Eagles vs. Cowboys score, takeaways: Philadelphia holds off Dallas ... (CBSSports.com)

PHILADELPHIA -- The Dallas Cowboys made things more interesting than they had any right to, but the Philadelphia Eagles ultimately remained perfect on ...

offside, bought the Eagles a first down, and led to a Miles Sanders touchdown run on the opening play of the second quarter. The Cowboys are 4-2 and head home next week to take on the Detroit Lions, in what could be Dak Prescott's first game back after breaking his thumb back in Week 1. Brown, then the Eagles hustled to the line and pretended like it was going to run a play on fourth-and-4, even though they did not have to snap the ball before the end of the quarter. But for the highlights, we've got to go with Philly's three picks of Rush. The most well-designed play came from the Eagles, with DeVonta Smith faking a pick route and then stepping up into the end zone, where Jalen Hurts [found him for an easy score](https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1581841107591184392). Rather than take a look at the replay and challenge it (Lamb had clearly gotten the first down), the Cowboys quickly got up to the line and called a bootleg for Rush, who threw into coverage and incomplete. After Philly took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter, the Cowboys had a chance to cut into the lead. The Eagles used a monster second quarter to power their way to victory, with 20 of their points coming in that period. They took advantage of an opponent that made several mistakes, and they leaned on play design to win the battle against an aggressive defense. They turned it over, they took too many penalties, they did not have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Eagles, and they could not stop the run or the RPO game on big third downs. First, there was the final play of the first quarter. The Eagles are on their bye next week.

Spagnola: Paying Dearly For Going Off-Script (DallasCowboys.com)

Play great defense. They did enough for nearly three quarters of football against the NFL's No. 2 offense. Not good enough. Ah, but this game of NFL football ...

The third cost the Cowboys a touchdown. But, and we know a loss is a loss, the Cowboys at least didn't throw in the towel. This is where the defense had to excel after forcing the Eagles to punt on their two previous third quarter possessions. But Graham cleanly beats Cowboys rookie left tackle Tyler Smith, and if that doesn't happen, Rush is going to hit a wide open Lamb for a 60-yard touchdown pass with still five minutes to play. He gets belted by defensive end Brandon Graham, who had done little to that point in the game with 5:16 left to play, only an assisted tackle. "Just goes to show that you've got to play all four quarters," Cooper Rush said after the first NFL loss of his six start NFL career. He used the clock. And, if a pre-, pregame throwing session means as much as a 50-throw performance appears, Dak will be ready to jump back into practice with both feet and sure seems like two healthy thumbs too when the Cowboys resume on Thursday in preparation for the upcoming Detroit game. The Cowboys didn't give up. Constitution was signed, the Cowboys violated their very own 2022 scripted constitution that had carried them to a four-game winning streak without their starting quarterback Dak Prescott. They didn't run for squat in the first half, 45 yards. They did enough for nearly three quarters of football against the NFL's No.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles stock report: Ezekiel Elliott ... (Blogging The Boys)

It feels like they regressed in that sense as time with Rush wore on which may not be entirely the fault of the staff. To be clear here Parsons’ penalty did not prevent the Eagles from ultimately punting, and Philly failed on their two-point attempt, but those results do not take away from those glaring mistakes. They were each called for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, Diggs’ taking place in a moment that allowed the Eagles an advantage on a two-point conversion attempt. But what Dallas did so well offensively early on in this little stretch was not turtle up when the ball was in their hands. Armstrong was one of the Cowboys defenders who got to Hurts and did so early on and ultimately helped force Philadelphia to punt. He was arguably their most consistent player on the defensive side of the ball from start to finish, providing his usual stellar run support (the team did not do that as a whole obviously) as well. There is never any room for moral victories, but to the main point, it is hard not to feel that the arrow is pointing up on this team overall considering we are barely in mid-October. It is particularly annoying that we now have to live with Philadelphia Eagles fans chirping about their “big” win and how they are still the last undefeated team left in the NFL, but this was a battle and not the war. Did we not know that the Cowboys were not going to go 16-1, and that more specifically the magic carpet ride we were all on with a backup quarterback was going to end at some point? He deserves all of the credit in the world. Unfortunately his limitations were on full display against the Eagles. The argument is simply that there are other ways to get into the end zone.

Cowboys' Dak Prescott Plans to Return for Week 7 vs. Lions (Sports Illustrated)

The Dallas quarterback hasn't played since he fractured his thumb in Week 1 against the Buccaneers.

