The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Dallas Cowboys in a decisive 41-7 victory, showcasing their offensive prowess and strong defense. Quarterback Tanner McKee threw his first NFL touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, who was instrumental in the Eagles' scoring efforts. The Eagles' running back Saquon Barkley also made history, surpassing 2,000 rushing yards for the season, becoming the ninth player in NFL history to achieve this milestone.
The game saw several ejections due to fighting, including players from both teams, which highlighted the intensity of the rivalry. The Cowboys struggled throughout the game, committing multiple turnovers, including a fumble by Rico Dowdle and an interception by C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Despite a brief moment of hope when Cooper Rush threw a touchdown to Jalen Tolbert, the Cowboys could not keep pace with the Eagles' explosive offense.
Defensively, the Eagles capitalized on the Cowboys' mistakes, with linebacker Nolan Smith forcing a fumble and Gardner-Johnson's interception adding to the Cowboys' woes. The Eagles' offensive line allowed Barkley to run freely, while their defense stifled the Cowboys' attempts to establish a rhythm. As the Eagles secure their playoff positioning, the Cowboys face questions about their future, especially regarding their quarterback situation and coaching staff.
