Summary

Dak Prescott led the Dallas Cowboys to a decisive 38-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, marking the Eagles' fifth consecutive loss. Prescott completed 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards and threw three touchdown passes, including two to CeeDee Lamb.

Javonte Williams made a significant impact on the ground, rushing for a career-high 155 yards and scoring one touchdown. This win keeps the Cowboys (3-4) in contention for the NFC East title, trailing the New York Giants, who currently lead the division at 4-2-1.

The Eagles (2-5) are facing a tumultuous season, with quarterback Jalen Hurts expected to miss the remainder of the year due to blood clots in his lungs. Backup Tanner McKee struggled to ignite the offense, finishing with 211 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, failing to match Prescott's performance.

Key moments included:

  • Lamb's second touchdown reception, a spectacular 16-yard catch that put the Cowboys ahead 28-21 late in the third quarter, followed by Prescott's two-point conversion run.
  • Brandon Aubrey contributed with field goals of 55, 27, and 24 yards, extending Dallas' lead.
  • Williams sealed the game with a 2-yard touchdown run, achieving the first 150-yard rushing game by a Dallas player since Ezekiel Elliott in 2018.

The Eagles' only highlight came from a lengthy touchdown drive, where McKee connected with rookie Makai Lemon for a 4-yard touchdown, briefly giving them a 21-20 lead. However, McKee's late interception by linebacker DeMarvion Overshown ended any hope of a comeback.

In the opening drive, Dallas scored a field goal, with Philadelphia responding through Saquon Barkley, who returned from injury with a 8-yard touchdown run, ending with 62 yards on the day. Despite his efforts, the Eagles struggled offensively and are quickly running out of time to salvage their season.
