ARLINGTON, Texas — While the Philadelphia Eagles were looking for a fifth-straight win, they could not find it—scoring 24 points in a row without an answer, the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a 24-21 victory over their NFC East rival.
What head coach Brian Schottenheimer said was a favorite moment: kicker Brandon Aubrey’s walk-off field goal, where he thought to himself “man, we won that one.”
The 21-point come-from-behind victory ties Dallas’ largest comeback win in franchise history.
The Cowboys gave up three scores—a touchdown from Eagles’ wide receiver AJ Brown and two from quarterback Jalen Hurts—before Cowboys QB Dak Prescott found WR George Pickens to get on the scoresheet prior to heading into the half.
Prescott found tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford for a TD to pull the Cowboys within seven points, making it 21-14 before Prescott dove into the end zone himself soon after to tie it all up.
Aubrey’s FG was the difference in the score, but Prescott gives credit to the defense for shutting out the Eagles in the second half.
It was a tale of two halves: running back Javontae Williams describing the first as “inconsistent” with all of the self-inflicted penalties and drops, and the second half being about “execution.”
When the Cowboys were down 21 points, Schottenheimer said he thought to himself “just keep going.”
He learned from now Raiders head coach Pete Carroll, that “games are won in the 4th quarter,” and this one was.
Pickens’ 9 receptions for 146 yards and a TD led all receivers in this one, also surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in 2025. He’s second in the league with 1,054 receiving yards on the season so far.
Prescott going 23 of 35 for 354 yards, including his TD, passed Tony Romo for most passing yards in franchise history.
Dallas is 3-1 against the NFC East this season, with a perfect 3-0 record when facing divisional opponents at home, the sixth time in the last 10 years that the Cowboys have gone undefeated at AT&T Stadium against the division. And now, Prescott is 22-2 against NFC East opponents when playing at home—the highest home winning percentage by any quarterback against one’s own division since the NFL merger.
Dallas has also thrown for at least 230 passing yards in each of its last ten games—this past one having 354 yards in the air—and has now matched its longest streak doing so, which spanned the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
A Week 12 matchup that was just as dramatic as Week 1, but ending in a different result.
The Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs for Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day. Kick off is at 3:30 p.m. CST.
