The 9-yard pass to George Pickens that broke Tony Romo’s franchise passing record came at a pivotal moment—with Dallas trailing by 14 points at the start of the third quarter.
The interception occurred in the end zone on a first-and-goal situation, thrown after a false start penalty by Tyler Guyton pushed Dallas back from the 1-yard line. Despite this setback, Prescott bounced back and led the offense to three consecutive scoring drives that tied the game.

George Pickens led all receivers with 9 receptions for 146 yards and 1 touchdown. The 1-yard touchdown reception right before halftime got Dallas on the board and provided crucial momentum heading into the locker room.

Philadelphia Eagles Player Stats
Passing Stats
Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 passes for 289 yards and 1 touchdown. While his stats appear respectable, the Eagles’ offense completely stalled after building the early lead.
Jalen Hurts started hot, completing passes on Philadelphia’s first three touchdown drives with precision and poise. However, as the Cowboys adjusted defensively, Hurts struggled to maintain consistency, particularly on third downs where the Eagles went just 5-for-12 on conversion attempts.
Key Passing Statistics:
- Completion percentage: 69.2%
- Yards per attempt: 7.4 yards
- Longest completion: 41 yards (to DeVonta Smith)
- Passer rating: 96.7
- Times sacked: 2
The quarterback stats tell the story of an offense that couldn’t sustain drives when it mattered most. After the first 20 minutes of brilliance, Hurts and the Eagles managed just 116 yards over their final seven possessions, failing to score any points.
Rushing Stats
Jalen Hurts was Philadelphia’s leading rusher with 33 yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 carries. His dual-threat ability created problems for Dallas early, with touchdown runs of 7 yards and 1 yard (on the Tush Push) giving the Eagles their commanding lead.
Saquon Barkley rushed 11 times for 26 yards but his biggest impact came negatively—his first fumble of the season in the fourth quarter gave Dallas momentum at a critical juncture.
| Player | Carries | Yards | Average | Long | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts | 7 | 33 | 4.7 | 15 | 2 |
| Saquon Barkley | 11 | 26 | 2.4 | 8 | 0 |
| Will Shipley | 2 | 7 | 3.5 | 5 | 0 |
| Total | 20 | 66 | 3.3 | 15 | 2 |
The Eagles’ rushing yards of just 66 represented a significant decline from their season averages. Dallas’ defensive adjustments neutralized Philadelphia’s ground game, forcing Jalen Hurts into more passing situations where the Cowboys could generate pressure.
Receiving Stats
A.J. Brown led the Eagles with 8 receptions for 110 yards and 1 touchdown. The explosive receiver caught the game’s opening score—a 16-yard touchdown that set the tone for Philadelphia’s fast start. However, A.J. Brown was mostly quiet after halftime as Dallas focused defensive attention his way.
DeVonta Smith added 5 catches for 76 yards, including a spectacular 41-yard reception on third-and-12 that extended Philadelphia’s third touchdown drive.
Dallas Goedert contributed 4 receptions for 38 yards, serving as a reliable target over the middle for Jalen Hurts.
| Receiver | Receptions | Yards | Average | Long | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A.J. Brown | 8 | 110 | 13.8 | 31 | 1 |
| DeVonta Smith | 5 | 76 | 15.2 | 41 | 0 |

| Others | 4 | 20 | 5.0 | 8 | 0 |
| Total | 27 | 289 | 10.7 | 41 | 1 |
Despite the strong individual performances, the Eagles’ receiving stats highlight their inability to generate explosive plays in the second half. The passing yards of 289 looked solid on paper but came primarily in the first half.
Defensive Stats
Nakobe Dean recorded 1 sack and showcased his speed and instincts throughout the game. On the opening drive, Dean provided tight coverage on Javonte Williams to force an incompletion on fourth down, setting the tone for Philadelphia’s defensive start.
Zack Baun led the Eagles with 9 total tackles (3 solo), displaying consistent tackling and pursuit throughout the contest.
Reed Blankenship made a critical play early in the second quarter, intercepting Dak Prescott in the end zone to preserve the 21-0 lead when Dallas threatened to score from the 1-yard line.
| Defender | Total Tackles | Solo | Assists | Sacks | TFL | INT | FF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zack Baun | 9 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Nakobe Dean | 7 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 |

| Reed Blankenship | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Jalen Carter | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The defensive stats show a unit that dominated early but couldn’t generate the crucial stops needed late. The Eagles’ inability to force a punt after their 21-point lead proved costly.
