## Summary

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday night, ending a run of poor results and strengthening their position in a tightly contested NFC East. The win eases pressure on Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer after back-to-back primetime defeats, while extending Philadelphia’s losing streak to four games.

Dallas relied on its running game as well as quarterback Dak Prescott’s passing: Javonte Williams gained 155 yards on 25 carries and scored, while CeeDee Lamb caught two touchdown passes. The Eagles briefly led 21-20 in the third quarter after touchdowns from Dameon Pierce and rookie Makai Lemon, but Dallas pulled ahead; Philadelphia were also hampered by Saquon Barkley’s back injury and the absence of injured quarterback Jalen Hurts.
