Javonte Williams’ relentless ground attack, capped by a 2-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter, provided the decisive edge in a 38-21 victory for the Dallas Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
The visit to Lincoln Financial Field saw the Cowboys outscore the home team in every quarter, building a lead that Philadelphia was unable to overcome despite a spirited effort from their own offense.
The final tally of 38-21 reflects a game where Dallas’ balanced attack, led by Williams and Dak Prescott, consistently dictated the pace and kept the Eagles’ defense off balance throughout the four quarters.
The Cowboys established their dominance early, taking a 10-7 lead after the first quarter following a Brandon Aubrey field goal and a CeeDee Lamb touchdown. The second quarter saw both teams exchange drives, with the Eagles narrowing the gap to 14-10 before Dallas struck back.
George Pickens connected with Prescott for a 21-yard score, and Aubrey added a 27-yard field goal to extend the lead to 20-14 at the half. The third quarter brought a moment of momentum for Philadelphia, as Tanner McKee connected with Makai Lemon for a 4-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-20.
However, Dallas responded immediately with a crucial 16-yard touchdown pass to Lamb, converted with a two-point run by Prescott, to swing the momentum back in their favor and take a 28-21 lead into the fourth.
