Dallas beat Philadelphia 38-21 on Monday Night Football behind a career-high 155 rushing yards from Javonte Williams and three touchdown passes from Dak Prescott, as the Eagles lost a fifth straight game.
The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday Night Football, ending a two-game losing streak and moving to 3-4, while the Eagles fell to 2-5 with a fifth consecutive defeat.
Javonte Williams set a career high with 155 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, the first 150-yard rushing game by a Cowboy since Ezekiel Elliott in 2018. Dak Prescott completed 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb caught five passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns, and George Pickens added four catches for 57 yards and a touchdown.
The game turned late in the third quarter. After six lead changes, Lamb's 16-yard touchdown catch and Prescott's two-point conversion gave Dallas a 28-21 lead with 1 minute 30 seconds left in the quarter. Dallas ran the ball 38 times for 204 yards and threw 27 times for 212 yards, and Philadelphia recorded zero tackles for loss.
The result, the scoring sequence and the rushing figures are reported consistently by NBC Sports and by the Eagles' own game account, which tracks the same fourth-quarter scoring, including a late Dallas field goal that stretched the lead to two possessions. Philadelphia started without quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, and finished without running backs Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce. Barkley, returning after missing two games with a hamstring injury, left with a back injury after seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown; Pierce left in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury after 14 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown. Tanner McKee, starting for a second straight week in place of Hurts, went 23 of 35 for 211 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The win keeps Dallas alive in a season that had been slipping away, while Philadelphia's injury list now shapes its next weeks as much as its record does. Both teams entered the night at 2-4, and the gap between them is now a full game, with Dallas holding the head-to-head edge from a night when its running game, not its passing game, set the terms.
