Cowboys Survive Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field 38-21

A Dominant Road Victory

The Dallas Cowboys secured a convincing 38-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday, October 26, 2026. The win improves Dallas's record to 3-4, while the Eagles fall to 2-5 in front of an attendance of 69,879.

Dallas established control early and never relinquished it. The Cowboys outscored Philadelphia 10-7 in the first quarter, 10-7 in the second, 8-7 in the third, and closed strong with a 10-0 fourth-quarter dominance to seal the result.

Offensive Explosion Led by Prescott

Quarterback Dak Prescott orchestrated the offensive attack with precision, completing 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns. His connection with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was pivotal; Lamb caught five passes for 74 yards and two scores, including a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter that gave Dallas a 10-7 lead.

Prescott also found George Pickens for a 21-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to take a 17-14 halftime lead. In the third period, he connected with Lamb again on a 16-yard strike and added a two-point conversion run himself, pushing the score to 28-21.

Ground Game and Defense Key the Win

Running back Javonte Williams provided the muscle in the backfield, carrying the ball 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown. His two-yard rush in the fourth quarter extended the lead to 38-21, effectively ending any hope of an Eagles comeback.

Kicker Brandon Aubrey was reliable throughout the contest, adding three field goals from distances of 55, 27, and 24 yards, contributing nine points to the Cowboys' total. The defense held firm against a Philadelphia offense that struggled to sustain momentum after the second quarter.

Eagles Struggle to Respond

Philadelphia’s Tanner McKee started at quarterback, finishing with 211 passing yards on 23-of-35 passing, along with one touchdown and one interception. He threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Makai Lemon in the third quarter, briefly cutting the deficit to 28-21.

Lemon finished with seven receptions for 67 yards and that touchdown. Saquon Barkley led the Eagles' rushing attack with seven carries for 62 yards and a score, but it was not enough to overcome Dallas's balanced offensive output.

The Cowboys' ability to score in every quarter proved too much for Philadelphia, who failed to score in the final period despite holding the ball for significant stretches.
