The Philadelphia Eagles maintained a stranglehold on the NFC East with a hard-fought 26-17 win over the Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
A.J. Brown led Philadelphia with five catches for 67 yards and one touchdown in a highly intense contest against Dallas cornerback Trevon Diggs.
DeVonta Smith had five catches for 44 yards, while Dallas Goedert held two catches for 22 yards on five targets.
The Eagles’ top-ranked offensive line held Micah Parsons without a sack and will now enter the bye week undefeated.
