Since 2019, his 17-4 TD-INT ratio when pressured is the best in the NFL.
The Cowboys do apply pressure better than any team in the league, but Minshew has shown he can play well under those circumstances. I consider Minshew to be one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL and has an ideal cast - elite defense, stellar offensive line, and plenty of pass-catching weapons - around him to keep the Eagles afloat in this game. Even with that assumption, we're still going to back the Eagles here with the five points. While we are still not sure whether or not the MVP candidate will play, we're going to assume it'll be Gardner Minshew under center for Philly as we make this pick. The line has shot up following the news that Jalen Hurts may not play due to a shoulder injury he suffered last week.
