Thanksgiving dessert. After more than a decade of waiting, the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are set to renew their legendary NFC East rivalry on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 2014.

According to ESPN, the Cowboys will host the Eagles at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox, marking a rare holiday matchup between these two powerhouse teams. The last time they played on Thanksgiving, the Eagles emerged victorious with a commanding 33-10 win in 2014. And if you want to go further back, Philadelphia also beat Dallas 27-0 on Thanksgiving in 1989—meaning the Eagles have a perfect 2-0 record in these holiday showdowns.

Of course, both teams have evolved significantly since those games. The Cowboys are coming off strong seasons, while the Eagles continue to build a roster that can compete at the highest level. But for fans in Philadelphia, the history is a good omen. "History suggests right now that the Eagles should win this game," ESPN noted, though the modern rosters make this a much tougher prediction.

The NFL also announced that the Giants will host the Cowboys on September 13 in the season opener on "Sunday Night Football," continuing a tradition of NFC East battles on prime time. But for Eagles fans, the Thanksgiving game is the one circled on the calendar. It's a chance to enjoy a classic rivalry with a side of turkey, and hopefully, a win that makes the holiday feast taste even better.

While it's a shame the Eagles won't get to host this game at Lincoln Financial Field, the atmosphere in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day will be electric. For a team looking to make a postseason push in Week 12, this could be the defining moment of their season. So grab your Eagles gear, fire up the oven, and get ready for a football feast that's been over a decade in the making.
