Cowboys dominate Eagles in Philadelphia, intent on making Sunday Night Football a blowout. Prescott throws 2 touchdowns, Aubrey kicks 60-yard field goal.

The Dallas Cowboys put on a dominant performance in the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles, taking a commanding 24-6 lead into halftime. They outperformed the Eagles in nearly every aspect, with more plays, first downs, yards, and time of possession.

Despite the Eagles not punting in the first half, they were unable to find the end zone, with kicker Jake Elliott only managing field goals of 52 and 44 yards.

The Cowboys scored touchdowns through CeeDee Lamb's 13-yard reception and Rico Dowdle's 1-yard run. There was controversy surrounding Dowdle's score, with head coach Mike McCarthy challenging the officials' ruling that he was short of the goal line.

The Cowboys' final points of the half came with just 20 seconds remaining, as Michael Gallup caught a 1-yard reception. The drive was aided by a crucial interference call and facemask penalty against the Eagles, giving the Cowboys a free 25 yards.

Dak Prescott had a solid first half, completing 14-of-23 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns, with Lamb being his top target with five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle also contributed on the ground and through the air.

Brandon Aubrey continued his impressive record of consecutive made field goals, kicking a 60-yarder to extend his NFL record to 27-of-27.

On the Eagles' side, Jalen Hurts struggled, going 7-of-13 for 92 yards and taking a sack from Micah Parsons. He also lost a fumble on a hit by Donovan Wilson. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown were the top receivers for the Eagles, each with two catches for 39 and 38 yards, respectively.
