Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys: Box score, players stats, and summary feat. Saquon Barkley, Cooper Rush

The Philadelphia Eagles played the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 17. The Eagles came into this game with a 12-3 record and in a firm position to win the NFC East as well as finish the regular season as the second seed in the NFC.

The Cowboys were 7-8 coming into this game, having won three of their last four. Dallas has done well without their starting quarterback, Dak Prescott, who's out with a hamstring injury.

Usually, the matchup between the Eagles and the Cowboys is filled with stars, but unfortunately, that isn't the case this time around. Not only Prescott but CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Hurts are not available for Week 18.

Kenny Pickett replaced Hurts for the Eagles, while the Cowboys continued with Cooper Rush at the quarterback position. Two interceptions from the Cowboys quarterback helped the Eagles take a 24-7 lead at halftime.

Philadelphia never looked back in the second back and completely dominated the Cowboys. They won 41-7 and also sealed the NFC East division title.

Eagles vs Cowboys summary

Dallas Cowboys v Philadelphia Eagles - Source: Getty

The Eagles offense looked prolific even without Hurts. The trio of Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith made things easier for Pickett and Tanner McKee to help the team record a blowout win over the Cowboys.

Rush and the Cowboys' offense failed to get anything going, as the highly touted Eagles' defense once again showed why they are among the best in the league. C.J. Gardner Johnson caught two interceptions off Rush, including one pick-six.

This was a brutal loss for the Cowboys, and it could impact Jerry Jones' decision regarding Mike McCarthy's future with the team. The head coach is in the final year of his contract with the Cowboys and could possibly depart in the offseason.

Barkley's 167-rushing yards performance has put his season total to 2,005 yards. He is now 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing yards record of 2,105 yards.

The Eagles will play the New York Giants in Week 18, and it will be right for Barkley to achieve the milestone against his former team. However, whether or not Philadelphia will play its starters in that game remains to be seen.
