Cowboys Spark Season-Saving Comeback in Wild Win Over Eagles
So, the way this Cowboys–Eagles matchup unfolded on Sunday felt like something straight out of a movie. The Cowboys walked into Week 12 needing a win desperately, sitting at 4-5-1, and by halftime it honestly looked like things might spiral into another rough outing. Falling behind 21–0 to the reigning Super Bowl champions? Most teams don’t come back from that. But somehow, the Cowboys did exactly that, pulling off a 24–21 comeback that Jerry Jones couldn’t stop beaming about afterward.
What stood out to Jones the most was the defense—something he’s invested heavily in this season and finally saw paying off. He said he was “so proud” of what the unit overcame, and honestly, eight straight defensive stops to close the game out says it all. A huge part of that surge came from Quinnen Williams, who has been playing like the missing puzzle piece since arriving at the trade deadline. Jones described his impact as “incremental to now and the future,” emphasizing how badly Dallas needed elite run-stopping without sacrificing pass rush. And on Sunday, that showed.

That defensive grit gave Dak Prescott the breathing room to take over the second half, eventually becoming the Cowboys’ all-time passing yards leader—surpassing Tony Romo. Jones even admitted he couldn’t recall a more important win in Prescott’s era, especially considering how emotional the team has been after the loss of Marshawn Kneeland. He called this game “our show tonight,” and credited the balanced effort that finally emerged with Dallas’ roster getting healthier.
A big chunk of Dak’s success came from George Pickens, who has been nothing short of electric. Pickens racked up 146 yards, caught all nine of his targets, and added a touchdown on top of surpassing 1,000 yards for the season. Jones praised him as an essential part of the Cowboys’ story—someone who has completely transformed their offensive ceiling. Naturally, the conversation shifted to his looming free agency, and Jones didn’t hesitate for a second. He wants Pickens in Dallas long-term, just like he wants CeeDee Lamb locked in, saying the duo gives the Cowboys the kind of offensive flexibility they've been chasing for years.
Now the Cowboys turn around on a short week with the Chiefs coming to town for the Thanksgiving game. And suddenly, instead of feeling buried in the standings, they look energized, confident, and ready to fight their way back into the playoff picture. Sunday’s comeback didn’t just save a game—it may have saved their season.
