Dallas rallied in the second half to beat Philadelphia 38-21, improving to 3-4 while the Eagles fell to 2-5.
Dallas secured a 38-21 victory over Philadelphia on Monday Night Football, moving to 3-4 on the season while the Eagles dropped to 2-5. The Cowboys built a 31-21 lead late in the fourth quarter after a DeMarvion Overshown interception set up a Javonte Williams touchdown with just over two minutes remaining.
Dak Prescott threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns, completing 12 of 21 passes. CeeDee Lamb contributed a receiving touchdown, and the Cowboys converted a two-point attempt on a designed run by Prescott. Javonte Williams recorded a career-high 155 rushing yards.
Philadelphia’s backup quarterback Tanner McKee completed 7 of 9 passes for 60 yards and threw a touchdown to Makai Lemon, marking Lemon’s first career score. Saquon Barkley returned after a three-week absence, adding a rushing touchdown, but the Eagles were limited to 21 points.
Both teams combined for 275 total yards for Dallas and 154 for Philadelphia. The Cowboys outgained the Eagles on third down (4-7 to 1-4) and held a time-of-possession advantage of 17:14 to 14:21.
"We’ve been able to execute in the second half and finish the game," Prescott said after the win.
"Our defense made a key play with the interception, and that gave us the momentum we needed," Cowboys defensive coordinator added.
The win extended Dallas’s streak of Monday night road victories to six, while Philadelphia’s four-game home winning streak against the Cowboys remained intact despite the loss.
