Story summary

As of October 27, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 in a critical NFC East matchup on Monday Night Football. Both teams entered the game at 2-4 but faced different narratives; the Cowboys were struggling with recent losses and coaching questions, while the Eagles had lost four straight games after quarterback Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season due to blood clots. Dak Prescott led the Cowboys back to form with two touchdowns, responding well to increased defensive pressure that has hindered him recently. The win helps the Cowboys get back on track in a competitive division race.