The Cowboys (4-2) play host to the Lions (1-4) on Sunday at 1 p.m. He threw more ahead of the game but still remained on the sideline. His return timeline is right on schedule, as he plans to come back after six weeks. He had surgery but was never placed on the injured reserve list, meaning he was eligible to return to the field as soon as doctors cleared him.

However you choose to view it, Prescott is the man in Dallas and will be for years to come. After the Lions in Week 7, the Cowboys welcome the Bears to Big D, then go on the road to play the Packers and Vikings. That’s a much better game to come back to than against the Eagles because No. Prescott and Bryant aren’t exactly what you’d call best friends by any means, as they never seemed to quite get on the same page early in Dak’s career.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott would love for Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles to be the last game he misses due to a broken thumb.

We control everything in front of us." "I never really had any doubt that the team wouldn’t do what they just did. Just disappointed I couldn’t be with the guys along that process – five weeks, I guess." "The plan now is to go next week," Prescott said of a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Yeah, we can get rolling," Prescott said. "As long as he’s healthy and ready to go, it’ll be good to get him back." Pressing any sort of panic button for the Cowboys would be premature at this juncture. "It was what we're looking for. He threw three picks against a frenetic Eagles secondary and had a 1.0 quarterback rating after the first half. "We’re ready to get (No. The bone obviously didn’t have the same plans."

Cowboys 'QB Controversy' Killed - By Cooper Rush vs. Eagles; Dak ... (Sports Illustrated)

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush struggled in the team's 26-17 Week 6 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.

[Cooper Rush has more than exceeded expectations this season](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/10/03/cooper-rush-makes-cowboys-history-win-over-commanders). The defense did its part - well, except for allowing a late crushing TD drive -but Rush displayed his issues winning a football game when the opposing offense forces him to go score-for-score. Additionally, Rush was 18 of 38 on the night for just 181 passing yards. The bigger issue was, Dallas turned the ball over three times. However, the loss to Philly showed how much of a handicap that can be. Dallas sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts four times while holding the Philadelphia run game to just 3.5 yards per carry.

Coordinators Address Missed Tackles & Penalties (DallasCowboys.com)

FRISCO, Texas – After their loss to the Eagles on Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys saw their four-game winning streak come to a halt.

An Eagles-Cowboys rematch on Christmas Eve, yes please (Deadspin)

Happy spooky season to all of you with pumpkin emojis in your social media names. May your costumes get you all of the likes, loves, eye emojis, ...

Big plays on both sides of the ball, division rivals, fast and physical defense, oh please let’s run this back. Then someone must have clicked on Dorrough’s “Get Big” at halftime, because the Cowboys manhandled the Eagles to start the second half. What a nightmare it was for the Cowboys at first going, down 20-0. And with the Philadelphia crowd riled up after the Phillies took their bats to the Atlanta Braves’ championship defense at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, this was certainly a spooky-season night fit for “Dreams and Nightmares.” It’s dishwasher friendly for easy cleaning and has a tight-sealing lid to prevent spills when taking it on the go. For me, on the occasion that Christmas falls on Sunday, NFL games feel like an intrusion.

Cowboys Dan Quinn 'pissed' defense failed to show capability vs ... (The Dallas Morning News)

Dallas allowed multiple touchdowns for the first time this season while holding the Eagles to a season-low 268 yards. Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy ...

The Eagles began one from their own 20-yard line in the second quarter and a backbreaking one from their own 25 in the fourth. Defensive end Dante Fowler jumped early on a fourth-and-4 on the Eagles’ long touchdown drive in the second quarter. On the second instance, cornerback Jourdan Lewis was so late to follow Brown, Smith had no one to pick. Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Monday that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did appear to have crossed the first-down marker on a third-down reception in the second quarter. Brown came free in the right flat and converted fourth-and-3 because cornerback Trevon Diggs was held up on wide receiver Devonta Smith’s pick at midfield. Six came on defense, the franchise’s most defensive penalties since drawing seven flags in last year’s Thanksgiving loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. On the first, wide receiver A.J. They were the first NFL defense to achieve that trifecta in each of their first five games since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. The other 13 – a touchdown and two field goals, all in the second quarter – came on drives that began in Cowboys territory after an interception or turnover on downs. I wish I could put them in a better spot to do one.’ I’ve got a lot of faith in who we are as a defense. Or the fact that, during the second half, the Eagles managed 95 yards of total offense and 3.2 yards per play. When we don’t quite nail it, and that goes to me, too, to say, ‘I wish I had that called differently.
