Dallas have been down and out at 21-0 down in opposition to the reigning Tremendous Bowl champions, so how on earth did they produce their joint-best comeback ever?
The feelings of a primary residence recreation since Marshawn Kneeland’s tragic dying might have performed a component, however technically it was a combination of Dak Prescott’s willpower and a defence that pounced on uncommon errors by the Eagles.
Prescott eclipsed Tony Romo’s data for passing yards (now 34,378) and game-winning drives (25) with an all-action show – his diving landing personifying his all-action show.
Philly squandered a lead of 21 factors or extra for the primary time since 1999, with simply their second recreation with a number of turnovers this season – the opposite being one other dangerous NFC East loss on the Giants.
Together with 14 penalties for 96 yards, the offensive malaise that hit Jalen Hurts after what – for him – was an explosive begin was large. He’d solely handed for 200-plus yards in 4 video games earlier than Sunday, he had greater than 150 within the first half alone in Dallas.
But from the time Philadelphia went 21-0 up their offence derailed spectacularly – with 4 straight punts, a missed subject purpose after which a fumble handing probability after probability to the Cowboys.
The Eagles defence is good, it truly is, however an offence that is not eclipsed 21 factors in 5 of seven video games (three losses) is now an enormous fear, because the items are all there however it’s simply not clicking.
Nick Sirianni’s recreation is all about profitable the large moments, the defence retains them in it and what offence there may be does nearly sufficient – if it may possibly’t even do this and now the self-discipline and ball safety is breaking down, there could possibly be hassle forward.
