The Dallas Cowboys did not score 40 points at home — a seemingly rare occurrence. Don’t mistake that for a lack of dominance.

Dallas rolled the Philadelphia Eagles, 33-13, Sunday, and all head coach Mike McCarthy could do was smile as he shook hands with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Dallas jumped ahead of Philadelphia in the NFC East standings with the victory.

The defense kept the Eagles’ offense out of the end zone – rookie Jalen Carter’s 42-yard fumble return serving as the lone Philadelphia touchdown, and quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 271 yards on 24-of-39 passing with two touchdowns.

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey continued his historic stretch of consecutive field goals to start a career, as the 28-year-old rookie has now drilled his first 30 attempts in the league and was 4-for-3 on the night. He did it in arduous fashion against Philadelphia, connecting from distances of 45, 50, 59 and 60 yards. Aubrey became the first player in NFL history to make two field goals of 59 yards or more in the same game.

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson continued his breakout year with a team-high 72 receiving yards on six catches. Receivers CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup caught touchdowns.

Three of Philadelphia’s best playmakers — quarterback Jalen Hurts and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith — had the ball knocked out of their hands. Each time the pigskin wound up in the hands of a Dallas defender. The Eagles now have 19 turnovers on the season, Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore had a team-high nine tackles and forced one of their fumbles.

The Eagles still control their own destiny in the NFC East race, but for now, they are the No. 5 seed in the conference with Dallas slotting into the No. 2 spot behind the San Francisco 49ers. — Chris Bumbaca

Prescott was accurate and poised as he took advantage of a leaky Philadelphia secondary.

The Cowboys quarterback finished 24-of-39 passing for 271 yards and two touchdowns, resulting in a 99.4 passer rating.

The Cowboys had five players with more than 35 receiving yards in what was a balanced passing attack led by Prescott.

Cowboys defense: The Cowboys defense didn’t give up a touchdown. Philadelphia’s only touchdown came on a Jalen Carter scoop and score. Jalen Hurts and company never found a rhythm against Dallas. When the Eagles had promising drives going, they ended abruptly on fumbles.

Dallas forced three takeaways. The Cowboys forced a fumble on Philadelphia’s first possession and it set the tone for the whole game.

Brandon Aubrey continues to remain perfect: Aubrey is automatic for the Cowboys. He made each one of his four field goals in the win.

The Cowboys’ rookie kicker made a 60-yard field goal and added another successful 59-yard field goal for good measure. Aubrey is the first kicker in NFL history to make two 59-plus field goals in the same game.

Aubrey’s easiest field goal was a 45-yarder in the fourth quarter that gave Dallas a 30-13 advantage. He then added another 50-yard field goal in garbage time.

Aubrey has converted all 30 of his field goal attempts this season. He’s perfect for his career thus far.

San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers (10-3) have the best record in the NFC as a result of the Eagles’ loss. San Francisco also holds tiebreakers over the Eagles (10-3) and Cowboys (10-3) because of wins over both NFC East squads.

San Francisco controls its own destiny in the NFC.

LOSERS

Eagles’ ball security: Jalen Hurts lost a fumble, A.J. Brown lost a fumble and DeVonta Smith lost a fumble as well. A trifecta for three prominent players on Philly’s offense. The Eagles will have a difficult time winning any game when three of their offensive stars lose fumbles.

Eagles offense: Philly’s offense went missing in Dallas. The Eagles had ball security issues and went 0-1 in the red zone. The Eagles looked out of sync and couldn’t sustain any drives in the loss. The Eagles offense failed to score a touchdown for the first time since the wild card game in the 2019 playoffs. — Tyler Dragon
