The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday night, handing their division rivals a fifth consecutive defeat in the NFL. Dak Prescott completed passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns, connecting twice with CeeDee Lamb. With the victory, the Cowboys improved to a 3-4 record and kept their hopes alive in the NFC East, which is currently led by the New York Giants at 4-2-1. Javonte Williams contributed significantly to the Dallas offense by running for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown, marking the first 150-yard rushing game by a Dallas player since Ezekiel Elliott in 2018. Brandon Aubrey also added to the score with three field goals of 55, 27 and 24 yards. Meanwhile, the Eagles dropped to 2-5, marking their longest losing skid since 2016. Philadelphia played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to blood clots in his lungs. Backup quarterback Tanner McKee stepped in and completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Running back Saquon Barkley returned for Philadelphia after missing more than two games with a hamstring injury, finishing with 62 yards on seven carries despite spending time receiving treatment on the sideline. During the game at Lincoln Financial Field, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame at half-time to honor his tenure since purchasing the franchise on 6 May 1994.
