Nick Foles has admitted that he is looking forward to playing near his home when the Philadelphia Eagles face the Dallas Cowboys later today.
The Eagles quarterback grew up in Austin, just a few hours from the Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.
The 24-year-old told the team's official website: "This is awesome. What a great environment. These fans are into it, and so are we. We're all really looking forward to the game.
"It's a big moment. We know it. We just continue to prepare every day and we'll be ready for Dallas. It's exciting to be back and we're going to go out there and play our game.
"We feel like we're confident and ready for this spot. Now we have to go out and do it, and play Eagles football, play for each other. That's what we intend to do."
The winner of the meeting will clinch the NFC East title and a place in the playoffs.
