Prescott, Schotty on improbable win vs. Eagles: ‘We believed’ – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com It wasn’t pretty, yet the Cowboys come from behind win versus the Eagles was beautiful at the same time. “Just take it one play at a time,” said Prescott. “We have to find that unique place that I was talking about — […] Prescott, Schotty on improbable win vs. Eagles: ‘We believed’ – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com It wasn’t pretty, yet the Cowboys come from behind win versus the Eagles was beautiful at the same time. “Just take it one play at a time,” said Prescott. “We have to find that unique place that I was talking about — being down. We’ve had it almost going with every game with that mindset. We have to win every game. With that being said, you can only do that by winning every play and giving it your best every play. When you do that, can stay focused, and finish with elite execution, you’re going to feel confident and good about what you’ve done. “We just have to find that, and it really starts at practice and at these walkthroughs in the next couple of days getting ready for Kansas City. Tons of confidence in this group and team. It starts with our defense. They’re the reason we were able to come back in this game and have a chance to win it. We have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot and this game could’ve been completely different.” Saquon Barkley was held to just 22 rushing yards with no touchdowns, his lowest production since his 2023 season with the New York Giants, and a sequence of forced punts, Williams’ forced fumble, and the late fourth quarter sack by Osa Odighizuwa that took the ball out of Jalen Hurts’ hands for the final time, all played a part in the storybook win over the Eagles, to Prescott’s point. It’s also true he and the offense overcame a slew of their own self-inflicted wounds, similar to the defense’s, to find their groove when it mattered most, punctuated by Pickens and the game-winning boot from All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey who himself, as unthinkable as it might be, missed a 51-yard field goal earlier in the game. Six NFL units that need a wake-up call over final six weeks of 2025 regular season – Jeffri Chadiha, NFL.com The Cowboys are starting to be able to trust their defense a whole lot more. Remember all those jokes that came at the expense of Dallas’ defense? You don’t hear many of those anymore. Sunday’s win over the Eagles said plenty about the state of the Philadelphia offense, but that group didn’t implode all by itself. The Cowboys had to find a way to get crucial stops as that game went on, and that’s exactly what happened. It was crazy to think about that unit having that kind of day in a critical game even a month ago. Now, here Dallas sits at 5-5-1 and thinking legitimately about making a run at a playoff spot. Give owner Jerry Jones credit for rolling the dice on some trade-deadline deals (defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson) to inject new life into this unit. The Cowboys gave up at least 30 points in five of their first eight games and at least 40 twice. They’ve now allowed just 37 points over the last two weeks. Even if you want to dismiss a win over the Raiders a week ago and spotlight an early 21-0 deficit to the Eagles, this still counts as improvement. It’s doubtful the Cowboys rally for a win over Philadelphia if that game was played before the trade deadline. This isn’t to say Dallas has everything figured out. It does mean this team is a lot closer to looking like one you can trust to play meaningful games over the next month and a half. Cowboys injuries: Tyler Guyton (ankle) not expected to play this week – LP Cruz, Blogging The Boys Nate Thomas filled in well again for Tyler Guyton against the Eagles, and may be needed to start against the Chiefs. Bad news coming out of the win. Tyler Guyton suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Eagles that will keep him out for some time. He didn’t participate in practice today and is likely to miss the game against the Chiefs. Also, listed as DNPs today were Osa Odighizuwa (elbow), George Pickens (knee/calf), and KaVontae Turpin (shoulder/illness). Among those limited today were Jadeveon Clowney (neck), Dante Fowler (shoulder), Malik Hooker (toe/thigh), and Donovan Wilson (neck). However, Tyler Smith (knee) and Solomon Thomas (calf) were full participants today. Jerry Jones puts spotlight on defense after Cowboys save their season vs. Eagles – Luke Norris, The Landry Hat The Cowboys played great defense when it mattered most in both games against the Eagles this season, and it was good enough for a landmark home win on Sunday. Jerry Jones went out of his way to praise Cowboys’ defense after win over Eagles “When we got into this game tonight, and I saw us making the kinds of mistakes we were making, then certainly that was a down time,” Jones said. “The players on the field didn’t let it be a down time, I’ll tell you that. And that defense; I can’t say enough about it. They rose to the occasion. They’re playing with each other. They’re doing for each other, which is what you have to do on defense.” The Cowboys’ run defense undoubtedly stood out (you know Jones has to love that), as they held Saquon Barkley to a season-low 22 yards and also forced his first fumble of the season. Overall, Dallas surrendered just 63 yards on the ground, marking the second-lowest total of the year behind only the 27 mentioned above in last week’s win over the Raiders. The Cowboys only sacked Jalen Hurts one time, but that sack couldn’t have come at a better time. With the game tied at

