Dallas Cowboys fall short of projections, succumb to Philadelphia Eagles in 206.46-57.04 beatdown

There's no sugarcoating it, Dallas Cowboys underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Philadelphia Eagles cruised to a 206.46-57.04 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in the matchup, as Philadelphia Eagles leapt out to a 120.06-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Dallas Goedert and Jalen Pitre. Goedert caught 8 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown for 27 points, while Pitre made 9 tackles (16 points). C.J. Mosley (6 Tackles, 1 Sack) and Jared Goff (137 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) were the top performers for Dallas Cowboys in the loss. This marks the second time this season Philadelphia Eagles have taken down Dallas Cowboys, after winning 239.36-186.78 in their last matchup. Philadelphia Eagles (6-3) will look to keep it rolling against San Francisco 49'ers, while Dallas Cowboys (3-6) will meet Miami Dolphins in an effort to get back in the win column.
