Match Score
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia Eagles | 14 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 21 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 0 | 7 | 7 | 10 | 24 |
Dak Prescott’s Passing Performance
Dak Prescott completed 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His performance became increasingly important as Dallas recovered from the early deficit. Prescott broke Tony Romo’s franchise career passing-yardage record during the game with a 9-yard completion to George Pickens early in the second half. He later added a rushing touchdown that tied the game at 21-21.
Prescott’s passing production also helped Dallas consistently move the football after halftime. His connection with George Pickens became particularly important during the final possession. Prescott completed a 24-yard pass to Pickens that moved Dallas to the Philadelphia 22-yard line with 35 seconds remaining. That completion created the field-position opportunity for Aubrey’s winning field goal.
Jalen Hurts’ Eagles Statistics
Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 passes for 289 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He also rushed seven times for 33 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns. Hurts helped Philadelphia build its 21-0 advantage through both his passing and mobility, giving the Eagles a strong offensive start during the opening half.
Hurts’ first rushing touchdown came on a seven-yard run in the first quarter, while his second came on a one-yard tush-push in the second quarter. His only passing touchdown went to A.J. Brown for 16 yards. Despite the strong opening, Philadelphia could not score during the final two quarters, allowing Dallas to complete the comeback.
George Pickens Leads Cowboys Receivers
George Pickens produced a major performance for Dallas, finishing with nine receptions for 146 yards and one touchdown. His longest reception covered 43 yards, and his production gave Prescott a consistent downfield target throughout the game. Pickens also caught Dallas’ first touchdown, a one-yard reception from Prescott just before halftime.
Pickens remained involved during the decisive fourth quarter. His 24-yard reception during the final Dallas possession moved the Cowboys into scoring range and helped set up Aubrey’s game-winning kick. His combination of volume and explosive plays made him one of the central statistical figures in Dallas’ comeback.
CeeDee Lamb’s Receiving Numbers
CeeDee Lamb recorded four receptions for 75 yards, including a 48-yard catch. That explosive play helped Dallas create a scoring opportunity in the second half. Lamb did not score a touchdown, but his ability to generate significant yardage on limited receptions contributed to Dallas’ 473-yard offensive performance.
Jake Ferguson also contributed five receptions for 60 yards, while KaVontae Turpin caught one pass for 48 yards. Dallas therefore received production from several different targets instead of relying on a single receiver. The distribution helped Prescott attack Philadelphia’s defense through multiple areas of the field during the comeback.
Eagles Receiving Statistics
A.J. Brown led Philadelphia’s receiving group with eight receptions for 110 yards and one touchdown. Brown produced five catches for 67 yards during the first quarter alone and caught Hurts’ 16-yard touchdown pass that opened the scoring. His early production helped Philadelphia establish its initial advantage.
DeVonta Smith added six receptions for 89 yards, while Saquon Barkley caught seven passes for 52 yards. Dallas Goedert finished with two receptions for 20 yards. Philadelphia moved the ball effectively through the air, but the offense struggled to maintain that production after halftime as Dallas increased its defensive pressure and controlled field position.
Saquon Barkley’s Rushing Performance
Saquon Barkley carried the ball 10 times for only 22 yards, with a longest run of seven yards. The result marked a difficult rushing outing for the Eagles running back, especially considering Philadelphia had built a 21-point advantage early. Dallas limited Philadelphia’s ground attack to just 63 total rushing yards.
Barkley’s production became even more important after Dallas began its comeback because Philadelphia could not consistently use the running game to control the clock. He also lost a fumble during the second half, giving Dallas another opportunity. The Eagles’ inability to sustain their early offensive rhythm contributed to the dramatic change in the game’s momentum.
Cowboys Rushing Statistics
Javonte Williams led Dallas with 20 carries for 87 yards, including a 20-yard gain. Dak Prescott added nine rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries. Malik Davis contributed 24 yards on three attempts, while KaVontae Turpin and Jake Ferguson added smaller contributions on the ground.
Dallas finished with 125 rushing yards on 31 attempts, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. The rushing attack complemented Prescott’s passing performance and helped the Cowboys sustain drives during the second half. Prescott’s tying touchdown was particularly significant because it brought Dallas level at 21-21 with 11:40 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Dallas held clear statistical advantages in total offense, first downs, rushing yards and yards per play. The Cowboys averaged 7.0 yards per play, compared with Philadelphia’s 5.8. Dallas also ran 68 offensive plays, 10 more than the Eagles. Those numbers help explain how the Cowboys gradually changed the game’s direction after the Eagles’ dominant opening.
Philadelphia, however, was highly efficient inside the red zone, converting all three of its opportunities. Dallas went 3-for-5 in the red zone and committed more mistakes early. Both teams finished with two turnovers, but Dallas eventually overcame its early errors through sustained offensive production and a decisive late possession.
Key Moments That Changed the Game
Philadelphia’s 21-0 start came from several Dallas mistakes and strong early execution. A roughing-the-punter penalty extended an Eagles possession before Hurts scored his first rushing touchdown. Philadelphia later reached 21 points after recovering a KaVontae Turpin fumble. Dallas also committed a false start near the goal line before Prescott threw an interception.
Dallas finally gained momentum with Prescott’s touchdown pass to Pickens before halftime. After the break, the Cowboys added Prescott’s touchdown connection with Brevyn Spann-Ford and then tied the game on Prescott’s eight-yard rushing score. Philadelphia’s late mistakes, including Barkley’s fumble and Xavier Gipson’s punt-return fumble, provided Dallas with additional opportunities.
Brandon Aubrey’s Game-Winning Field Goal
With the score tied at 21-21, Dallas received the ball for its final possession with 1:35 remaining. Prescott moved the Cowboys down the field, and his 24-yard completion to Pickens placed Dallas at the Philadelphia 22-yard line. Philadelphia used its remaining timeouts, but Dallas secured the field position needed for its kicker.
Brandon Aubrey then converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired, giving Dallas its 24-21 victory. It was the second game-winning field goal of Aubrey’s career, according to Reuters. The kick completed a nine-play, 49-yard final drive and capped one of the Cowboys’ most dramatic comebacks of the season.
