Trailing by 18, the Eagles finally got a spark when Fletcher Cox strip-sacked Dak Prescott and rookie Jalen Carter returned it 42 yards for the score to make it a 24-13 game. The play came after punts on consecutive drives by the Eagles offense to start the second half.

Both the Eagles’ offense and defense have struggled all game, but now, early in the third quarter, Philadelphia has a little momentum.
