Dallas Cowboys Defeat Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 in Monday Night Football

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday night at home, ending a two-game skid and deepening their opponent's season-long struggles.

Running back Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards, and quarterback Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes to lift the Cowboys to a 3-4 record.

The loss drops the injury-decimated Eagles to 2-5 and severely damages their fading postseason hopes after five consecutive defeats.

The game featured six lead changes before the Cowboys pulled away in the second half behind a dominant ground game and efficient passing.

Dallas ran the ball 38 times for 204 yards while throwing for 212 yards, overwhelming an exhausted Philadelphia defense.

The Eagles played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, and lost running backs Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce during the game.

Barkley returned from a hamstring injury to rush for 62 yards and a touchdown before departing with a back injury.

Pierce left in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury after gaining 47 yards and scoring a touchdown on 14 carries.

Tanner McKee started in place of Hurts for the second consecutive week and completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon caught seven passes for 67 yards, including a four-yard touchdown reception that briefly gave Philadelphia a 21-20 lead in the third quarter.

Dallas answered when Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb for a 16-yard touchdown pass, followed by a successful two-point conversion to make it 28-21.

Lamb finished with five receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns, while George Pickens added four catches for 57 yards and a score.

Williams added a late touchdown run to seal the victory for Dallas after Philadelphia failed to convert a fourth-down attempt deep in its own territory.

The Cowboys will look to build on the momentum in the NFC East, while the Eagles face questions about potential trades before the Nov. 10 deadline.
