The Cowboys’ Week 9 visit to Philadelphia was billed as one of the biggest games of the season. It lived up to the hype, with the Cowboys coming within literal inches of upsetting the Eagles before a capacity crowd of Philadelphia faithful.
The game truly had everything, including plentiful helpings of good, bad, and ugly. The good for the Cowboys will obviously be overshadowed by coming out on the short end of the 28-23 final score, but it’s there. Another strong outing from Dak Prescott, a big night from CeeDee Lamb as he continues to boost his stock among the league’s receivers, and a record-breaking effort from kicker Brandon Aubrey, were, to note, a few positives.
As in any disappointing loss, though, the bad and the ugly seem to make for longer lists. Much will be made of the lack of a Cowboys run game, the preponderance of questionable penalties, the porosity of the Dallas defense in the red zone and on fourth downs, and why several Cowboys stars seemed to disappear completely in this massive game with huge implications.
But all that’s just scratching the surface. Here’s our weekly look at the goodest, the baddest, and the ugliest from the Week 9 loss.
