  • Eagles

The Cowboys are struggling this season and played Sunday’s game without Dak Prescott. But it was still incredibly satisfying to see the Birds roll into Dallas and crush Dem Boyz, 34-6.

The Eagles’ fifth straight win was an absolute rout. Jalen Hurts scored four total touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) and was pulled with almost the entire fourth quarter remaining. His defense forced five turnovers.

When the smoke cleared–and the blinding sun in Jerryworld set–the Birds found themselves on top of the NFC East at 7-2.

Here’s a look at the top five plays:

5 - Zack Baun forces his second fumble of the game

Baun was everywhere again in this one, leading the team with eight tackles and forcing two fumbles. The game was already 31-6 when Baun forced the second fumble, or the play could be ranked higher.

When the game was still scoreless, the Birds faced a 3rd & 6 from the Dallas 13 yard line. Hurts hit Barkley with a pass well behind the line of scrimmage, around the 22. With a pair of defenders right in front of him, and about four or five more defenders in pursuit, Barkley somehow made it to the goal line. Hurts scored a touchdown on the next play.

3 - Zack Baun forces his first fumble of the game 

The Cowboys had exactly one long offensive drive on Sunday. In the first quarter, with the Eagles leading 7-3, Cooper Rush led them 77 yards to the Eagles six yard line. But Baun forced an Ezekiel Elliott fumble, recovered in the end zone by Cooper DeJean a/k/a Cooper DeJawn.

2 - Hurts hits A.J. Brown in third quarter 

This was just a beautiful deep ball by Hurts, connecting with A.J. Brown down the sideline for 44 yards. The drive ended in a touchdown and pretty much put the game away at 28-6.

1 - Jalen Carter stuffs Cowboys RB Dowdle 

In the first quarter, after the first Baun forced fumble, the Eagles’ offense gave the ball right back with a fumble of their own. Dallas took over at the Philadelphia six yard line, and a touchdown would have given them a 10-7 lead.

But the Birds’ defense held strong. Elliott was stopped after a three-yard rush on first down. Cooper Rush missed CeeDee Lamb with a second down pass. And on third down, Jalen Carter bulldozed his way into the backfield to hit Rico Dowdle for a two-yard loss.

Dallas kicked a field goal, the Eagles held a 7-6 lead, and the good guys never looked back.