There’s been plenty of debate around here about how the Dallas Cowboys should approach the remainder of their 2025 season. That’s only normal when you go into a Week 10 bye with a losing record. But now back at .500 after two post-bye wins, and especially given Sunday’s shocker over the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas’ sudden […] There’s been plenty of debate around here about how the Dallas Cowboys should approach the remainder of their 2025 season. That’s only normal when you go into a Week 10 bye with a losing record. But now back at .500 after two post-bye wins, and especially given Sunday’s shocker over the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas’ sudden surge is shifting the conversation. When you’re sitting at 3-5-1, the idea of winning out in the second half of the year sounds ridiculous. It looks especially unreasonable when you see a stretch of potentially playoff-bound teams like the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and Chargers coming. Logic says that if you’re capable of running that gauntlet, you wouldn’t have a losing record. The Cowboys have been an enigma all year; a league-leading offense handicapped by an all-time atrocious defense. While the offense has had a few no-shows itself, a solvent defense would’ve likely flipped the outcome on at least a few games. The tie with Green Bay, plus narrow losses to Carolina and Philly in Week 1, had a strong chance of being wins. Even if you only get two of those, the mood around a 6-3, 5-4, or even 4-4-1 record at the bye would’ve been different. The x-factor here, which most teams don’t have in the middle of a season, was the sudden influx of talent at the break. The downtrodden defense suddenly got an elite addition in DT Quinnen Williams, plus LB Logan Wilson, and the returns from injury of DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel. Coordinator Matt Eberflus got an extra week to work with his fresh faces during the bye, and a soft opponent out of the second-half gate in Las Vegas. The Raiders’ dilapidated offensive line was a good teething ring for a hopefully reborn Dallas defense. But even after that win, many Cowboys fans held their ground in a sense of futility. Dallas still had a losing record in a tough NFC, the tenth team in a race for just seven playoff spots. That tough slate of opponents, with Philly leading the pack, felt like the unavoidable end to whatever hopes endured. No team, not even the Patriots or Rams, has clinched a playoff spot yet. The Cowboys certainly aren’t in a position to do that soon, or perhaps even before Week 18. But what they can do, which they have for two games in a row since their bye, is win. 11-5-1 is still on the table. And suddenly, thanks to this victory over the Eagles, it sounds a little less crazy than it did two weeks ago. Suddenly the Chiefs, only 6-5 and having to deal with the short Thanksgiving week as the road team, don’t seem quite so scary. The Lions, who just needed overtime and a Superman performance from Jahmyr Gibbs to put down the Giants’ backups, feel more manageable. We’re not predicting wins here, but just stating that the losses don’t seem quite so inevitable anymore. Granted, there are plenty of reasons to keep doubting. Dallas has a way of accomplishing things against its NFC East rivals that they can’t often replicate outside of the division. This first-year head coach can still make big blunders, a couple of which the Cowboys had to overcome in the last game. Dak Prescott has a 10-year history of following up heroics with harrowing performances. And while this defense may have finally figured some things out, opponents now have more tape to see how to deal with Quinnen Williams and other new wrinkles. At the very least, these Cowboys didn’t throw in the towel at the halfway point of the season. They didn’t give up when 21-0 felt like just another brutal 2025 letdown. If they can pair that determination with the ability to finally play some complementary football, then there’s a realistic shot at winning any game left on their schedule. Yes, to actually make the NFC playoffs, Dallas must win nearly every remaining game. But the next six wouldn’t matter if they hadn’t handled their business in the last two. That’s all the Cowboys can do right now: beat the team in front of them each week. Keep doing that, and this hope train just might actually reach the station. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

The Dallas Cowboys impressed a lot of people on Sunday with their comeback win against the Philadelphia Eagles and one of them knows a thing or two about big-time football.

