We Punched Back Cowboys Cant Overcome Mi

The Dallas Cowboys visited inhospitable territory this weekend as they prepared for a Sunday Night Football matchup with the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.It ended in a 26-17 lo s ... and a moment of reflection from coach Mike McCarthy as he summarized the comeback effort."We punched back,'' he said with some level of pride.How did it all break down? Our chronological look ...The Cowboys are enjoying a surprising four Anthony Miller Jersey -game winning streak with backup . ... and that status will continue, as - will ... maybe one last time.Rush hasn't put up imposing numbers statistically, but his performances have been steady and effective, and he's avoided mistakes. while being sacked just five times during the winning streak.But the Eagles can boast a streak of five games won since the season started. In fact, Philadelphia has now won eight consecutive regular-season games dating back to last season, the longest streak in the league.How can the Cowboys maintain the momentum gained with Rush at quarterback and walk out of Philly with a win over the yet-undefeated Eagles?It begins with the play of the defense. The Eagles have a good offensive line, but the Cowboys' defense is presumably better. Dallas ranks seventh in the league allowing 311.4 points per game, but more importantly, third in the NFL allowing just 14.4 points per game. Only Buffalo and San Francisco are better.The defense has played a perfect strategy of "bend, but don't break" this year, and it's benefitted the offense.That trend will have to continue on Sunday night, as the Eagles rank second in the league with 419.8 yards per game, and fifth in scoring at 27.0 points per game.It'll be up to A defensive touchdown and/or takeaway wouldn't hurt things, either.Another key to a Cowboys win will be the play of Rush, who will have to continue his consistent and mistake-free play against Philadelphia. Last week, Dallas beat Los Buster Skrine Jersey Angeles despite Rush throwing for just 102 yards. He may need a better showing to beat the Eagles, as the Cowboys probably won't be able to rush for 160-plus yards as they did against the Rams. Rush might not need to pa s for 350 yards, but he's got to get the pa sing game going in order to open up the run game against a strong defensive front for Philadelphia. .But the key for Rush may be "game management.'' Dallas can't gift the Eagles any po se sions in the form of turnovers.And lastly, it would be nice to see the Cowboys' offense play with a short field for a couple of po se sions. That can be accomplished by return man KaVontae Turpin showing what he showed us in the preseason. Turpin may need to break a couple of returns, if not for a touchdown, then at least into Eagles territory for a short field for Rush and the offense.Dallas is a six-point underdog and yet has Tarik Cohen Jersey a good chance at a win Sunday night, but it might take a near-perfect performance against an excellent Eagles team on their turf.Make sure to follow along with in-game updates as they happen with Cowboys vs. Eagles will appear here after kickoff...FIRST QUARTER: Eagles 0, Cowboys 0Dallas takes the ball from its own 16.Lamb runs right side for eight yards on first down then Elliott runs right guard for just one yard.On 3rd and 2 the Cowboys are short as the Eagles' defense holds Dallas to a three-and-out.Anger punts 60 yards to the PHI 15, and Covey returns to the PHI 29 for 14 yards.Hurts pa ses to Smith for 13 yards to the PHI 42 before Hurts is sacked at the PHI 33 by Dorance Armstrong for a lo s of nine yards.The Dallas defense holds the Philly offense as Hurts mi ses Brown on an easy pa s deep on the left side.The Philly kick goes to the DAL 12 where Turpin returns to the DAL 24 for 12 yards.The Cowboys go 17 yards in five plays and the offense stalls.The Anger punt goes 59 yards to the end zone for a touchback.
