Gardner Minshew threw two scoring passes and did his best Jalen Hurts impersonation by running for another touchdown, but it wasn’t enough on the road in Dallas.

Dak Prescott finished with 347 yards passing and three touchdowns after his interception was returned for a touchdown by Josh Sweat, and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 40-34 on Saturday to stay within striking distance in the NFC.

The top team in the NFL, Philadelphia (13-2) committed two of their four turnovers in the final five minutes and missed a chance to clinch the NFC’s top seed with a win over a division rival.

The Eagles now need a win or loss by Dallas (11-4) in the final two games in order to wrap up home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

The Eagles moved to 13-2 on the season after a Christmas Eve loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

The Birds can still clinch the No. 1 seed – Philadelphia needs to win just one of the final two games to clinch the NFC East, the No. 1 seed, the first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

The Eagles are battered and a bit flustered after an ugly performance that was buoyed by four turnovers on offense, and an inability to get off the field on third downs as a defense.

Gardner Minshew was 24-40 for 355 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions in place of an injured Jalen Hurts.

Minshew also had one rushing touchdown on the afternoon but was credited with one lost fumble as well.

DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown both went over 100 yards on the day but were overshadowed by CeeDee Lamb’s 10 catch, 120 yards, and 2 touchdown performance to carry the Dallas passing game.

Eagles QB Gardner Minshew hooks up with DeVonta Smith for 14 yard TD vs. Cowboys

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has been aggressive all game and the Eagles took advantage on this Gardner Minshew 14-yard TD pass to DeVonta Smith

Being aggressive has its benefits and the Eagles have jumped out to a double-digit lead over the Cowboys thanks to some timely play calling on fourth down.

Earlier in the ballgame A.J. Brown took advantage of Trevon Diggs’s aggressive style of play, hauling in a dime from Gardner Minshew on an out-and-up move that confused the Dallas star cornerback.

Diggs got caught being nosey again on this 14-yard touchdown pass from Minshew to DeVonta Smith.

Minshew is now 13-21 for 212 yards, one touchdown, and one interception as Philadelphia looks to overcome another costly turnover late in the third quarter.
