Dallas Cowboys come up short of projections, succumb to Philadelphia Eagles, 191.00-177.16

There's no sugarcoating it, Dallas Cowboys didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Philadelphia Eagles staged an impressive comeback to earn a 191.00-177.16 win. Philadelphia Eagles trailed 177.16-121.70 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind Carson Wentz (215 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 42 Rush Yds) and Dallas Goedert (7 Rec, 75 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Amari Cooper (6 Rec, 112 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Ryan Tannehill (221 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) did their part for Dallas Cowboys in the loss. Philadelphia Eagles (6-6) will look to maintain their winning ways against Cleveland Browns, while Dallas Cowboys (9-3) will attempt to get some positive momentum against GX s99 NE Pats 20 25.

Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Listen, Philadelphia Eagles, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Ryan Kerrigan and Vance McDonald), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against Cleveland Browns and we're sure to be toast.
Dallas Cowboys
With literally no passes thrown their direction this past week the starting running backs for Dallas Cowboys should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
