The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles played another NFC East classic on Sunday, with the Cowboys unfortunately ending up on the short end of the Lincoln Financial Field scoreboard. The game was back and forth, with Philadelphia getting the early lead and Dallas going ahead by halftime. The Eagles had a dominant third quarter, and Dallas made a run in the fourth that wasn’t quite enough to pull out the victory.

The Cowboys and Eagles will each leave the game feeling good about how they played overall. Both quarterbacks performed great, there weren’t many big mistakes, AJ Brown and CeeDee Lamb both showed up, and the defenses played well enough to win. Philadelphia simply made more plays and escaped with a win.

On paper, the schedule looks great for the Cowboys in the next few weeks compared to Philadelphia. They need to go over some of the major takeaways from this game and get over the final hump in the biggest matchups in the future.
