The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday night, extending Philadelphia's losing streak to five games. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns, two to receiver CeeDee Lamb, whilst running back Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys finished with 204 yards rushing.

With Dallas trailing 21-20 late in the third quarter, Lamb caught his second touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Prescott in the corner of the end zone. Prescott then ran in the two-point conversion for a 28-21 lead. Kicker Brandon Aubrey added three field goals—from 55, 27 and 24 yards—to extend the lead to 31-21 before Williams scored the final touchdown.

The Eagles, now 2-5, played without injured quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is expected to miss the rest of the season due to blood clots in his lungs. Backup Tanner McKee completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards with one touchdown and one interception. McKee orchestrated an Eagles scoring drive in the third quarter that took nearly ten minutes off the clock, hitting rookie Makai Lemon for a four-yard touchdown, but Philadelphia failed to score again.

The Cowboys, improving to 3-4, remain in contention for the NFC East title, currently led by the New York Giants at 4-2-1.
