The Cowboys convincingly triumphed over the Philadelphia Eagles, securing a 33-13 victory on Sunday night. The win propelled Dallas ahead of Philadelphia in the NFC East standings, a moment of triumph for head coach Mike McCarthy, who exchanged smiles with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni post-game.

The Cowboys’ defense showcased its prowess by keeping the Eagles’ offense at bay, with rookie Jalen Carter’s 42-yard fumble return standing as the lone touchdown for Philadelphia. Quarterback Dak Prescott played a pivotal role, throwing for 271 yards on 24-of-39 passing, including two touchdowns.
Kicker Brandon Aubrey continued his exceptional performance, extending his historic streak of consecutive field goals to start a career. The 28-year-old rookie, now with 30 successful attempts, went 4-for-3 on the night, displaying incredible accuracy from distances of 45, 50, 59, and 60 yards. Aubrey’s achievement of making two field goals of 59 yards or more in a single game marks a historic milestone in NFL history.

Tight end Jake Ferguson continued his breakout season, contributing significantly with a team-high 72 receiving yards on six catches. Receivers CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup added to the offensive prowess with touchdown receptions.
The defensive dominance extended to three key playmakers on the Eagles — quarterback Jalen Hurts and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith — each experiencing fumbles, all recovered by Dallas defenders. With 19 turnovers on the season, the Eagles faced a formidable Cowboys defense led by cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who tallied a team-high nine tackles and forced one of the fumbles.
Despite the Eagles retaining control of their destiny in the NFC East race, the current landscape places them as the No. 5 seed in the conference, with Dallas securing the No. 2 spot behind the San Francisco 49ers.
