Dak Prescott, Dallas lament missed chances in 28-23 loss to Philadelphia
Jalen Hurts braved a direct hit on his injured left knee to throw for 207 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for another tush push score to lead the Philadelphia Eagles over the Dallas Cowboys 28-23 on Sunday night.
The Eagles are the only 8-1 team in the NFL.
The Eagles did all they could on Dallas' final drive to cough up the game. Dak Prescott needed to move the Cowboys 86 yards in 46 seconds for the potential winning score — and promptly got 56 yards of Eagles' penalties to reach the 6-yard-line.
On the cusp of a stunning comeback, Prescott instead was sacked by Josh Sweat for an 11-yard loss.
After a penalty on the Cowboys moved them to the 27, Prescott hit CeeDee Lamb for 22 yards, but the wideout was tackled by Darius Slay at the 5 to end the game.
"Lot of good we can take from this and use as we keep going," Prescott said.
"That's what we'll do, get back to work," Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said.
Prescott threw for 374 yards and three scores. Lamb had 11 catches for 191 yards.
Prescott hit Jalen Tolbert for a 7-yard score to make it 28-23 and the QB scrambled for a 2-point conversion that would have made it a three-point game. The replay showed Prescott's right foot stepped out at around the 2 and the conversion also was overturned
"An inch or two on one of those three plays and we could be talking about a different outcome," Prescott said.
