Brown and adding two more scores on the ground to put the Eagles in the driver's seat. The Dallas defense struggled to contain the Eagles' offense, and things seemed bleak for the home team.

In the third quarter, Prescott connected with George Pickens for a touchdown that sparked life into the Cowboys’ offense. Despite missing a long field goal attempt, Prescott didn't let up, and his 48-yard pass to CeeDee Lamb set up another touchdown pass to Brevyn Spann-Ford, narrowing the deficit to 21-14.
into the fourth quarter, the Cowboys were still trailing by seven, but they were gaining momentum. Dak Prescott kept his cool under pressure, leading his team on a methodical drive that ended with him running in an 8-yard touchdown to tie the game at 21-21. The Eagles had a chance to retake the lead, but their kicker missed a long field goal attempt, giving Dallas another opportunity.
With just over three minutes remaining, the Cowboys were on the move again. Prescott connected with Pickens on a spectacular 43-yard reception, putting the team in prime field goal range. After a couple of plays, rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey nailed a 42-yard field goal with just 3 seconds left on the clock to seal the dramatic 24-21 win.
In the end, the Cowboys’ offense outgained the Eagles, 473 to 339, with Prescott throwing for 354 yards and two touchdowns. Pickens was the star of the game, hauling in 146 yards and a touchdown, while Lamb and Jake Ferguson also contributed with solid performances.
