Philadelphia Eagles 21 vs Dallas Cowboys 41 summary: score, stats, highlights |NFL Week 3
The Dallas Cowboys had a wire to wire win on Monday night in another convincing performance against an Philadelphia Eagles. Dak Prescott was nearly perfect in his return home, completing 21 of his 26 passes in the 41-21 win for the Cowboys.
Cowboys make home debut
Dallas dominated Philly from the start in the first divisional showdown of the season in the NFC East. They scored on the first drive and didn’t look back.
Prescott has been sensational in the early parts of the season, and he was against Philadelphia on an emotional night for the quarterback who suffered a season ending injury over 11 months ago. He got some help with the running game on Monday night, as Ezekiel Elliott ran for a season-high 95 yards, and Tony Pollard chipped in another 60.
Elliott's best game of the young season
Dak led Dallas right down the field on the opening drive of the game. A 44-yard pitch and catch from Dak to CeeDee Lamb set up Elliott’s one yard touchdown run four minutes into the game.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was picked off on the next series on the Dallas one yard line, which actually ended up benefiting Philly. They were able to knock the ball out of Prescott’s hand on the drop back and the fumble was caught by Fletcher Cox for a fumble recovery and touchdown. That would be the last of the good news for the Eagles the rest of the night.
The Cowboys would score a couple more touchdowns on back-to-back possessions before the end of the half and take a commanding 20-7 lead to halftime.
Diggs' pick six put the game to bed after halftime
The Cowboys went to the halftime break with more first downs (19) than Philadelphia had run plays, but the Eagles were still in the game coming into the third quarter.
On the opening series of the second half, Hurts was picked off by Trevon Diggs who returned the interception for a touchdown. That was the early dagger for the Eagles who couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end.
Philadelphia finally got their first offensive touchdown midway through the third quarter, but it was of little consequence considering the Cowboys were able to score two more touchdowns to put the game thoroughly out of reach.
Prescott the depiction of efficiency Monday night
Prescott passed for 238 yards and three touchdowns in long awaited return to AT&T Stadium. His main target on the night was Dalton Schultz who had 6 receptions for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
Hurts had 326 yards passing, and led Philly in rushing with 35 yards on nine carries. Dallas Goedert was the leading receiver with 66 yards on two catches.
Dallas move to 2-1 on the season and their opening three games have given Cowboy nation plenty to talk about, and more than enough to be hopeful for this season. Prescott is back to his best, and the Dallas defense looks better than it has in years
Zeek's second TD of the game. He had his best game of the season amidst chatter that he may lose his starting role to Tony Pollard

The battle out of the NFC East has become one of the most bitter rivalries in the league.
Hello everyone and welcome to AT&T Stadium for tonight's contest between the Eagles and the Cowboys
It’s a clash of 1-1’s in the NFC East as the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys as division play starts for the two eternal rivals. AS English will be with you every step of the way with live coverage, updates, stats and scores from tonight’s Monday night matchup from AT&T Stadium.
Dallas seconds away from being undefeated
The Cowboys have a .500 record but could easily be coming into Week 3 undefeated if it weren’t for some Tom Brady heroics in the final moments of the season opener from Raymond James Stadium.
Dallas played the Buccanneers even from beginning to end. The only thing the Cowboys did wrong in that game was score with too time left on the fourth quarter clock. Brady led yet another one of his famous last minute drives to win the game and hand the Cowboys their first loss of the season.
Dak is back
Dak Prescott made his return in the season opener 11 months after dislocating and fracturing his ankle, against the Giants. He passed for over 400 yards in his return and threw three touchdowns.
In Week 2 the Cowboys were able to squeak past the Los Angeles Chargers after a drive late in the game that led to a game winning Greg Zuerline Field goal from 56 yards.
Prescott had a more modest game last week, throwing for 237 yards and no touchdowns, but he got a big boost from the running game which was nonexistent in the opening week. Tony Pollard had 109 yards on 13 carries and Ezekiel Elliott had 71 yards to help Dallas to get back to even on the season.
Eagles started season soaring
The Eagles came out with a promising performance to start their season. A 32-6 waxing of the Atlanta Falcons gave the City of Brotherly Love much to believe in, not just in their team but in second year quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Hurts had three touchdowns and 264 yards in the air to go along with 62 yards rushing to start the season. Rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith led all receivers with six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown.
Philly’s game last week wasn’t as pretty or as promising for the Eagles. The score was even ugly. They lost 17-11 at home to the San Francisco 49ers. They went without a touchdown in the first three quarters, and scored a consolation one late on in the fourth.
Hurts leading Philly in rushing yards
Hurts went 12/23 for 190 yards, and led the Eagles with 82 rushing yards on 10 carries. He and Quez Watkings were the only bright spots in an otherwise dull game offensively for Philly.
Both teams running games will have to rise to the challenge tonight and for the rest of the season. Dak Prescott has a few more resources to work with if Elliott and Pollard have an off night. But Hurts with need guys like Miles Sanders and Kennth Gainwell to produce against the Cowboys in order to take some of the pressure off the sophomore quarterbacks shoulders.
Tonights game from AT&T Stadium is set for kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast on ESPN.
