"Up 21-0 with 11 minutes left in the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles had both hands on the golden ring. A win over their hated rivals, on the road, that would probably end Dallas' hopes of the playoffs was right there. The Eagles must have figured the game was over. Who could blame them? The only problem? Someone forgot to tell Dallas that the game was over."
"The Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points for the 24-21 victory. Suddenly, now 5-5-1, Dallas is riding a two-game win streak. More importantly, they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. Depending on how the Eagles rebound from this loss, the Cowboys may be back in the hunt for the NFC East title. Meanwhile, Philadelphia literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Sunday. They'll be going through a lot of soul-searching on a week of short rest."
"I'll admit it, when Dallas went down 21-0 and Dak Prescott threw an interception in the endzone on Sunday, I immediately thought back to the 2023 playoff loss to Green Bay. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one to say "Here we go again." Apparently, the Philadelphia Eagles thought the game was over too. Because their offense stopped scoring. And dumb penalties and turnovers kept Dallas in the game."
The Philadelphia Eagles led 21-0 with 11 minutes left in the first half but surrendered a 24-point run and lost 24-21 to the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas scored 24 unanswered points, improving to 5-5-1 and riding a two-game win streak that keeps them alive for a playoff spot and possibly the NFC East title depending on Philadelphia's rebound. Dak Prescott set the franchise passing yards record previously held by Tony Romo and threw the game-tying touchdown after an earlier interception. Philadelphia faces soul-searching on a short week as the NFC East enters a turbulent final six weeks.