The great DeMarcus Ware enjoyed Sunday’s heroism from the home team and on some level likely wished that he was out there with a new-look Cowboys defense. D-Ware was kind enough to stop by Blogging The Boys this week to discuss a variety of things, but one of the things we talked about had to do with the current state of the team. When I asked DeMarcus what current players on the team he would love to share a locker room with he noted that it would be Dak Prescott on offense, but he perked up when talking about Quinnen Williams as the player on defense. He said that he and Quinnen have even talked about Williams playing for Dallas before so that it has happened is pretty neat. You can watch our conversation below. DeMarcus is teaming up with Crown Royal, the official whisky partner of the NFL, as the Crown Royal Rig heads to Dallas ahead of Cowboys-Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day (Thurs. Nov. 27). In partnership with the North Texas Food Bank, Crown Royal and DeMarcus are encouraging fans to bring non-perishable food items to help the brand reach its goal of donating 10,000 meals to families in need this holiday season. They are asking fans to help them spread generosity this Thanksgiving by visiting the Crown Royal Rig in Lot 3 at AT&T Stadium on game day with non-perishable items that will go directly to local families in need. Fans can also tailgate with DeMarcus, enjoy Crown Royal cocktails and even get the chance to upgrade their game day tickets courtesy of the Royal Seat. Imagining a defense with Quinnen Williams and DeMarcus Ware is certainly a lot of fun and something that would terrorize opposing offenses in the best way. It is easy to see why DeMarcus would go there. Our thanks to DeMarcus and to Crown Royal for the time. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

What an epic finish in another chapter of a historic rivalry. The Dallas Cowboys overcame a 21-0 deficit at home over the Philadelphia Eagles. With the win, Dallas may have saved their season.

The Dallas Cowboys overcame a 21-0 deficit at home over the Philadelphia Eagles. With the win, Dallas may have saved their season. Yet, there’s no time to savor the sweet taste of victory over the Eagles as the Cowboys face the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. After today’s walk-through, here’s where the Cowboys are regarding injuries. Bad news coming out of the win. Tyler Guyton suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Eagles that will keep him out for some time. He didn’t participate in practice today and is likely to miss the game against the Chiefs. Also, listed as DNPs today were Osa Odighizuwa (elbow), George Pickens (knee/calf), and KaVontae Turpin (shoulder/illness). Among those limited today were Jadeveon Clowney (neck), Dante Fowler (shoulder), Malik Hooker (toe/thigh), and Donovan Wilson (neck). However, Tyler Smith (knee) and Solomon Thomas (calf) were full participants today. For the Chiefs, guard Trey Smith (ankle) did not practice today, nursing an ankle injury of his own that is expected to keep him out for Thursday’s game as well. Smith was elected to the Pro Bowl last season; therefore, his absence would be a big blow to Kansas City. Also, running back Isaiah Pacheco (knee) and Patrick Mahomes (groin) were full participants today. Receivers Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Xavier Worthy (ankle) were limited on Monday. Lastly, tight end Noah Gray (concussion) did not practice after sustaining an injury on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. See More: Dallas Cowboys Injuries

At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone’s surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug […] At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone’s surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half. Dallas tied the largest comeback in franchise history, scoring 24 unanswered points in a win that will live on in Cowboys’ lore forever. There were many reasons for the second-half comeback, and offensive players like Dak Prescott and George Pickens deserve tons of credit for the impressive effort, but there is one main reason the Cowboys were able to win that game: their new-look defense. When they were needed most, Dallas’ defense stood tall, earning the unit this week’s game ball award. The Cowboys’ defense did give up 21 first-half points, but some of that was due to the tough positions they were put in. On the first offensive drive of the game, Dallas went for it at the 50-yard line and failed to convert, giving the talented Eagles’ offense the ball at midfield to start their afternoon. On Philadelphia’s second offensive possession, Dallas’ defense forced a three-and-out, but a botched roughing the punter penalty on Ryan Flournoy extended the drive and led to another touchdown. Coming out of halftime, the Eagles knew that if they could score just one offensive touchdown in the second half, the Cowboys would have a hard time making it a competitive game. Dallas’ defense was up to the tall task, putting together a dominating second-half performance and holding the Eagles scoreless. Below are how all six of the Eagles’ second-half drives ended. Punt Punt Punt Missed FG Fumble Punt Multiple Cowboys defenders came up huge in the third and fourth quarters of this pivotal matchup. Sam Williams, who has had a very rough season up to this point, made one of the plays of the game, forcing a Saquon Barkley fumble when the Eagles were driving late in the fourth quarter. Just a few minutes later, after Dallas’ offense failed to take advantage of a first-and-goal opportunity, Osa Odighizuwa came through when the Cowboys needed him most, recording a third-down sack that led to Dallas’ offense getting the ball back and converting the game-winning field goal. On that Odighizuwa sack, DaRon Bland, who had one of his best performances of the season, had lockdown coverage on Eagles’ wide receiver A.J. Brown, forcing Jalen Hurts to hold the ball and ultimately take the sack. Dallas’ secondary as a whole played their butts off as Sunday’s game wore on, and the unit did not allow a single explosive passing play in the final two quarters. The tests are only going to get harder from here, but if this Cowboys team can play with the kind of energy and spirit they did in the second half of Sunday’s matchup, who’s to say they can’t defy the odds and make an improbable postseason run?

