The Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on "Monday Night Football" Oct. 26, covering as 4.5-point road favorites. Running back Javonte Williams carried 25 times for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown, and quarterback Dak Prescott added a short touchdown run that extended Dallas's lead to 28-21 in the third quarter before Williams scored again late to seal it.
Philadelphia started backup quarterback Tanner McKee, with Jalen Hurts out for the season and Saquon Barkley sidelined by a hamstring injury, leaving the Eagles without their top two offensive players. The Eagles moved the ball effectively on their first two drives but could not sustain the pace as Dallas's running game took over in the second half. Dallas improved to 3-4 on the season, while Philadelphia fell to 2-5.
The community had given the Cowboys an 80% chance to win, correctly favoring Dallas given Philadelphia's injury-depleted offense. The final margin, 17 points, exceeded the pregame 4.5-point spread, reflecting how much Hurts's and Barkley's absences reshaped the matchup once the game began.
