Cowboys rout Eagles 38-21 on MNF: Prescott throws three TDs as Packers host Panthers next

Prescott silences the Philadelphia faithful

The Dallas Cowboys answered their critics in emphatic fashion on Monday night, 26 October, marching into Lincoln Financial Field and dismantling the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21. With Philadelphia starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined by a high ankle sprain, the Eagles leaned on third-year backup Tanner McKee. While McKee fought admirably with 269 passing yards and two touchdowns, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott put on a clinic in command and efficiency.

Prescott completed 21 of 27 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns without committing a turnover. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb exploited single coverage repeatedly, hauling in seven catches for 116 yards, including a breathtaking 44-yard touchdown sprint down the left sideline in the fourth quarter. The win improves Dallas to 3-4, reviving their NFC wild-card hopes, while the reeling Eagles plummet to 2-5 under intense local scrutiny.

Packers and Panthers open Week 8 at Lambeau

The Week 7 conclusion leaves the 6-0 Minnesota Vikings as the NFL’s solitary undefeated franchise following Sunday’s shock defeats for Kansas City in Seattle and San Francisco in Atlanta. Attention now turns immediately to Thursday Night Football, where the 5-2 Green Bay Packers host the 3-4 Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field.

Jordan Love has thrown for 14 touchdowns through seven games, piloting a balanced Packers offense that averages 27.4 points per contest. Carolina and young quarterback Bryce Young face a daunting test in the freezing Wisconsin night, requiring their stout ground attack to keep Green Bay’s ferocious pass rush off balance. With the playoff picture tightening, prime time continues to deliver relentless drama.
