Dallas defeated Philadelphia 38-21 on Monday Night Football, improving to 3-4 while the Eagles fell to 2-5.
Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns, connecting twice with CeeDee Lamb, who finished with 74 yards on five catches. Javonte Williams set a career high with 150 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, averaging 6.2 yards per attempt. George Pickens added a 21-yard diving touchdown catch and has now recorded 260 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games after managing just 225 yards without a score in his first four contests.
The Eagles played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and edge rusher Nolan Smith due to concussion. Backup Tanner McKee started in Hurts's place. Saquon Barkley was limited by hamstring trouble, carrying seven times for 62 yards and a score before reaggravating the injury on a 29-yard opening drive run. DeMarvion Overshown recorded his first interception since 2024 after returning from a hamstring ailment suffered in Week 1.
Dallas snapped a stretch of consecutive starts below 20 points, its first such drought in seven years with Prescott. The Cowboys seek their first NFC East crown since 2023, though the Giants currently lead the division at 4-2-1. Dallas faces opponents with a combined 13-22 mark over the next five weeks, with only the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 at AT&T Stadium holding a winning record.
