In a thrilling matchup in Dallas, the Cowboys topped the Eagles 52-42 in Week 12 of the 2026 season. Both teams entered the game vying for playoff positioning, but it was the Cowboys who emerged victorious, showcasing their offensive prowess in a high-scoring affair. Jalen Hurts shone for the Eagles, throwing for an impressive 410 yards and five touchdowns, proving once again why he is a top-tier quarterback. However, it was Jaydon Blue's explosive performance on the ground that helped the Cowboys secure the win, as he racked up 171 rushing yards, consistently breaking through the Eagles' defense. DeVonta Smith also had a standout game for Philadelphia, amassing 211 receiving yards and keeping the pressure on Dallas throughout. Defensively, the Eagles struggled to contain the Cowboys' offense, which capitalized on several key moments to seize control of the game. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Dallas scored back-to-back touchdowns, shifting momentum and putting the Eagles on the back foot. While Andrew Mukuba led Philadelphia with six tackles and Michael Carter II recorded a sack, it was not enough to overcome the Cowboys' relentless attack.
