Cowboys running back Javonte Williams posted a career-high 155 yards on 25 carries, including a fourth-quarter touchdown, in a 38-21 road victory over the Eagles on Monday night.
The performance marked a dramatic turnaround for Williams, who had managed just 23 carries combined during losses to the Packers and Buccaneers in Weeks 5 and 6. The Cowboys had scored only 29 points total across those two games.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized committing to at least 25 rushes per game. Williams said the ground attack gave Schottenheimer "the confidence to keep calling the runs." Tyler Goodson added 11 carries in the contest.
Quarterback Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, connecting with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Jake Ferguson also contributed to the offensive attack. The Cowboys are now seeking to maintain balance after leaning heavily on their rushing attack against the Eagles.
