"All was well with the Philadelphia Eagles in the first half of Sunday's game. The defense looked dominant again. The offense, which had struggled in low-scoring wins the past two weeks, was churning again. The Dallas Cowboys' first drive of the game ended on downs. Another stalled with a lost fumble. In the first half, Jalen Hurts was 12-of-17 with two TD runs and a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. Philly led at halftime, 21-7."
"Well, the second half changed things. The defense gave up more and more yards on each drive. The Cowboys got back into the game, then snatched it at the end. Brandon Aubrey's 42-yard field goal as time expired gave the Cowboys a shocking 24-21 win over the Eagles. Dallas won, despite turning over the ball twice and going 0-for-2 on fourth down. The Cowboys hadn't won back-to-back games all year; they hadn't beaten a team with a winning record."
"When Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw an end-zone pick in the second quarter, that could have been one chance to salt it away. Instead the Eagles went backward on a penalty-prolonged three-and-out, and Prescott's 48-yard pass to KaVontae Turpin got Dallas moving on a drive that concluded with their first touchdown. Prescott ended the game with 354 passing yards, and a season high 9.8 yards per pass attempt."
Philadelphia led 21-7 at halftime after a dominant first-half showing. Jalen Hurts was 12-of-17 with two rushing touchdowns and a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. The Cowboys steadily gained yards in the second half as the Eagles defense allowed more on each drive. Brandon Aubrey's 42-yard field goal as time expired gave Dallas a 24-21 victory. Dak Prescott finished with 354 passing yards and a season-high 9.8 yards per attempt. The Eagles committed a season-high 14 penalties and failed to reach the red zone after their first three drives.
