The Dallas Cowboys had no business winning on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles. But they did. It was wonderful.
At one point, almost in the blink of an eye, the Cowboys were down 21-0 and all hope seemed lost. The second half was an uphill climb, to say the least, and carried what life remains for this season given that Dallas was 4-5-1 at the time. Falling to 4-6-1 would have put an end to even the most optimistic playoff conversations.
Our dreams can live another week though as the Cowboys are an even-steven .500 with the Kansas City...

The Cowboys sure know how to make the headlines. On Sunday, they dug themselves a 21-0 hole early before scoring 24 unanswered points to beat the Eagles, tying the franchise record for biggest comeback win. Early on, this game felt signed, sealed, and delivered for the Eagles, but these five plays were monumental in bringing Dallas back.
Immediately after the Eagles went up 21-0 thanks to their unstoppable tush push play, Dak Prescott threw an interception in the endzone that felt like the final nail in the coffin. But a three-and-out forced...

The Dallas Cowboys did it! We didn’t think they could do it, but they did it! In a game that went from excruciatingly painful to unbelievably exciting, the Cowboys pulled off the unthinkable, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. It was a crazy game that looked hopeless at first, but to the surprise of many, the resilience of the Cowboys went to a whole new level. Brian Schottenheimer came away with his biggest win to date and kept the Cowboys’ playoff hopes alive. Here are ten thoughts on the wild Cowboys comeback.

Well, tell me if you have heard this one before, Jerry will probably wait way too long to sign a really good player and only see his value get higher and higher!
I am still trying to catch my breath after the thrilling second half we got to watch the Cowboys play yesterday.
They tied the biggest comeback in team history down 21 points to the Eagles, scoring 24 unanswered to win the game 24-21, and George Pickens was a huge reason why.
If you watched the game yesterday, Pickens was one of the main reasons,...

Dallas completes the comeback behind Pickens, Dak, and the defense.
Second Half Miracle
Let me first start by saying the defense deserves some flowers for the way they performed in the second half. I can’t say it enough, and Dak Prescott showed up time and time again when he needed to!
The defense was able to keep the Cowboys in the game from the start of the third quarter.
This Eagles defense the last two games had...

When a team like the Philadelphia Eagles scores 21 points in the first 19 minutes, while holding their opponent scoreless for the first 29 minutes, they almost always win the game.
Unless…
The offense quits doing what it had been doing those first 19 minutes. It also doesn’t help when said offense, the defense, and even the special teams units start making dumb plays.
Big gains getting wiped out by penalty.
Turnovers wiped out by penalty. Your star running back, Saquon Barkley, fumbling the ball.
Then there is your punt returner fielding a punt at the two-yard line and promptly...

The Dallas Cowboys just pulled off a stunner. After falling into a 21-0 hole early in the second quarter, almost everyone felt like it was over. But you know the saying, it’s never over until it’s over. The Cowboys came to life, especially on the defense, and shut out the Eagles for the rest of the game. Dallas’ offense built on that and they won 24-21 to keep their playoff hunt on life-support.
Now they have a short week as it’s the annual Thanksgiving game. The opponents for Turkey Day – the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs just pulled off...

What a game! Just when you thought the Dallas Cowboys were ready to implode into an epic meltdown in front of the home crowd, they launched a furious comeback to beat their bitter rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. For most of the game, Dallas looked completely out of sorts, making one crushing blunder after another. Heading into halftime, the deficit, while only two scores, seemed almost insurmountable for how the Cowboys had played up until that point.
The Cowboys couldn’t hang on to the football and failed to execute in the red zone, while also being unable to keep the Eagles’...

Cowboys fans had seen this movie before. Sloppy play, lack of focus from star players, and some big, controversial calls from the referees to boot. By the time Jalen Hurts got pushed by his tush to score his third touchdown on the day and put the Eagles up 21-0, just about every fan was checking out. It didn’t matter that the game was only 28 seconds into the second quarter, Cowboys fans had seen enough: this was over.
The players didn’t get the memo.
Philadelphia went up 21-0 early in the second quarter, and the way they got there can...

For the first time this season, the Dallas Cowboys have finally stacked a couple of back-to-back wins together with the 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon. Nothing about this game was pretty, which is to be expected from two bitter division rivals. Both teams played hard to the final whistle, but it was Dallas who eventually emerged victorious.
This Week 12 matchup was a roller coaster of emotions from start to end. The Cowboys looked as if they were playing to lose early on, but clawed their way back in the second half. As you can probably imagine,...

In the biggest game of the Dallas Cowboys season, it went exactly the way that all of us fans figured it would until the second half.
After the first drive of the game, I thought this one would be a wrap pretty early, but what happened in the second half, I did not see coming, quite frankly, I don’t think anyone did!
The Dallas Cowboys tied the franchise record for their biggest comeback, down 21 points.
After a crazy second half, they were able to win the biggest game of the year, 24-21.
This was a game that the Cowboys...
