Defensive Highlights and Special Teams Analysis


The Cowboys' defense showcased moments of brilliance amidst adversity. Micah Parsons and DeMarvion Overshown led an aggressive defensive front with two sacks each, contributing significantly to five total sacks against the Eagles. Parsons also forced a fumble, highlighting his impact on defense. Trevon Diggs made his presence felt in the secondary by securing an interception and defending one pass.


Special teams had their moments as well, notably through Bryan Anger's punting efforts which included two punts landing inside the 20-yard line out of six attempts for a total of 304 yards. On field goals, Brandon Aubrey was perfect on the day, converting both attempts with his longest being from 46 yards out.

Offensive Struggles Continue


On offense, challenges persisted for Dallas as they struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Cooper Rush and Trey Lance combined for only 66 passing yards and one interception without managing any touchdowns. The rushing attack offered some relief with Rico Dowdle leading in yardage at 53 yards over twelve carries but still failed to reach end zone.


Receiving efforts were led by CeeDee Lamb who caught six passes for twenty-one yards but like his teammates couldn't capitalize fully during critical moments in red zone situations which remained unfruitful for Dallas.
