New York – Dak Prescott passed for three touchdowns and 212 yards as the Dallas Cowboys bounced back on Monday with a 38-21 thumping of the injury-ravaged Philadelphia Eagles, who plunged to a fifth straight NFL loss.

The Cowboys, whose offense had misfired in back-to-back losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers, pulled emphatically clear of their NFC East rivals in the second half to move to 3-4.

CeeDee Lamb made two superb touchdown catches and George Pickens added a third, while the Cowboys also ran for 204 yards spearheaded by Javonte Williams, who had a touchdown and a career-high 155 rushing yards.
