At Lincoln Financial Field, the Dallas Cowboys' efforts were not enough to secure victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. The visiting team managed to accumulate a total of 315 yards throughout the game. The Cowboys' rushing attack was somewhat effective, churning out 134 yards on the ground with an average of over five yards per carry and scoring one touchdown. Their passing game however struggled; despite completing 18 passes for 181 yards, they threw three interceptions and only managed one touchdown through the air.


The defense for Dallas put up respectable numbers with four sacks and six tackles for loss while hitting the opposing quarterback four times. They also defended three passes but were unable to force any turnovers or recoveries from fumbles during this matchup.


Special teams had mixed results; while their punting unit averaged nearly sixty yards per attempt and had a long punt of sixty yards, they did not manage to pin any within the twenty-yard line. On kickoffs though, all four resulted in touchbacks. The return game showed promise as well with ninety-six kickoff return yards including one that went for sixty-three yards.


Penalties were an issue for Dallas as they racked up ten penalties costing them seventy-two yards in total which contributed to their defeat. In terms of efficiency on critical downs, they converted forty percent on third down but failed on their single fourth-down attempt.


Looking ahead after this setback, fans can catch their next game when 'the' Detroit Lions visit 'the' Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on October 23rd at noon local time (5:00 PM GMT). This upcoming match will be broadcasted live on CBS where supporters can tune in to watch their team's performance.
