Sloppy play, lack of focus from star players, and some big, controversial calls from the referees to boot. By the time Jalen Hurts got pushed by his tush to score his third touchdown on the day and put the Eagles up 21-0, just about every fan was checking out. It didn’t matter that the game was only 28 seconds into the second quarter, Cowboys fans had seen enough: this was over. The players didn’t get the memo. Philadelphia went up 21-0 early in the second quarter, and the way they got there can best be described as a comedy of errors. Dallas started with the ball and ultimately turned it over on downs right at midfield. AJ Brown caught a touchdown bomb just seven plays later, scoring on the short field. A Dallas three-and-out was quickly matched by the Eagles, who came up short on third and long. But Dallas was flagged for roughing the punter, gifting the Eagles a first down, even though the replay review showed that Ryan Flournoy – who had been charging on a block attempt – tipped the ball before making contact with the punter. That would’ve negated the penalty had the officials caught it, but penalties are not eligible for reviews, and thus the Cowboys were dinged by the referees’ error. A few plays later, an offsides penalty for Jadeveon Clowney erased another third-down stop, and Hurts ran in for a score just a few plays later. After that, the Cowboys started mounting a drive for the first time all day. Tragedy seemed to strike when CeeDee Lamb fumbled the ball, but the replay confirmed he was down by contact first. Tragedy remained, though, as KaVontae Turpin fumbled on the very next play, leading to the tush push touchdown. But the Cowboys kept fighting. Dak Prescott found Jake Ferguson on an early third down to move the chains, and when Ferguson drew a false start on the very next play, Prescott hit George Pickens twice to move the chains again and overcome the penalty. A big play to Pickens was followed by a big play to Ferguson, which set Dallas up at the 1-yard line. But a false start backed them up five and then Prescott got picked in the endzone while trying to hit Lamb. Any momentum they had built on that drive evaporated quicker than it had formed. But the Cowboys kept fighting. The Eagles punted just three plays – and -2 yards – later. Turpin then took a quick curl route and turned it into a 48-yard gain, completely flipping the field. A few plays later, Tyler Guyton was flagged for tripping, making it first and 25. It didn’t deter Prescott, who hit Lamb and then Ferguson for 27 total yards and a first down before finding Pickens in the endzone. With just 21 seconds left in the first half, Philadelphia opted to take a knee and go into halftime with a 21-7 lead that felt much larger than that. But the Cowboys had seen enough: they knew the door was wide open. And in the second half, they stepped right through that door. The defense came out with their hair on fire, forcing a punt on the Eagles’ first three drives of the second half. Two of them went three-and-out. The Cowboys offense couldn’t take advantage, punting on their first drive and then missing a 51-yard field goal on the second. The more time that ticked off the clock, the more it felt like one more touchdown for the Eagles would seal the deal. But the Cowboys kept fighting. Lamb, who had an otherwise very forgettable night plagued by drops yet again, helped turn the tide. On third down, he had a favorable matchup deep down the field against Cooper DeJean. Prescott launched it to him, a flag flew for pass interference, and Lamb came up with the catch anyway for a 48-yard bomb. Two plays later, Prescott found Brevyn Spann-Ford in the corner of the endzone for a touchdown. And just like that, the Cowboys were down by one score with two minutes to go in the third quarter. That seemed to wake up the Eagles, as they moved the ball down the field on the ensuing drive, but consecutive penalties backed them 15 yards and ultimately led to a field goal. And, to everyone’s shock, Jake Elliott missed the 56-yard kick. The Cowboys offense took the field at their own 46 with a golden opportunity to tie things up early in the fourth quarter. Prescott seemed impatient and launched it downfield to Pickens, who did what he’s done all year and made a jaw-dropping sideline catch. That 43-yard gain set the Cowboys up at the Philadelphia 11, and Prescott went somersaulting into the endzone just two plays later to tie the game. The Cowboys were as cooked as a Thanksgiving turkey with 11 minutes left in the second quarter, but with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter, they were all tied up. From there, things got truly wacky. A promising Eagles drive ended with Saquon Barkley’s first fumble of the year in Dallas territory. Then a holding call led to the Cowboys punting the ball away, but rookie Alijah Clark jarred the ball loose on the return and long snapper Trent Sieg recovered it inside the 10-yard line. Javonte Williams ran the ball to teh two-yard line. Prescott tried a roll-out pass but had to eventually run and got stopped just shy of paydirt, and then Prescott dropped the ball right into Lamb’s breadbasket for a should-have-been touchdown, but Lamb failed to secure