The Dallas Cowboys had no business winning on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles. But they did. It was wonderful.

The second half was an uphill climb, to say the least, and carried what life […] The Dallas Cowboys had no business winning on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles. But they did. It was wonderful. At one point, almost in the blink of an eye, the Cowboys were down 21-0 and all hope seemed lost. The second half was an uphill climb, to say the least, and carried what life remains for this season given that Dallas was 4-5-1 at the time. Falling to 4-6-1 would have put an end to even the most optimistic playoff conversations. Our dreams can live another week though as the Cowboys are an even-steven .500 with the Kansas City Chiefs joining them for a Thanksgiving Day clash. That will be here before we know it, but before it gets here we need to fully place what we just saw into its proper perspective. Here is our Stock Report following Sunday afternoon’s wonderful game of football. Stock Up: Quinnen Williams Given that the defense helped start and maintain the rally for the Cowboys it feels fair to begin here and we start with their new frontman in Quinnen Williams. He sure is amazing, isn’t he? Williams had eight quarterback pressures in this game which was tied for the most he has ever had in a game. Think about that. He has only played two games for the Cowboys and has been a force in each one. It is awesome. Stock Up: Sam Williams The Cowboys did not wind up doing anything with the ball after they recovered Saquon Barkley’s fumble, but causing it was significant in that it derailed the Eagles from getting points. Williams had a textbook force out and deserves a lot of credit for doing so. It has hardly been an easy season for Williams as he has had moments that were questionable to say the least, but the win on Sunday could not have happened without his efforts. Stock Up: Alijah Clark Coaches love players who hustle and show up on special teams because they typically have a lot of heart. This was completely true for Alijah Clark on Sunday afternoon. Near the end of the game things were still hanging in the balance and he was running down on the punt. He dealt with all sorts of traffic along the way and got pushed around quite a bit. He ultimately still powered through enough to force another fumble that Dallas was unable to capitalize on (this game was weird!). Still, his heroics were incredible and he deserves love. Stock Up: Trent Sieg How often is it that a long-snapper recovers a fumble? I don’t even know how to look that up, but I believe that Trent Sieg deserves a lot of credit for giving the Cowboys a huge chance to win by doing so (again, they did not score on the possession but that is besides the point). Hustling is important. The last few players we have listed here have made and led the stock up section because of that heart. This is about a team-wide disposition and culture and these players exemplify it. Stock Up: Dak Prescott Let’s be clear and fair in noting that the Cowboys offense did not start off strong. You don’t fall into a 21-0 hole because you are playing well. Prescott even threw an interception at which point the Eagles carried a 96% win probability (seriously). It looked over and like him passing Tony Romo to become the Cowboys’ all-time passer would be a hollow achievement on an otherwise embarrassing day. But like his predecessor, Prescott rallied and played until the clocks showed triple zeros. He was remarkable down the stretch and even looked like his vintage self with an incredible rushing touchdown. Stock Up: George Pickens It is unreal to continually be talking about what a player George Pickens is. It should not be possible for him to continue to top his own performances. Yet here we are. Pickens looks like the most dynamic receiver that the Cowboys have had in some time. He is clutch and reliable and consistent and dazzling and effortless and physical and all of these things all of the time. There is zero doubt that he was the catalyst for the offense’s resurgence. Now get an extension done! Stock Up: Nate Thomas Tyler Guyton left the game and that meant the Cowboys had to deal with a reserve left tackle. That is never easy to do. But Nate Thomas picked up the mantle and made things look easy. He was consistent as the rally marched on and ultimately succeeded. Guyton was having a bit of a shaky game and so Thomas coming in to play moderately well, let alone very well, was a needed boost when matters were dire. Stock Up: Matt Eberflus It isn’t a secret that the Eagles offense is floundering at the moment and that was certainly part of the specific recipe that made this game what it was. We needn’t take credit away from what the Cowboys did, though. We are once again acknowledging that the team fell down 21-0 which means things were tough early on, but consider that Dallas held the Eagles without points on their final seven possessions of the game (not counting the end of half one). What’s more is that of these seven possessions, only twice did the Eagles even cross midfield. The defense locked in and Matt Eberflus deserves some “maybe getting legitimate players back is helping him and why things were so bad early on” energy around his name. Stock Up: Brian Schottenheimer Let’s be clear that some of the offensive decisions can be suspect at times (maybe run the ball in the redzone when

