NBC Sports' SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL features a classic NFC East showdown this week, when WR Dez Bryant and the Dallas Cowboys host former Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray and the Philadelphia Eagles from AT&T Stadium this Sunday, Nov. 8, at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA - the most-watched weekly studio show in sports - at 7 p.m. ET.

This meeting between the Eagles and Cowboys marks the 110th regular-season game between the division foes. The road team has won the last five games in the rivalry, including the Cowboys' 20-10 win against the Eagles in Week 2 in Philadelphia. The Dallas defense held Murray to just two yards rushing on 13 attempts in their last meeting.

The Cowboys look to bounce back from a 13-12 loss at home to Seattle last week, as Bryant played in his first game since a Week 1 injury. The Eagles had a bye in Week 8 following a 27-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers on SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in Week 7.

Last season, Murray led the NFL with 1,845 rushing yards, and Bryant had a league-high 16 TD receptions to lead Dallas to its first NFC East title in five years.

Calling Eagles-Cowboys are seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his record 30th season as THE VOICE of the NFL's premier primetime package; 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his six seasons in the SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL booth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is led by Emmy Award-winning producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff.

Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports, is hosted by 26-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from AT&T Stadium. Costas will be joined on site by Collinsworth, Tafoya, and two-time SUPER BOWL winner Hines Ward.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC Sports Group's International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn., joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and NFL Insider Peter King.Paul Burmeister will report from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., on the Broncos-Colts game.
