"On Sunday, Hurts' second rushing touchdown put the Eagles up 21-0, again capping off three straight touchdown drives that took full advantage of the Cowboys turning the ball over on downs, going three and out, and fumbling, and it felt like nothing the Eberflus defense could do would matter on a brutal afternoon from AT&T Stadium. Not only was the defense not putting up much resistance to the Eagles' drives, but the offense couldn't get out of it's own way,"
"The anatomy of a comeback was simply not in place deep into a game where an Eagles team that's only given up 16 combined points in their last two wins held a 21-0 lead. The Cowboys would have to tie their largest comeback in franchise history to avoid being swept by the Eagles for the second year in a row, and looked way more interested in committing backbreaking penalties,"
Philadelphia opened both matchups with rapid touchdown drives, including Jalen Hurts' rushing scores that capped three straight touchdown possessions. The Eagles built a 21-0 lead as the Cowboys suffered turnovers on downs, three-and-outs, and a fumble while struggling offensively and committing penalties, drops, and missed opportunities. Deep into the game the Cowboys' comeback seemed unlikely, but the Dallas defense tightened, producing consecutive stops and a second-half shutout. Dallas mounted a dramatic turnaround, overcoming goal-to-go failures and rallying to score 24 unanswered points to win the game 24-21, handing the Eagles their first loss after a 21-point lead since 1999.