Third Quarter The Eagles began the second half with the ball and went three and out which set the Cowboys up for a chance to really make things interesting. While the Cowboys wounded up punting the ball themselves they did not do so before Dak Prescott became the franchise’s all-time passing leader. Congratulations to him. […] The Dallas Cowboys pulled off an all-time win on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. After falling down 21-0 everything seemed grim. The Thanksgiving conversations we are all destined for were already annoying. How could the Cowboys come out so flat against the Eagles? Maybe the reason to come out flat was to set the stage for the ultimate second act. It was a total team effort as the Cowboys defense led the way, the offense did their part, and the special teams came up with clutch moments to tie it all together. It all came on the day that Dak Prescott became the franchise’s all-time passing leader which added to the lore that the day will hold. The Cowboys officially went undefeated at home in 2025 against division rivals and got back to .500 on the season with a 5-5-1 record. Playoff hopes remain faint, but they exist which is the point. A loss would have been devastating in that capacity and now our hearts can keep on fluttering while we dream. Serious kudos and credit to the entire Cowboys organization for fighting through, rallying, and never giving up. They all earned this one. Every single bit of it. First Quarter The Eagles won the toss and deferred. Offense was officially up first for the Cowboys. While the first moments seemed like things were going to click they quickly got tenuous as Dallas was facing a 4th and 3 from their midfield. Brian Schottenheimer went for it and Dak Prescott was unable to connect with Javonte Williams. Unfortunately the Eagles made good on the short field position as they marched down and capped it off with a touchdown from Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, EAGLES 7 (Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown touchdown) Dallas took over again and in a hole for the first time on the game. That did not exactly inspire much as they went three and out before punting the ball away. Kudos to the defense for stepping up when called up as they went out and made quick work of their next opportunity by forcing a punt. Unfortunately the Cowboys ran into the punter and got his plant leg so the personal foul gave Philly new life. Making matters all the more frustrating the Cowboys defense was called for an offsides when they had gotten the Eagles offense off of it once more. You simply cannot give a team like this that many chances and they proved it by cashing in on a Jalen Hurts rushing touchdown. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, EAGLES 14 (Jalen Hurts rushing touchdown) The Cowboys held the ball and were preparing for third down as the first quarter came to an end. Second Quarter Early in the second quarter Dak Prescott found CeeDee Lamb for a big gain. Originally it looked like CeeDee fumbled after the catch, but replay quickly showed that his arm was well down. Never fear! KaVontae Turpin took a handoff out of the backfield on the very next play and very clearly fumbled. Ball don’t lie? That doesn’t work here, but neither does this football team. The Eagles looked to be in a bind as they were facing 3rd and 12 and the prospect of punting for the first time. Jalen Hurts found DeVonta Smith though, and soon enough he found the endzone by way of a tush push. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, EAGLES 21 (Jalen Hurts rushing touchdown) The Cowboys offense put up a bit of fight on their next possession as they did all they could to try to get something positive out of what was happening. George Pickens was involved. Jake Ferguson had a nice gain. Dallas got down right up against the goal line and unfortunately Tyler Guyton had a false start. Another awful penalty. That proved to be disastrous as right after Dak Prescott threw a horrible interception when looking for CeeDee Lamb in the endzone. Interestingly the FOX broadcast speculated after they came back from commercial that Tyler Guyton may have been baited into jumping by an Eagles player. That is pretty hard to prove. Anyways the Cowboys finally forced an Eagles punt and appeared ready to finally make this the opportunity where they got on the board. A big conversion from Prescott to KaVontae Turpin helped make that all the more possible. It turns out this was the drive. Dak Prescott found George Pickens for the score with 21 seconds left in the half. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, EAGLES 21 (Dak Prescott to George Pickens touchdown) That was about it. Halftime. Third Quarter The Eagles began the second half with the ball and went three and out which set the Cowboys up for a chance to really make things interesting. While the Cowboys wounded up punting the ball themselves they did not do so before Dak Prescott became the franchise’s all-time passing leader. Congratulations to him. The defense deserves credit for getting another stop. While it took until a second down for them to do so, they ultimately did before Philly even reached midfield. It gave the Cowboys a 14-point deficit with over 9 minutes left in the third quarter for full context. While the Cowboys did begin to move they ultimately ran into a wall and had to settle for a field goal. No big deal, Brandon Aubrey, right? Unfortunately this was one of those times as Aubrey missed left from 51 yards out and the Cowboys remained down by 14 points. Give credit to the defense again though as they forced yet another Philly punt. This was the second time that the Eagles went three and out in their three second-half possessions on

