Dak Prescott recorded his sixth career three-touchdown game against Philadelphia to help the Dallas Cowboys move to 3-4 on the season.

Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Monday night. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Dallas, moving the team to 3-4 and keeping pace with the 4-2-1 New York Giants in the NFC East. According to ESPN Analytics, the win increased the Cowboys' chances of winning the division to 57%.

For the first time since 1983, the Cowboys recorded over 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in a single game against the Eagles. Williams secured the result with a 2-yard touchdown run with 2:21 remaining in the fourth quarter on his 25th carry of the night. Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb for two scores and found George Pickens for another, marking his sixth career game with three passing touchdowns against Philadelphia.

Defensively, Dallas limited the Eagles despite allowing touchdowns on the opening possessions of both halves. DeMarvion Overshown intercepted Tanner McKee once, while Quinnen Williams and Donovan Ezeiruaku each recorded a sack. The Cowboys' offense, which had scored only 29 combined points in the previous two games, finished with 38 points under playcaller Brian Schottenheimer.

The Cowboys return to AT&T Stadium to face the 2-5 Arizona Cardinals next Sunday. Dallas has not won consecutive games since a three-game streak during Weeks 11-13 of the previous season.