The Dallas Cowboys did it! We didn’t think they could do it, but they did it! In a game that went from excruciatingly painful to unbelievably exciting, the Cowboys pulled off the unthinkable, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. It was a crazy game that looked hopeless at first, but to the surprise of many, the […] The Dallas Cowboys did it! We didn’t think they could do it, but they did it! In a game that went from excruciatingly painful to unbelievably exciting, the Cowboys pulled off the unthinkable, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. It was a crazy game that looked hopeless at first, but to the surprise of many, the resilience of the Cowboys went to a whole new level. Brian Schottenheimer came away with his biggest win to date and kept the Cowboys’ playoff hopes alive. Here are ten thoughts on the wild Cowboys comeback. 1. What a horrible start One couldn’t have scripted a worse start if they tried. The Cowboys’ offense got the ball to start the game, moved the ball to the 50-yard line, and then turned the ball over on downs. On their next possession, the offense went three-and-out. And then on their third possession, they appeared to be moving the ball, but coughed the ball up when KaVontae Turpin tripped and ran into the legs of his offensive lineman. In each of those instances, the Eagles took the ball and drove down the field and scored a touchdown. Just like that, it was 21-0. And if that wasn’t enough, the Cowboys’ offense took the ensuing drive all the way down to the one-yard line before Dak Prescott was picked off in the end zone. What was this mess we were watching? Football is stupid! 2. The no challenge On the Eagles’ second possession of the game, it looked like they were going to go three-and-out after the Cowboys’ defense made the stop, but unfortunately, the Eagles got a fresh set of downs after the Cowboys were called for roughing the kicker. Ryan Flournoy pleaded to anyone who would listen on the sideline that he had gotten a piece of the ball, which would have negated a penalty, but the coaches wouldn’t listen. They didn’t throw the challenge flag, nor did they call a timeout to give them a better chance to look at it. When the game came back from commercial, the broadcast team showed a slo-mo replay clearly showing that Flournoy was telling the truth. The Cowboys botched a chance to retain possession of the ball by not challenging the play. 3. A comedy of errors Things went so bad in the first half that it almost drove us to hysteria. And each time you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did. Let’s recap… Turnover on downs on the opening drive Roughing the kicker penalty, no challenge, new set of downs Lining up offsides, another chance to convert (and they did) Turpin trips and fumbles the ball 1st-and-goal at the one-yard line, false start, Dak intercepted in the end zone, no points All of this led to 21 points for the Eagles and no points for the Cowboys. 4. Defense came through It’s so weird to say this, but the Cowboys’ defense was the hero in this game. After falling behind 21-0, it looked all but over for the Cowboys, but as the game progressed, more and more life crept back in thanks to the defense. After allowing three touchdowns on their first three possessions of the game, the defense hunkered down and didn’t allow any more points. In the process, they forced the Eagles to punt four times, forced two fumbles, and kept Philly from getting too deep into Cowboys’ territory, resulting in a Jake Elliott field goal attempt to go wide right. With 11:32 left in the second quarter, the Eagles wouldn’t score again, and it paved the way for the Cowboys to do the impossible. 5. 24 unanswered It took them a while, but the Cowboys’ offense finally decided to show up to the party. The team got their first points with 21 seconds left in the first half after putting together a nice six-play, 72-yard touchdown drive, capped off with a one-yard reception by George Pickens. The offense failed to score on their next two possessions, but made up for it by scoring touchdowns on their next two subsequent possessions. Both drives were assisted with big 40+ pass plays, first to CeeDee Lamb, then to Pickens. Add on the Brandon Aubrey game-winning field goal, and that’s 24 unanswered points by the Cowboys. 