It was a statement night in the NFC East as the Dallas Cowboys rolled past the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Washington Commanders and New York Giants made news off the field.
Cowboys roll, Prescott leads the way
In Dallas, Dak Prescott took control of Monday Night Football. As reported by La Presse, the Cowboys quarterback threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-21 win over the Eagles, with two of those scores going to CeeDee Lamb. Running back Javonte Williams also played a key role in the victory. The result moves Dallas to 3-4 and keeps the Cowboys firmly in the NFC East race.
Off the field, CBS Sports notes that the Cowboys have tapped Miranda Lambert as the halftime show performer for their traditional Thanksgiving game against the Eagles, underscoring how central this rivalry will remain to the national spotlight.
Shorthanded Eagles slip to 2-5
The loss stings for a Philadelphia team already ravaged by injuries. According to Pro Football Rumors, the Eagles activated guard Landon Dickerson and tight end Eli Stowers from injured reserve ahead of the matchup with Dallas, looking for reinforcements. The same outlet reports that Tanner McKee made his second start of the season in place of Jalen Hurts. Even with those returns, the Eagles fall to 2-5 and lose more ground in the division.
Commanders’ trade posture, Giants riding momentum
The Washington Commanders were on bye but still in the rumor mill. Sitting at 1-4, they are not in position to be buyers, and Pro Football Rumors indicates the team could be willing to listen to various trade offers as the deadline approaches.
The New York Giants, leading the division at 4-2, did not play Monday but stayed in the headlines. CBS Sports lists the Giants among the NFL’s biggest Week 7 winners, without detailing why. Elsewhere, Pro Football Rumors highlights that former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, now with the Indianapolis Colts, will remain the starter there, a reminder of the organizational reset New York has undergone at the position.
CBS Sports also points out that early Week 8 lines have flipped for the Eagles-Commanders matchup, suggesting the betting market is quickly recalibrating expectations for both struggling NFC East teams.
