The comeback began in the closing moments of the first half. He found George Pickens for a 1-yard touchdown catch. The Cowboys trailed 21-7 going into the locker room.

But it really was a tale of two halves. Philadelphia looked like Super Bowl champions with the way they played through the first two quarters. Jalen Hurts found the end zone three times, including a touchdown pass to AJ Brown. It was starting to feel like the boys in Kelly green were going to be red hot.

Turnovers and a sputtering offense doomed the Eagles in the second half. Philadelphia had six drives in the second half. The Eagles punted on four of them, missed a field goal and fumbled the ball.

In the third quarter, an Eagles punt led to a 7-play, 89-yard touchdown drive by Prescott. He found tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford to make it a one-possession game.

Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed a long field goal early in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys turned it into a three-play, 54-yard drive that ended with a Prescott rushing touchdown. It tied the game and gave Dallas the momentum they needed to win the game.

Prescott then led Dallas on a nine-play, 49-yard drive that ended with a Brandon Aubrey game-winning field goal.

It was a crushing blow for the Eagles, who started hot.

Hurts was 27-of-39 with 289 passing yards and three total touchdowns. He was fired only once. Philadelphia’s rushing offense was mostly subdued as well. The Eagles only rushed for 63 yards and Saquon Barkley fumbled, costing the Eagles field position.

Brown had eight catches on 10 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. DeVonta Smith had six catches on 11 targets for 89 yards. But the offense was completely blank in the second half.

Dallas, playing with heavy hearts at home in the wake of Marshawn Kneeland’s death, improved to 5-5-1 on the year. The Cowboys are two games behind the San Francisco 49ers in the win column for the final playoff spot.
