Deadspin: Prescott’s 3 TDs Help Cowboys Hand Eagles Fifth Straight Loss

Dallas controls the finish

The Cowboys won 38-21 on the road, improving to 3-4 and ending a two-game losing streak. They gained 416 yards, compared with Philadelphia’s 321, and avoided turnovers. Prescott threw for 212 yards, connecting with CeeDee Lamb for two scores and George Pickens for another. Williams added a career-best 155 rushing yards as Dallas totaled 204 on the ground.

Philadelphia briefly moves ahead

The Eagles, now 2-5, took a 21-20 lead early in the second half. Tanner McKee capped a 17-play, 84-yard possession with a four-yard touchdown pass to rookie Makai Lemon.

McKee, making his fourth NFL start, threw for 211 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Saquon Barkley, returning after missing two games with a hamstring injury, had 71 yards from scrimmage and a rushing touchdown on nine touches.

Cowboys answer with scoring run

Prescott hit Lamb for a 16-yard touchdown later in the third quarter, then ran in the two-point conversion to give Dallas a 28-21 advantage. It was the game’s sixth lead change.

Brandon Aubrey kicked his third field goal, from 24 yards, to make it 31-21 with 9:10 remaining. Williams sealed the result with a two-yard touchdown run with 2:21 left.

Early scoring and season context

Aubrey opened the scoring with a 55-yard field goal before Barkley ran eight yards for Philadelphia’s first opening-drive points of the season. Dallas replied with Prescott’s nine-yard touchdown pass to Lamb.
