They threw the ball 35 times to only 25 runs between Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. We talk about balance and staying with it the Cowboys needed Prescott to win this game. Prescott and the offense turned those turnovers into 20 points, which helped them unload 40 points. Injuries are killing them on defense, but when they needed a takeaway, they got it.

It is crazy to think that a team that was carried for most of the year by the defense (holding opponents too much lower point totals) is now one that, unless they force a turnover, can't get off the field for some reason. The Cowboys finished that possession with a CeeDee Lamb touchdown.Īfter Prescott threw the early interception, I won't lie to you and say I wasn't concerned, but man Prescott locked in and played nearly a perfect game to help the offense score 40 points. T.Y Hilton's first catch of a Cowboy came on a 52-yard bomb that kept the drive alive. Dallas found themselves in a third-and-30, and you could feel the game nearly slipping away. My favorite play of the game came when the Cowboys trailed by seven in the fourth quarter. His only mistake was the early pick-6 that put the Cowboys in a hole. Prescott completed 27 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns. The Eagles had not allowed a 300-yard passer all season, and Kyler Murray was the highest this year, throwing for 250 before Prescott's performance yesterday.Īfter starting the game with a pick-6 on a throw that made me scratch my head, he dialed in big time-making play after play to keep the Cowboys in the game after the defense struggled most of the afternoon. Prescott has his first 300-yard passing game of the season, and he did it against the No. Let's remember that… But Jalen Hurts doesn't play defense, does he? So did the Eagles in the first matchup, and it was a three-point game in the 4th quarter. This was one of the best games Dak Prescott has played in a very long time for the Cowboys.īefore we get to the, they played a backup quarterback crowd.

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a back-and-forth contest that resulted in Dallas pulling out the victory 40-34. What a football game we got to witness yesterday afternoon on Christmas Eve.