The […] The Cowboys are gearing up for a pivotal game against the Eagles, one where a win could seriously boost their playoff odds, and a loss could just about eliminate them from contention. With just over an hour until kickoff, we now have a better idea of who will be on hand for the contest. The Cowboys are looking pretty healthy for this one. Dak Prescott had popped up on the injury report earlier this week with hip soreness, but he didn’t even carry an injury designation into today. He’ll be suiting up, as will Jadeveon Clowney, who was also listed as questionable. A notable absence from the inactive list is wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who will be making his season debut today. Mingo, who joined the team at the trade deadline last year, was activated off injured reserve a few weeks ago but had been inactive since then. Now, he’ll get a chance to show what he can do. That means a heavy dose of healthy scratches for the Cowboys today, with the inactives list featuring Jalen Tolbert, Jaydon Blue, Hakeem Adeniji, Trikweze Bridges, Jay Toia, and Perrion Winfrey. Notably, Winfrey was activated off the injured reserve earlier this week, but it seems he’s still a week or so away from being ready to play. As for the Eagles, their biggest inactive by far is right tackle Lane Johnson, who was ruled out early in the week with a foot injury he suffered last week. Center Cam Jurgens was questionable with an injury, but he’s active and ready to go, as is edge rusher Jaelan Phillips. See More:

These two teams played the first game of the season, a 24-20 Eagles victory. That loss set the tone for a very frustrating season for the Cowboys so far. In Week 11, the Cowboys regained some momentum by throttling the inept Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys defense looks to be a different unit now that Quinnen Williams is patrolling the middle. He also got help from several other returning players from injury. The test this week is to beat a team with a quality record, and is an NFC East rival. If the Cowboys hope to keep some semblance of playoff hope going, they have to win this one. Not just for their record, but for the confidence that would come by beating an 8-2 team who are the reigning champs. Here is info for the game.

Back in March, with All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs early in the process of an offseason knee rehab stint, the Cowboys traded for former first-round draft pick Kaiir Elam as an insurance policy of sorts. Now, as several of the team’s younger reinforcements start to take on an increased role, Elam has been rendered expendable. The fourth-year veteran was waived by Dallas on Saturday. The Cowboys signed running back Malik Davis from the practice squad to the active roster to fill Elam’s spot. The 23rd overall pick in 2022 out of Florida, Elam spent his first three seasons with Buffalo before being traded. The Cowboys gave up a fifth-round selection in 2025’s draft and a seventh-rounder in 2026. (Dallas also received a sixth-round pick in 2025, which they used on offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius.) Diggs was able to return to action for Week 1, but by then, DaRon Bland was also dealing with a foot injury. As a result, Elam saw heavy usage early in the season, playing on every defensive snap over the Cowboys’ first three contests. Over the past three games, though, Elam’s snap count has plummeted, from 95.2% in the Week 8 loss at Denver to 61.2% in Arizona to just three snaps on special teams only versus Las Vegas. The Cowboys welcomed second-year corner Caelen Carson back to the lineup on Monday and saw him take 100% of the defense’s snaps. In addition, third-round rookie Shavon Revel Jr. also made his NFL debut and showed promise in his 19 plays. Elam is currently fourth on the Cowboys defense in snaps and seventh on the team in tackles, with 29. Cowboys look to Clip Eagles’ Wings: 3 Bold Predictions – Mario Herrera Jr., Inside the Star How the Cowboys could ground the Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys enter Sunday afternoon’s rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium with revenge on their minds. After dropping the opening-night contest in Philadelphia, Dallas has an opportunity to punch back in a major way; this time in front of a home crowd where Dak Prescott has been nearly untouchable. Prescott has not lost a home division game since 2017, a streak that speaks volumes about his command in the biggest NFC East moments. With how confident I am in a Cowboys victory, it feels like the perfect week for a few bold performances to break the game open. As long as Dallas establishes a respectable run game to keep the Eagles’ ferocious pass rush honest and limit Philadelphia’s offensive possessions, the matchup should tilt in the Cowboys’ favor. With that framework in place, here are three bold predictions for this divisional showdown. They may seem a bit farfetched, sure, but still well within the realm of possibility. Dak Throws for 400 This first prediction might sound extreme, but it’s grounded in what we know Prescott can be when his receivers win outside and the offensive line holds up. Outside of his 361-yard overtime outlier against the Giants, Prescott hasn’t eclipsed 320 yards in a game this season, which is exactly what makes this such a bold call. Against Philadelphia, the opportunity is real. