Dave Weinberg’s Eagles-Cowboys 2 Minute Drill
Eagles' best number: 9 (points allowed in the second half)
Eagles' worst number: 3 (Eagles fumbles)

The only thing colder than the Eagles' offense was the delicious, homemade key lime ice cream I devoured after dinner. It was made by my daughter-in-law.
Three stars
- Cowboys place-kicker Brandon Aubrey (4 field goals, including a 60-yarder and 59-yarder).
- Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (24-for-39, 271 yards, 2 TDs).
- Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (42-yard fumble return for a TD)
Eagles' best play
The defense provided the only touchdown. Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox knocked the ball away from Prescott and Carter rumbled up the sideline for a 42-yard scoop-and-score TD in the third quarter.
Eagles' worst play
All three fumbles qualify, but we'll go with the first one. Quarterback Jalen Hurts coughed it up after an 11-yard run to the Dallas 20-yard line on the Eagles' opening drive.
Turning point
Carter's Touchdown cut the Cowboys' lead to 24-13 and provided the Eagles with a glimmer of hope. Dallas responded with Aubrey's 59-yard field goal that put the lead at 27-13.