6. The Cowboys can stop the run The Cowboys’ incredible defensive stand was made possible by forcing the Eagles’ offense to become one-dimensional. The Eagles had no success running the ball as the Cowboys’ defense held Saquon Barkley to just 22 yards on 10 carries (2.2 ypc). This is Barkley’s lowest rushing total as a member of the Eagles. This comes a week after the Cowboys held rookie Ashton Jeanty to his career low of seven yards. Call it Quinnencidence, but suddenly this Cowboys’ defense can stop the run. The Cowboys had a terrible start to the game. They turned the ball over twice, missed a field goal, and fell behind 21-0. Weirdly enough, the Eagles endured the same misfortunes in the second half. They turned the ball over twice, missed a field goal, and allowed the Cowboys to go on a 21-0 run of their own. It was essentially a tale of two halves as all the zany misfortunes that fell upon the Cowboys early in the game abruptly changed and made their way to Philly. 8. Another red zone let down While the Cowboys managed to finish the fight and complete this crazy comeback, there was a moment late in the game when they made us second-guess their intentions. The momentum of the game took a huge turn after Alijah Clark and Markquese Bell popped Eagles’ punt returner Xavier Gipson, causing the

I can’t say it enough, and Dak […] Cowboys pull off a 2nd half miracle, beat Eagles 24-21- Shane Taylor, Inside The Star Dallas completes the comeback behind Pickens, Dak, and the defense. Second Half Miracle Let me first start by saying the defense deserves some flowers for the way they performed in the second half. I can’t say it enough, and Dak Prescott showed up time and time again when he needed to! The defense was able to keep the Cowboys in the game from the start of the third quarter. This Eagles defense the last two games had given up a total of 16 points to the Packers and the Lions, so this was maybe the best defense the Cowboys have played all year, yet they scored 21 unanswered to tie the game. Dak found Brevyn Spann-Ford to make it 21-14, and then Goerge Pickens made a sensational catch to set up the Cowboys for a Dak Prescott rushing touchdown to tie the game at 21. Could the defense make one more stop? The Eagles had to punt after a huge sack from Osa Odighizuwa, giving the ball back to Dallas, and Dak Prescott delivered with the game on the line in the second half. After connecting with George Pickens on 2nd and 10 with under a minute to play, for 24 yards, it lined up the best in the game for the game winner. Brandon Aubury ended a crazy game 24-21. Don’t forget these 5: Osa’s late sack on Hurts – Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com These five plays shaped Dallas’ comeback. Williams forced fumble – With the game tied, 21-21, the Eagles were driving for a field goal or possibly a touchdown when Sam Williams caught Saquon Barkley from behind and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Kenneth Murray. That play stopped the drive and put the Cowboys in the driver’s seat to win. Odighizuwa sack on third down – The game was hanging in the balance on third-and-2 at the 2:00 warning, but Osa Odighizuwa sacked Jalen Hurts, giving the ball back to the Cowboys. From there, Jake Ferguson and George Pickens had big catches to lead the offense down for Brandon Aubrey’s game-winner. Epic. Comeback. Cowboys escape 21-point hole to stun Eagles in Week 12 – K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire Dallas gets its second straight win in walk-off fashion. The defense, which has undergone a serious personnel transformation over the last few weeks with trades and returning injured players, kept the Eagles from scoring on their final eight possessions. Dak Prescott and the offense fought and fought and fought, themselves mostly, but somehow scored 24 straight points including a game-winning, 42-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey. Somehow, despite wasting two goal-to-go situations, the Cowboys won 24-21 to improve to 5-5-1 on the season. Dallas did so despite CeeDee Lamb having one of the worst performances of his career, dropping multiple passes, including a short touchdown that likely would’ve won the game late in the fourth quarter. Fortunately, George Pickens had yet another phenomenal game, catching all nine of his targets for 146 yards and a score. Second-year tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford also caught a TD, his first of his career, and Prescott scrambled and tumbled into the end zone for his own score. Meanwhile, Dallas’ defense put the clamps on TB Saquon Barkley, holding him to 22 yards on 10 carries and helping to make the Eagles one dimensional. With a big lead, Philly would’ve loved to lean on the running game to shorten the contest, but they were unable to; wasting the big passing day from Hurts. 