Eagles

Gardner Minshew was excellent, but four turnovers were just too much for the Eagles to overcome.

Pollard takes the pitch on second down to the left and gets to the 7. • Prescott hits Schultz and Lamb to open the drive for a combined 26 yards to the Eagles' 34. Prescott hits Pollard over the middle for a 13-yard pass to set up goal-to-go for the Cowboys. Then, Minshew goes to Smith on play-action, who makes the grab despite taking a big hit, for a 16-yard gain to end the third quarter. On 3rd-and-6 from the 30, Minshew was able to beat the blitz with a pass to Smith right at the sticks for the first down. • Minshew and Boston Scott mess up a handoff and the ball goes down on the ground. On 3rd down, Prescott rolls right and throws a rope to Gallup, who was draped by Epps but came up with the grab on the sideline. Tony Pollard got the Eagles to the 1-yard line with a catch for 9 yards and a run up the middle for a gain of 8. Minshew made the Cowboys pay on 3rd-and-4 with a pass to Goedert for 20 yards to the Cowboys' 34-yard line. The Eagles ran twice with Sanders to gain 1 yard then Minshew scrambled on 3rd down for 3 yards before the Eagles settled for a 25-yard Jake Elliott field goal. Smith posted eight catches for 113 yards – to go over 1,000 yards on the season for the first time in his career – and two touchdowns. The Eagles kept the run game in check as Ezekiel Elliott led the Cowboys with 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground while Pro Bowl back Tony Pollard was limited to 19 yards on the ground, but 61 as a receiver.

After back-to-back sacks in the fourth quarter from Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat, the Cowboys were faced with a seemingly impossible 3rd-and-30 from their ...

Dak made a really nice throw, and we didn’t make the play. “They made a play and we gotta move on from that. “They made a play. “We didn’t make a play and the guy did,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. The Cowboys were just 2-for-7 in the second half. “It was kind of like, oh shoot, the ball was snapped. And it happened to the Eagles in the fourth quarter against their most-hated rival on Sunday afternoon in North Texas. “It was like right as the ball was snapped,” Scott said. S—, we just have to get depth and stuff like that. We just gotta do our job.” Dak Prescott aired out a deep ball to 33-year-old T.Y. But if everybody just do their job, that play would have been stopped easily.

Gardner Minshew played fairly well but the Eagles still lost to the Cowboys on Christmas Eve. By Reuben Frank.

the Saints, when the Eagles get another opportunity to lock up top seed in the NFC. I’ll do everything I can for them to win and get that first seed in the NFC East.” “But really I’ve learned from Jalen the last two years. He’s got a lot of experience playing Dallas, and I was able to lean on that. There’s a ton of guys who’ve put in a lot of effort into this season and I don’t want to let them down. DeVonta Smith made a couple miraculous catches and picked up his third 100-yard game in the last four week, increasing his season totals to 79-for-1,014. We did, and then we didn’t capitalize when we got there.” And they held the Cowboys without a sack for only the second time this year. Minshew’s 355 yards are the most against the Cowboys since Derek Carr threw for 373 in overtime last November. Those are the ones that hurt, when you fight like that and come up short. Things to grow on, things to build on, but a lot to clean up.” “You always want to do your job well enough to win, and I feel like I didn’t do it.

It wasn't too hard to figure out how the Eagles blew it against the Cowboys on Saturday afternoon. By Dave Zangaro.

Along that same line of candor, McAfee mocked Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre on Saturday night in ruthless fashion.

Fortunately for sports fans seeking entertainment, he seldom keeps his opinions to himself.

Dallas's best players stepped up as the team bounced back and made a statement. Micah Parsons explains what the last week was like.

But that also has had a way of keeping Dallas’s eyes on the prize. And that’s why, when this one was over, as much as it might’ve proved that these Cowboys might be more resilient and tougher than some of their recent Dallas predecessors, there was still the sobering reminder that the Eagles remain two games up in the NFC East. Outside of that miss, and the interception, he was 16-of-16 for 168 yards and a touchdown, that touchdown being a 36-yarder on which he found Lamb running open on a corner route through a dead spot in an Eagles zone. And I’m super excited for the guys, that we were able to gut this one out. And Prescott was hardly the only star with a star on his helmet to show that sort of resilience and competitiveness on Saturday afternoon. His next one, a seven-yard dime on a corner fade to Lamb, tied it again at 34 and set the stage for the Cowboys to figure out—to borrow Quinn’s phrase—if they could swim in deep water, a week after they’d drowned in it. Tackling was a big point of emphasis, with all the movement and space the Eagles create, and Dallas’s ability to hold Philly to just 87 yards rushing on 29 carries was proof that the message got through. That tied it at 27 at the end of the third quarter. It was, more or less, Quinn telling his guys to beat the other guys, a nice vote of confidence for those pass rushers when the “other guys” happen to be the NFL’s best offensive line. It was also an interesting thing for Prescott to bring up first, on the heels of a career game in a very big spot at AT&T Stadium on Christmas Eve. Just as Prescott and the offense had yielded a backbreaking overtime pick-six to the Jaguars, the defense had allowed Jacksonville to drive 41 yards and set up an overtime-forcing field goal in just over a minute. It came on the heels of a seven-play, 68-yard field goal drive that Philadelphia backup QB Gardner Minshew had engineered to start the game.

Sweat reached 10.0 sacks for the first time in his career. "Just on to the next one. The Eagles reclaimed the lead after a 47-yard FG from Elliott at the end of the second quarter. Are the Eagles still in control of their destiny for the No.1 seed? I'll do everything I can for them to win and to get that first seed in the (NFC)." That's the story." On 4th-and-3, tight end Dallas Goedert crossed the field and appeared to be the go-to target. "If you're not going out there and being tough, football is not the sport for you." We're in this together and the teams that stick together through the ups and downs of the season, they are the teams that continue to grow together." Smith led the Eagles with eight catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. "You can't turn the ball over four times and expect to beat a good team." "There's a ton of guys that have put in a ton of effort, a ton of work into this team this season," Minshew said.

Dak Prescott threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns to lift the Dallas Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles 40-34 on Saturday.

Singletary scored on a 33-yard run on the opening drive of the second half and finished with 106 yards in the game. Raheem Blackshear and DJ Moore also scored for the Panthers, who amassed a team-record 570 yards of offense in the coldest game ever played at Bank of America Stadium. Foreman and Hubbard both exceeded 100 yards rushing in the first half as the Panthers built a 24-7 lead. Kickoff was delayed by an hour in a joint agreement by the Titans, the NFL and local emergency management officials after rolling power blackouts. Pittsburgh rookie Connor Heyward ran for a first down to help the Steelers run out of the clock. The Ravens won for the second time in three games without quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been out with a knee injury. Pickett completed 26 of 39 for 244 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Jones went 30 of 42 for 334 yards and a touchdown to Isaiah Hodgins, but his teammates had trouble holding onto the ball. The Patriots had the ball on the Cincinnati 5 with just over a minute to play when Rhamondre Stevenson was hit by Vonn Bell and fumbled, leading to Josh Tupou’s recovery. Las Vegas (6-9) were pushed to the brink of elimination from the postseason. Jefferson finished with 12 catches for 133 yards, and TJ Hockenson had a career-high 13 receptions for 109 yards and the other two TDs. Tee Higgins had eight catches for 128 yards and a TD.
