Eagles vs. Cowboys live updates: Jalen Hurts, stingy defense lead the Birds to a dominant win in Dallas

Quarterback: B-

Jalen Hurts struggled for a long stretch of the first half. He had two turnovers and took several sacks partly because he held the ball too long. But the quarterback rebounded and had some game-turning throws and runs as the Eagles blew out the Cowboys. All told, Hurts completed 14 of 20 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. He rushed seven times for 56 yards and two scores.

But after four games without a turnover, Hurts gave the ball away twice before the break. The first was a red-zone interception to Trevon Diggs in the second quarter. The Cowboys cornerback made a nice play on the ball, but it looked like Hurts’ pass was a touch behind his intended target. Hurts a few drives later was strip sacked. All told, Hurts was sacked five times for a total of 26 on the season. It’s at the highest rate of his career.

Jalen Hurts bulldozed Cowboys corner Jourdan Lewis for a touchdown after a world-class fake handoff.

The eight-yard score, Hurts' second rushing touchdown of the game and 10th on the season, gave the Eagles a 28-6 lead as time wound down on the third quarter.

Dallas has turned to third-string quarterback Trey Lance, but it probably won't matter. The rout is on and this one is effectively over. The Eagles are going to win here for the first time since 2017.

The Eagles lead the Cowboys, 14-6, at halftime after a wild first half here at AT&T Stadium.

Jalen Hurts giveth — he had two turnovers in the first half — and Jalen Hurts taketh. He rebounded from those turnovers with a perfectly-executed touchdown drive before halftime that ended with an excellent play by the quarterback.

Hurts evaded pressure, found his footing, and connected with Dallas Goedert for a score to cap off a seven-play, 84-yard drive.

Cornerback Darius Slay has not been on the field since the last offensive play of the first Cowboys series. He appeared to land awkwardly on his left ankle.

Slay, who missed last week's game with a knee injury, paced around the sideline before going into the medical tent.

The Eagles say Slay is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The Tush Push lives.

After struggling with their signature play during last week's win over Jacksonville, the Eagles opened the scoring Sunday with it and took a 7-0 lead eight minutes into the first quarter.

The Eagles didn't need to move the ball far. After punting on their first drive, Dallas quarterback Cooper Rush, in for the injured Dak Prescott, fumbled a snap and the ball was recovered by Milton Williams.

Now near the midway point of the regular season, the Eagles enter a pivotal stretch well positioned for the upcoming playoff push but with plenty left to prove.

What might serve as the determining factor for how the team fares down the stretch? Here are the five biggest questions facing the Eagles in the second half of the regular season and beyond.

Oz Pearlman, also known as Oz the Mentalist, visited the Eagles during the preseason, according to a new video shared by Adam Schefter. The famous magician played a few tricks on A.J Brown, Darius Slay, Quinyon Mitchell, and Saquon Barkley that still have me reeling.

To start, Pearlman asked Brown to recall the name of his first-ever crush. With Brown’s eyes closed, Pearlman wrote down “Fantasia” on the paper — and he was right. Despite his insistence that there’s no way he could have found that out through social media background research, I don’t believe him.

Next, Oz asked Slay to pick a card and write a word on it. Mitchell, who was in the front of the room holding a penalty flag, guessed the card and the word after a snap from Pearlman — and after cutting open the flag, that same card (a two of diamonds), with the same word ("family") written on it, was inside.

No rest for the weary.

Following Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys’ game, the Eagles will have just a couple of days to prepare for Jayden Daniels and the first place Washington Commanders Thursday night in Philly on Amazon’s Prime Video.

The Commanders host the surprising Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at 1 p.m., so neither team will be at a rest advantage, something the Eagles complained to the league about about last season.

Nick Sirianni on Friday indicated that Jalen Hurts is dealing with an ankle issue, despite the quarterback being listed on the injury report with a “rest” designation.

The Eagles coach may have slipped up when asked Friday about what went into his quarterback’s load management day two days prior.

Here’s the awkward exchange that followed:

A dominant performance from Saquon Barkley and a decisive interception from Nakobe Dean helped preserve the Eagles’ fourth straight win, 28-23, over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, it’s Dallas week. The Eagles head to AT&T Stadium to face Cooper Rush and the 3-5 Cowboys.

The Eagles are currently seven-point favorites over the struggling Cowboys, who are coming off a third straight loss. Starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday.

Will the Eagles win in Dallas for the first time since 2017? Or will backup quarterback Rush lead the Cowboys to a win over the red-hot Eagles? Here’s what local and national media experts are saying.

The Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) face the Dallas Cowboys (3-5) Sunday afternoon, and for the first time in more than three decades, the game is airing on CBS.

The game is scheduled to start at 4:25 p.m. at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tx.

It’s the first time the two NFC East rivals have faced off on the network since 1993, when CBS still had the rights to the NFC package, which they ultimately lost to Fox. CBS landed the game thanks to the NFL’s new TV deals, which guarantee the network gets each NFC team at least once a season.
