The Dallas Cowboys now have two turnovers in the same night. Perhaps the power of the blue moon on Halloween is having residual affects, or maybe it has to do with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz being a big fan of turnovers.
Either way, it’s nice to see for a change. The Eagles decided to go for it on 4th-and-3 early in the second quarter when linebacker Leighton Vander Esch got home on a delayed blitz, running through Wentz like a wet paper bag.
Vander Esch comin' through!

That is the first unassisted sack of Vander Esch’s career and just the second forced fumble. The Dallas offense again failed to capitalize with great field position, starting with the ball on the plus side of midfield. They settled for the second Greg Zuerlein field goal of the game and now trail 7-6.
