Cowboys vs. Eagles score, live updates: Saquon Barkley returns as Eagles, without Jalen Hurts, try to snap 4-game skid in NFC East showdown
The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21, effectively ending the Eagles' playoff hopes in a struggling NFC East. The Eagles played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and several other key starters due to injury and retirement.
Why it matters
The loss marks a significant decline for a team previously considered a Super Bowl contender, signaling a potential shift in team management and roster strategy.
A couple months ago, it wasn't outlandish if you considered the Philadelphia Eagles a threat to win the Super Bowl. They weren't that far removed from a championship, and their roster was loaded with talent. Even if you didn't think the Eagles were going to win a Super Bowl, nobody figured their season would be over before the World Series wrapped up.After Monday night, the only thing left for the Eagles is pride and wondering who will be traded before the Nov. 10 deadline or which coaches might be fired.If there was one situation in which the Eagles could rise up and give the best performance they had left this season, it would have been on a Monday night against the rival Dallas Cowboys.
