Newy's Instant Analysis: Cowboys Fall in Philly

Dallas scored three points in the second half of the game

NBC 5 Sports Director Newy Scruggs delivers his instant analysis after the Cowboys lost 17-9 to the Eagles in Philadelphia in a game that could've clinched the division title for Dallas.

WHAT IT MEANS
The Cowboy lost a shot to wrap up the NFC East title by losing in Philadelphia 17-9.

TURNING POINT
The Cowboys were driving at the Eagles 25-yard line in the second quarter and fumbled the ball on third down and one. Rookie Tony Pollard coughed it up, and it eliminated a shot at a field goal that would've made the game 10-9.

In a slugfest, a team has to take advantage of scoring chances. Dallas did not do that.

Dallas’ slow start, Dak Prescott’s shoulder injury and everything else you need to know about the Cowboys’ 17-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday from NBC 5’s Pat Doney.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz delivered the game of his career, considering all that was on the line. He avoided sacks and did not commit a turnover. Wentz threw for 319 yards and one touchdown.

0-2
