The Dallas Cowboys outscored the Philadelphia Eagles by 17 points in a 38-21 victory on Monday night, snapping a two-game losing streak. The win improved Dallas to 3-4 on the season and kept the team within reach of the division leaders. The result ended a stretch in which the offense had stalled, scoring only 29 points across the previous two contests.
Javonte Williams carried the ball 25 times for a career-high 155 rushing yards. He scored the final touchdown of the game from the two-yard line with 2:21 remaining, securing the margin of victory. This performance marked the first time since 1983 that the Cowboys recorded more than 200 rushing yards and 200 passing yards in a single game against the Eagles.
Quarterback Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes during the contest. He completed two of those scores to CeeDee Lamb and one to George Pickens. This was Prescott's sixth career game with at least three passing touchdowns against Philadelphia. Despite the offensive surge, the team allowed the Eagles to score on the opening drive of the first half and the opening drive of the second half.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer maintained a quiet demeanor after the game. He acknowledged the victory in the locker room by reviewing key plays but remained reserved in his media availability. When asked about his subdued reaction, Schottenheimer stated that his players played well and that he was excited for them. He noted that the win places the team back in the race for the NFC East title.
Prescott observed that Schottenheimer appeared motivated by recent criticism of his play-calling. The coach had recently described himself as an elite playcaller despite a 9-13-1 record over the last three seasons. Prescott said he did not discuss the external noise with Schottenheimer but noted that the coach takes pride in his work. The quarterback emphasized that the team's support for their coach remains consistent.
The defensive unit recorded one interception and two sacks against Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee. DeMarvion Overshown picked off one pass, while Quinnen Williams and Donovan Ezeiruaku recorded the sacks. The defense allowed 21 points but limited the opposing team's scoring opportunities outside of the first drives of the first and second halves.
Dallas had not won consecutive games since a three-game streak during the 2025 season. The team last secured a victory 22 days ago against the Houston Texans. The Cowboys will next host the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. ESPN Analytics calculates a 57% probability for Dallas to win the NFC East division following this result.
