Dallas' defense made things especially difficult for Philadelphia by constantly pressuring quarterback Carson Wentz into hurries, difficult throws and scrambles. Wentz finished the night with 16-of-26 passing for 191 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw an interception, lost two fumbles and was sacked three times.
As stingy as the Cowboys' defense was, their offense was just as strong. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott went 21 of 27 for 239 yards and a touchdown, with one interception. He had plenty of help, too. Ezekiel Elliott scampered for 111 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes. Amari Cooper had five receptions for 106 yards. Kicker Brett Maher boomed a 63-yard field goal in the first half en route to a 3-for-3 night.
Dallas ended a three-game losing streak with a statement win. Sporting News tracked live updates and highlights from the Eagles vs. Cowboys matchup:
