Dallas Cowboys Come Back from 21-Point Deficit to Beat Philadelphia Eagles
In a stunning turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys staged an incredible comeback to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Trailing by as many as 21 points early in the second quarter, Dak Prescott led his team back into the game with pinpoint accuracy and clutch performances.
As the clock ticked down, the tension mounted for the Eagles, who had dominated the early going but were unable to maintain their lead. Despite a valiant effort from star receiver A.J. Brown, who had a big impact on the 21-0 deficit, Philadelphia's offense faltered in the fourth quarter, allowing the Cowboys to stay within striking distance.
The stage was set for a dramatic finish, and it did not disappoint. With just seconds remaining, Brandon Aubrey booted a 42-yard field goal as time expired, securing the win for Dallas. The Cowboys' victory marked their first at AT&T Stadium since Marshawn Kneeland's passing following news of defensive end death, while for the Eagles, it was a crushing loss that saw them lose with a lead of at least 21 points for the first time since 1999.
The game was marked by mistakes on both sides, but Prescott's poise and leadership ultimately proved to be too much for the Eagles to handle. Dallas' win extended their home winning streak against NFC East opponents to 19, while also snapping a drought that had seen them last beat an opponent trailing by three touchdowns in 2014.
