The Eagles entered Sunday’s matchup against the Cowboys on a six-game losing streak at AT&T Stadium. Still, Nick Sirianni’s team blasted the lid off six years of disappointment and firmly established themselves as an NFC favorite.
Philadelphia overcame another slow start, and two early Jalen Hurts turnovers to dominate Dallas, 34-6 on the road, just days before a Thursday night showdown against Washington for first place in the NFC East.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was 14-20 passing for 202 yards (10.1 avg), two touchdowns, and one interception with a 115.0 rating. Hurts also rushed seven times for 56 yards, scoring two more rushing touchdowns and moving his career total to 52.
With Cooper Rush at quarterback, Dallas 3-14 on third downs, and Vic Fangio’s ever-improving unit held the Cowboys to 146 yards of offense, 2.6 yards per play, and 1.5 yards per pass.
A.J. Brown posted another 100-yard game, logging five catches for 109 yards (21.8 avg) and making massive catch after huge catch. On defense, linebacker Zack Baun posted seven tackles and one tackle for loss. In comparison, C.J. Gardner-Johnson posted seven tackles, one pass defended, and helped create a huge Ezekiel Elliott fumble.
