Eagles vs. Cowboys: Score and Twitter Reaction for Sunday Night Football
- Updated: October 31, 2016
After overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, Dak Prescott led the Dallas Cowboys to a 29-23 overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night.
The rookie quarterback threw a game-tying touchdown to Dez Bryant with three minutes remaining in regulation and followed it up with a scramble and game-winning touchdown pass to Jason Witten to clinch the win in overtime.
The NFL provided a look at the game-winning score:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter argued Prescott shouldn’t lose his job to Tony Romo when the veteran is healthy:
Some players rise to the moment.Those players don’t get benched.

The victory gives the Cowboys their sixth win in a row as they extended their lead in the NFC East.
Prescott had an up-and-down day, struggling with accuracy and decision-making for stretches but coming through in clutch moments. He finished 19-of-39 for 287 passing yards and two touchdowns while adding 38 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Bryant also came up big in his first game back since suffering a knee injury in Week 3, ending the night with four catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Ezekiel Elliott ended his run of four straight games of over 100 yards, but he still totaled 96 rushing yards on 22 carries to go with his 56 receiving yards.
Darren Sproles did his best to help the Eagles as the de facto No. 1 running back, finishing with 15 carries for 86. He also passed LaDainian Tomlinson for the eighth-most career all-purpose yards in NFL history, per the team’s official Twitter account.
Though Carson Wentz also performed well for the Eagles with 202 passing yards and a touchdown, he didn’t do enough to help the team win.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports noted the difference between the two young quarterbacks:
Solid for Dak, made mistakes, went through adversity, stayed “composed” & fought back. Composed was word coaches used most when touting Dak
