Dallas Cowboys 33, Philadelphia Eagles 13

The Eagles dropped their second straight game, this time on the road to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 33-13. The Eagles turned the ball over three times as Dallas raced out to a 24-6 halftime lead, scoring on its first four possessions. Rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter returned a Dak Prescott fumble in the third quarter to provide a glimpse of hope for the Eagles, but it wasn't enough.

Philadelphia and Dallas are now both 10-3 and tied atop the NFC East. Add in San Francisco for a three-way stalemate in the race for the conference's top seed and with it a first-round bye in the playoffs. 

The Eagles didn't record an offensive touchdown in the game. The team's only touchdown came after Fletcher Cox strip-sacked Dak Prescott and rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter scooped up the ball and ran it in for a score. 

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense coughed up three fumbles and each one was costly. 

Hurts' fumble happened on the team's first drive after the Cowboys went up 7-0. Then, A.J. Brown also fumbled in the second half on the team's first drive in the third quarter. The final happened in the fourth quarter when DeVonta Smith fumbled after he made a big catch.

Maybe 10 or 20 years ago, the Eagles' 10-1 start would have been taken at face value. But in this era of advanced stats, most attentive NFL fans realized that the Eagles were living a charmed life. Their lackluster point differential was a telltale sign. The Eagles were living off of wild comebacks and close wins, which was unsustainable. Other analytics indicated the Eagles weren't in the conversation for best team in football, only best record.

The start to the Cowboys game was a continuation of the 49ers game for the Eagles. Dallas looked sharp. The Cowboys scored on all four of their possessions in the first half. Dak Prescott is the hottest quarterback in the NFL and he was rolling against the Eagles to start the game. He had 157 yards and two touchdowns before halftime.

With a 33-13 win versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, both teams moved to 10-3 with the Cowboys putting extra pressure on their divisional rivals.

Dallas dominated the first half, leading 24-6 after putting up 10 in the first and 14 in the second. Dak Prescott accounted for two of the three scores with passing touchdowns while Rico Dowdle ran in the other.

The second half started off dicey for Dallas after Prescott's fumble on a sack was returned to the house by rookie Jalen Carter. But the Eagles still failed to get going after that play in another blowout loss to a top NFC side.
