Cooper Rush's fumble gives the Eagles the early lead on Jalen Hurts' TD

Cooper Rush is 5-1 as the starter for Dak Prescott. It makes work more difficult today.

Rush dropped a snap on a play-action pass while pulling the ball away from running back Rico Dowdle. Defensive tackle Milton Williams recovered at the Dallas 17 and took the ball away from Rush on the ground as the two fought for it.

The Eagles needed four plays to score.

Jalen Hurts scored on the quarterback push play from the 1-yard line to give the Eagles an early 7-0 lead. Hurts completed a 12-yard pass to Saquon Barkley to the 1 on third-and-6.

The Cowboys went 32 yards in nine plays on their next drive to cut their deficit to 7-3.

Eagles cornerback Darius Slay injured his ankle and is questionable whether he will return.