4 winners & 3 losers from Dallas Cowboys unexpected win vs. Eagles in Week 12 – Randy Gurzi, Sports Illustrated Dallas Cowboys’ playoff chances remain a winner, but it wasn’t all pretty. Winner: Osa Odighizuwa, DT Defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa is benefitting from the attention Quinnen Williams commands. With more one-on-one opportunities, Odighizuwa is thriving. That was the case on Sunday as he had four tackles and sacked Jalen Hurts on a late third-down. That play forced a punt that led to the game-winning drive. Dallas might not have won this one if not for the constant pressure and clutch play provided by No. 97. Loser: CeeDee Lamb While George Pickens went off in this one, CeeDee Lamb went in the opposite direction. Lamb, who had four drops in their loss to the Eagles in Week 1, had three more in this one. None was more detrimental than his third-and-goal drop in the end zone. Dallas went for it on the ensuing fourth down, but fell just short. Still, they shouldn’t have needed that attempt had Lamb hauled in the pass on the previous play. Terry Bradshaw echoed every Cowboys fan’s thoughts after comeback win over Eagles- Ryan Heckman, The Landry Hat Dallas needs to continue to show up if there is hope remaining in the 2025 season. NFL legend and Fox Sports analyst Terry Bradshaw knows it. Following the game, Bradshaw stated the obvious (and what every Cowboys fan was thinking quickly after the win), “I said they needed a signature win. And now, they’ve got their signature win against the defending world champions. Now, don’t waste it,” he said on the broadcast. The Cowboys can’t afford to enjoy this win over the Eagles for too long At 5-5-1 on the season, the Cowboys still have a lot of work to do if they’re going to try and sneak into the playoffs. In all likelihood, Dallas is not going to win the division. That’s a near impossibility. But, in order to get into a wild card spot, the Cowboys have to get some wins over tough opponents

For the first time this season, the Dallas Cowboys have finally stacked a couple of back-to-back wins together with the 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon. Nothing about this game was pretty, which is to be expected from two bitter division rivals.

Nothing about this game was pretty, which is to be expected from two bitter division rivals. Both teams played hard to the final whistle, but it was Dallas who eventually emerged victorious. This Week 12 matchup was a roller coaster of emotions from start to end. The Cowboys looked as if they were playing to lose early on, but clawed their way back in the second half. As you can probably imagine, there was quite a bit of good, bad, and ugly to go around. THE GOOD – WR George Pickens Do the Dallas Cowboys have a new No. 1 wide receiver? George Pickens may not carry the title of Dallas’s top WR, but he is definitely playing at that level here recently. Last week against the Raiders he caught nine passes for 144 yards and a touchdown only to follow it up this week with another nine catch outing for 146 yards and a touchdown. The connection between he and Dak Prescott on the field is paying off in a big way, and it’s been the difference maker in the Cowboys ability to win back to back games for the first time this season. The Cowboys were in serious trouble early in the second quarter. They had been self-destructing up until that point, and they even did some more self-destructing later. But then the Dallas defense suddenly came alive. The Eagles scored with 11:32 remaining in the second quarter to go up 21-0. Those were the last points they scored in the game. The Cowboys defense pitched a shutout the rest of the way to create room for the Cowboys comeback. THE UGLY – CeeDee Lamb’s drops CeeDee Lamb wasn’t quite his self Sunday afternoon. The stat line will show he called four passes for 75 yards, but he dropped just as many as the ended up catching in this Week 12 matchup with the Eagles. The biggest one he dropped in the end zone on fourth down that probably would’ve secured the victory for the Cowboys late in the fourth quarter. Luckily, it didn’t end up costing them the game. The occasional drop is to be expected, but several in one game by someone who was supposed to be one the best in the league is definitely concerning. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster
