Summarised from 3 outlets · 5 reports · Updated 27 Oct, 04:38 · Archive

The Eagles lost 38-21 to the Cowboys on Monday night in Week 7 of the NFL season.

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Dallas Cowboys 38-21 on Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 7, stretching their losing streak to five games.

The Eagles showed some offensive promise early, with Saquon Barkley returning from injury to lead a successful opening drive that ended in his 8-yard touchdown run. Barkley accounted for 49 yards on the drive and finished with 62 yards rushing on seven carries, though he suffered a back injury during the game. Wide receiver Makai Lemon scored his first career touchdown on a four-yard reception in the third quarter as the Eagles briefly mounted a strong offensive showing.

However, the Eagles' defence proved ineffective throughout the game. The Cowboys generated more than 400 yards of offence whilst Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens caught one of quarterback Dak Prescott's three touchdown passes. The Eagles failed to stop the run game or pressure the quarterback effectively.

Tanner McKee led the Eagles' offence in the absence of star receiver DeVonta Smith, whilst the team was bolstered by the return of Saquon Barkley and other offensive linemen. The loss came on the night owner Jeff Lurie was inducted into the Eagles' Hall of Fame.
