"The offense quits doing what it had been doing those first 19 minutes. It also doesn't help when said offense, the defense, and even the special teams units start making dumb plays. Big gains getting wiped out by penalty. Turnovers wiped out by penalty. Your star running back, Saquon Barkley, fumbling the ball. Then there is your punt returner fielding a punt at the two-yard line and promptly fumbling it at the 12 with the score tied at 21."
"The last screw-up was saved by Dallas somehow failing to even so much as score a field goal from 12 yards out. Given Dak Prescott had thrown an interception in the endzone earlier, that would have been a huge talking point if the game had ended in a loss. Fortunately, it won't be. Especially with his 8-yard touchdown run to tie the game."
The Eagles scored 21 points in the first 19 minutes while holding the opponent scoreless for the first 29 minutes. The Eagles' offense, defense, and special teams then began making costly mistakes: big gains and turnovers were wiped out by penalties, Saquon Barkley fumbled, and a punt returner fielded a kick at the two-yard line and fumbled at the 12 with the score tied 21-21. Dallas capitalized on the miscues, survived a missed 12-yard field goal, and benefited from Dak Prescott's 8-yard touchdown run to tie the game. George Pickens emerged as the Cowboys' top receiver, totaling nine catches on nine targets for 146 yards and a crucial touchdown.