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens both fully capable of winning one-on-one matchups, especially when games turn into offensive shootouts, Prescott could find himself throwing early and often. If the Cowboys lean into aggressive play-calling and capitalize on mismatches against an Eagles secondary that has shown cracks, this could become the 10th 400-yard passing game of Prescott’s career. In a statement game at home, the stage is certainly set for it. Overshown Gets 2 Sacks Overshown racking up two sacks would be a massive swing play for Dallas. Not only because he is easing back from injury, but because he has just five total sacks in his young career. Yet this exact situation is why his presence is so valuable. The Cowboys’ defense desperately missed a true quarterback spy in Week 1, when Jalen Hurts repeatedly extended drives with timely scrambles. Those back-breaking plays kept the Cowboys offense sidelined far too long. Overshown’s speed, instincts, and range make him uniquely equipped to contain Hurts in ways Dallas couldn’t earlier in the season. With a more disciplined defensive plan and Overshown positioned to attack whenever Hurts breaks the pocket, he has a legitimate chance to register two sacks in a momentum-shifting performance. Why Was George Pickens Fined $26K by NFL After Cowboys’ Win vs. Raiders? – Julia Stumbaugh-Bleacher Report With how Pickens is playing, still worth every penny. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens was fined $26,085 for celebrating a Week 11 touchdown catch against the Las Vegas Raiders by jumping on a goalpost at Allegiant Stadium. The NFL cited Pickens for “unsportsmanlike conduct” involving “use of a prop.” The penalty marked the largest fine given out following Week 11. The touchdown, which came on a 37-yard pass from Dak Prescott late in the second quarter, extended the Cowboys’ early lead over the Raiders to 18 points. Pickens was not initially assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play. He finished the outing with a team-high nine catches for 144 yards as the Cowboys improved to 4-5-1 with a 33-16 victory. Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was also fined $14,491 by the NFL for jumping on the goalpost in a Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Although Williams may have faced a lighter financial penalty on his second infraction of the season, his celebration was more costly on the field. The Lions were

No, I didn’t get lost. As many already know, this week across SB Nation we are having writers cross enemy lines. RJ Ochoa, who is secretly, or maybe not so secretly an Eagles fan, came over to BGN, and Brandon Gowton popped over here. Then on Thursday David Halprin came over to our turf and wrote about 4 things the Eagles should do to beat the Cowboys. Turnabout is fair play, so we sent our Dave–hey wait, that’s me–to highlight 4 things the Cowboys should do to beat the Eagles. The Eagles are due a loss. A bad loss. They’ve been outgained in eight of their games. The biggest plays AJ Brown has made this year have been on social media. The head vibes coach has seen two players retire shortly after joining the team, and they dragged another guy out of retirement to help the locker room vibes. Two weeks ago in a close prime time game they pooped their pants in late game management, and then the next week they did it again. Things are going great. The Cowboys can win this game. Everyone the Eagles have faced can beat them. Every game that the Eagles have played this season that wasn’t against the Giants has been a one score game. Play with pace Despite having a Goliath team, the Eagles play a David strategy of shortening the game. Every Eagles drive feels like they’re trying to kill the clock with a 4 point lead at the end of the game. The Eagles are 25th in plays per drive, and 22nd in points per drive. The coaches have made a conscious choice to play as few plays as possible despite having a talent advantage. A team with the offensive firepower that the Eagles have should be playing at a higher pace and creating more, not fewer, opportunities. The Cowboys can’t do anything to make the Eagles offense play at tempo. But if the Cowboys offense plays with tempo all game long, they can create an extra possession, and that could be the difference. Dallas is 10th in plays per drive, and 4th in points per drive, so increasing the pace wouldn’t take the Cowboys out of their comfort zone, but it could take the Eagles out of theirs. Though they did come back from a 19 point deficit against the Rams in Week 3, the Eagles aren’t really built or perform like a team that can get hot in a hurry late. And yes, the Eagles defense has played better over the last two weeks, but it also has spent most of the game on the sidelines, the Packers and Lions averaged 26:03 in time of possession. They have also had some luck. Detroit had 13 possessions, three of their five failed fourth down attempts were in Eagles territory. The Eagles have been great at not giving the opposition the ball via turnover, but they’ve been as bad as any team we have seen in over a decade at giving the ball right back via punt. The Eagles have been outgained in six of their eight wins so far. That rate can’t keep up. Don’t worry about AJ Brown Maybe he is playing through injury, maybe he’s washed, or maybe he’s just pouting all game long. Whatever the reason, AJ Brown is having a miserable season and there hasn’t been much reason to think it’s suddenly going to turn around. Last week Jalen Hurts force fed him 11 targets and he caught 7 of them but for just 49 yards. 