Cowboys beat Eagles 38-21 as Philadelphia loses fifth straight game
Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards as Dallas overturned a third-quarter deficit in Philadelphia.
The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Monday, 26 October, handing the Eagles their fifth straight loss, the Guardian reported. Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, and Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards as Dallas improved to 3-4 and Philadelphia fell to 2-5.
The Guardian described it as Philadelphia’s longest losing streak since 2016. Before kickoff, CBS Sports noted that the Eagles had started 2-0 but lost four straight games, with quarterback Jalen Hurts and receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks among those unavailable for the matchup.
How Dallas took control in the third quarter
Philadelphia briefly led 21-20 after Tanner McKee finished a drive lasting almost 10 minutes with a four-yard touchdown pass to rookie Makai Lemon. CeeDee Lamb then caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Prescott late in the third quarter, and Prescott ran in the two-point conversion to put Dallas ahead 28-21. The Eagles did not score again, according to the Guardian.
Prescott finished with 212 passing yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Lamb. His other touchdown pass went 21 yards to George Pickens before half-time. Brandon Aubrey kicked field goals from 55, 27 and 24 yards; Williams added a two-yard touchdown run as Dallas finished with 204 rushing yards.
McKee completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown intercepted him late in the fourth quarter. The Guardian reported that Hurts was expected to miss the rest of the season because of blood clots in his lungs.
Barkley returns as Eagles fall to 2-5
Saquon Barkley returned after missing more than two games with a hamstring injury and scored Philadelphia’s first touchdown on an eight-yard run. He gained 62 yards on seven carries, but visited the sideline medical tent and received treatment for his back during the game, the Guardian reported.
The win left Dallas at 3-4 in the NFC East, where the New York Giants led at 4-2-1, according to the Guardian. Philadelphia’s loss left it three games below .500 after seven games.
