The Dallas Cowboys have broken their two-game losing streak with a 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Monday's NFC East matchup. The Cowboys, who were also 2-4 going into the game, were looking to get back on track in a division that appears to be up for grabs. The Eagles, meanwhile, were struggling to find their footing after a 2-0 start to the season.
Quarterback Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense were a key factor in the team's win, with a strong performance from the run game. Javonte Williams had 155 yards on 25 carries, including a 34-yard burst through the Philadelphia defense. Prescott also threw two touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb, who finished the game with 74 yards.
The Cowboys' defense, however, was inconsistent, allowing the Eagles to stay in the game. Philadelphia's offense, led by quarterback Jalen McKee, showed promise, particularly in the early going. Running back Saquon Barkley, who had been out with a hamstring injury, returned to the field and had a 29-yard run on the Eagles' first drive. However, he was limited by a back injury and was seen stretching on the sideline at one point.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading touchdowns. The Eagles took a 21-20 lead in the third quarter, but the Cowboys responded with a touchdown of their own. The Cowboys eventually pulled away in the fourth quarter, with DeMarvion Overshown making an interception to seal the win.
The win improves the Cowboys' record to 3-4, keeping them in the hunt for the NFC East lead. The Eagles, meanwhile, fall to 2-5, with their season on the line.
