The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday Night Football in Philadelphia, according to NFL.com and ESPN. Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to CeeDee Lamb. Javonte Williams ran for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. Dallas improved to 3-4. Philadelphia fell to 2-5 and lost its fifth straight game.
Prescott also found George Pickens for a touchdown. Lamb finished with five catches for 74 yards and two scores. Pickens had four catches for 57 yards and a score, NFL.com reported. Brandon Aubrey kicked field goals of 55, 27, and 24 yards. The Cowboys rushed for 204 yards as a team. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown sealed the win with a fourth-quarter interception of Tanner McKee, ESPN reported.
Saquon Barkley returned after missing more than two games with a hamstring injury and scored on an 8-yard run early. He later left in the third quarter with a back injury after limited snaps, NFL.com reported. Eagles starter Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season with blood clots in his lungs, so McKee started and threw for 211 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Philadelphia also played without top receiver DeVonta Smith.
The win keeps Dallas in the NFC East chase behind the New York Giants. The Eagles are in their longest skid since 2016 and have struggled without Hurts. Coach Nick Sirianni said football deals tough hands and asked whether his team can keep fighting. For Dallas, coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Williams's power and acceleration after the ground game had been a weak spot in a 2-4 start.
What we know: Dallas won 38-21 in Philadelphia behind Prescott's three touchdown passes and Williams's career-high 155 rushing yards, while Philadelphia dropped a fifth straight.
What we don't: How long Barkley's back injury will sideline him, or whether McKee remains the Eagles' path forward without Hurts.