5 of those catches were for either 2 yards or less on 1st down, or resulted in a 3rd down of 4 yards or longer. And that was the sixth game this season that Brown had 8+ targets, he averages 3.8 receptions for 52.5 yards and has just one TD. The Eagles offense is already taking care of stopping AJ Brown. Don’t blitz The Eagles are the 2nd most blitzed offense, per Pro Football Reference. There isn’t much to gain from blitzing more. With future Hall of Famer Lane Johnson replaced by 15 starts in 7 years Fred Johnson, getting pressure while only sending four just got a lot easier. So the Cowboys should go the opposite way on Sunday. Drop seven early and often. Jalen Hurts has the longest time to throw among qualified QBs, and with it the Eagles passing attack has been pretty one dimensional. As just noted, AJ Brown isn’t threatening defenses. Dallas Goedert does have 7 TDs, 3rd most in the league so far this season, but he also has just one game with more than 44 yards. Another reason not to blitz is that in Week 1 Jalen Hurts tore the Cowboys defense apart on scrambles, 6 of them resulted in 2 touchdowns, 2 first downs, and 2 others picked up at least five yards on first down. Blitzing just gives him room to run. Take away that option and the Eagles offense can stall. Take the refs out of the game (Not literally, though I think we can all agree that would be fun.) Like many, I was impressed that Brian Schottenheimer benched his star WRs to start a prime time game. Most coaches would just ask their players nicely to not do that again. The Cowboys would be wise to tap into more discipline on Sunday. On a per game and play basis the Eagles have the sixth worse benefit/against ratio. A positive ratio doesn’t guarantee anything, the Bengals have one of the best ratios. But don’t beat yourself, games are lost as

That could prove […] The Dallas Cowboys lost a close one in the 2025 season opener to the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week 1, but this isn’t the same team as it was back then. The Cowboys have improved on both sides of the ball, especially the defense here recently with all of the new additions. That could prove to be the difference maker this week, but only if they don’t allow certain matchups to get the better of them. Today, we have a few matchups we believe the Dallas Cowboys could possibly take advantage of to help sway the game in their favor. Probably to know one’s surprise, they are on the defensive side of the ball. DE Donovan Ezeiruaku vs. RT Fred Johnson Not having to face the Eagles All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson in Week 12 is good news for the Cowboys. He has been one of the best RTs, if not the best, since entering the league. He recently suffered a Lisfranc injury that will take him out of action. With him not in the lineup, Philadelphia swing tackle Fred Johnson will step into the starting role. The Eagles have a lot of faith in their backup, but there is still going to be a noticeable drop in production. This is something Donovan Ezeiruaku and the rest of the Cowboys pass rusher’s should try to take advantage of. The more uncomfortable they can make Jalen Hurts the better. LB DeMarvion Overshown vs. QB Jalen Hurts The last time these two teams played each other in the season opener the Eagles QB Jalen Hurts played a big part in securing the victory. The Cowboys couldn’t seem to find a solution for how to stop him from doing damage with his legs. He ended up rushing for 62 yards on just 14 attempts and scored two touchdowns. If Dallas wants a chance to upset the Eagles in this Week 12 matchup, they can’t allow that to happen again. That’s where DeMarvion Overshown comes in. Matt Eberflus would be wise to use him as a spy on Hurts to try to keep him contained inside the pocket, forcing him to try to win the game with his arm instead of his legs. DT Quinnen Williams vs. C Cam Jurgens Quinnen Williams’ debut with the Cowboys last week couldn’t have gone better if it had been scripted. He was a destructive force in the middle of Dallas’ defensive line and completely dominated the interior of the Raiders offensive line last week. A repeat performance this week against the Eagles would be nice, but this is a better OL than what he faced a week ago. With Cam Jurgens being limited in practice this week with a concussion, there is a chance Williams could be facing the Eagles backup center or quite possibly a less than 100% Jurgens. Either way, this could be a matchup the Cowboys new All-Pro DT could dominate. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster
