How the game turned
It was tight for three quarters. The Eagles took a 21-20 lead in the third when McKee found Makai Lemon from four yards out. Dallas answered right away: Prescott dropped a 16-yard touch pass to Lamb in the corner of the end zone and then ran in the two-point conversion himself.
From there the Cowboys leaned on the run. Aubrey’s field goal made it 31-21, Overshown picked off McKee in his first game back from a Week 1 hamstring injury, and Williams finished it with a 2-yard score at 2:26.
“Stuck to the run. Had great balance,” Prescott said afterwards. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said of Williams: “the power, the acceleration, it was there tonight.”
Why Tanner McKee started for the Eagles
Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season with blood clots in his lungs, so career backup Tanner McKee is starting. Philadelphia is now 3-6 without Hurts since he became the starter in 2021. Barkley returned after missing more than two games with a hamstring injury, but needed treatment on the sideline. Kick returner Britain Covey hurt his knee in the first quarter, and DeVonta Smith did not play.
What it means for the NFC East
- Cowboys (3-4): The only NFC East team with two division wins. “Our division, we’re in it,” Overshown said.
- Eagles (2-5): Five straight losses, and they have allowed at least 375 yards in every one of them.
- Giants (4-2-1): Still lead the division.
What’s next
- Cowboys: host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
- Eagles: at the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football.
