The Dallas Cowboys did exactly what they wanted to do against the B squad of the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night, dominating the game and coming away with a 51-26 win. Head coach Mike McCarthy couldn’t have scripted it any better as his offense, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, had their best performance of the second half of the season.
If the Cowboys wanted to enter the postseason with some confidence, and that was the reason for playing most of their starters for three quarters, mission accomplished.
In the beatdown the Cowboys earned a season sweep of the NFC East, going 6-0 and put up their second 50-point game against a divisional opponent. Dallas also scored at least 44 points against each rival on their way to a 12-5 season.
The Cowboys beat an Eagles team that wasn’t playing their best players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, but they got some of their offensive groove back, which was the biggest goal heading into the game.
Here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly as the Cowboys embarrassed the Eagles in Week 18.
