ARLINGTON, Texas \u2212 Gardner Minshew led two touchdown drives and Josh Sweat’s 42-yard interception return for a touchdown kept the Eagles in front well into the third quarter.<\/p>\n
And the defense, which struggled in the first half, tightened up in the second half.<\/p>\n
But it wasn’t enough as Dallas twice recovered from 10-point deficit. The game was tied 27-27 heading into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
In the first half, Dallas racked up 210 yards and converted 6 of 8 third downs. The Eagles did get a stop on 3rd-and-goal from the 3 late in the first half, when Dak Prescott threw incomplete into the end zone. The Cowboys settled for a field goal to tie the game at 17-all.<\/p>\n
Then Minshew took the Eagles down to the Cowboys’ 29, where they settled for Jake Elliott’s 47-yard field goal with 11 seconds left for a 20-17 halftime lead.<\/p>\n\n
Sweat gave the Eagles an early 10-0 lead. Prescott was trying to throw in the flat to a receiver, but he couldn’t get the ball over the 6-foot-5 Sweat, who picked it off then returned it for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
That gave the Eagles a 10-0 lead. But it didn’t last long as the Cowboys drove down the field, scoring on Ezekiel Elliott’s 1-yard TD run. Minshew then threw an interception that eventually led to Prescott’s 36-yard TD pass to CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys had the lead.<\/p>\n
Then Minshew drove the Eagles down the field, and scored on a QB sneak from the 1.<\/p>\n
