The comeback began in the final moments of the first half. He found George Pickens for a 1-yard touchdown reception. The Cowboys trailed 21-7 when they entered the locker room.

But it was really a tale of two halves. Philadelphia looked like Super Bowl champions 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 started to feel like the Kelly Green boys were getting red hot.

Turnovers and a faltering offense doomed the Eagles to failure in the second half. Philadelphia had six points in the second half. The Eagles punted on four of them, missed a field goal and fumbled.

In the third quarter, an Eagles punt led to a seven-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 Brandon Aubrey’s game-winning field goal.

It was a hard blow for the Eagles, who started well.

Hurts was 27 of 39 with 289 passing yards and three total touchdowns. He was only fired once. Philadelphia’s running offense was also stifled for the most part. The Eagles only rushed for 63 yards and Saquon Barkley fumbled, costing the Eagles field position.

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

Dallas, playing with a heavy heart at home following the death of Marshawn Kneeland, 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.
