article

DALLAS - The Dallas Cowboys erased a 21-point first-half deficit to stun the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday, capped by Brandon Aubrey’s 42-yard field goal as time expired.

Early lead

The Eagles jumped out to a commanding lead behind quarterback Jalen Hurts, who accounted for all three first-half touchdowns.

Hurts opened the scoring with a 16-yard strike to A.J. Brown on the Eagles’ first drive, then powered in a pair of rushing touchdowns, one from seven yards and another on the team’s signature "Tush Push" from the 1, to make it 21-0 midway through the second quarter.

The Cowboys finally broke through just before halftime when Dak Prescott connected with George Pickens for a 1-yard touchdown, set up by a 48-yard catch-and-run from Kavontae Turpin, trimming the deficit to 21-7.

Comeback gathers pace

Dallas’ defense settled in after the break, forcing the Eagles to punt on consecutive drives. Prescott took advantage late in the third quarter, finding Brevyn Spann-Ford for a 5-yard touchdown after a 48-yard completion to CeeDee Lamb to make it 21-14.

Prescott tied the game early in the fourth quarter with an 8-yard touchdown run to cap off a 67-yard drive that featured another deep ball to Pickens.

Given one last chance, Prescott calmly led Dallas downfield in the final two minutes, setting up Aubrey for the 24-21 game-winning fielg goal as time expired.

The kick sealed one of the biggest comebacks in recent Cowboys memory and handed the Eagles their second loss in division play this season.

Prescott finished with 354 yards and three total touchdowns in the comeback win.

Dak Prescott, after becoming the Cowboys all-time leading passer, became Dallas’ all-time leading QB in 4th quarter/OT comebacks.

The win sends a strong message from Dallas (5-5-1) in what remains to be Brian Schottenheimer’s debut season.
