"At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone's surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half."
"There were many reasons for the second-half comeback, and offensive players like Dak Prescott and George Pickens deserve tons of credit for the impressive effort, but there is one main reason the Cowboys were able to win that game: their new-look defense. When they were needed most, Dallas' defense stood tall, earning the unit this week's game ball award. The Cowboys' defense did give up 21 first-half points, but some of that was due to the tough positions they were put in."
At halftime Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0 and faced bleak playoff prospects.

Dallas' defense tightened after halftime and held the Eagles scoreless in the second half. First-half scoring was aided by difficult field positions, including a failed fourth-down attempt at midfield and a roughing-the-punter penalty that extended a drive. Multiple defenders produced pivotal plays, including Sam Williams forcing a turnover.
