Meanwhile, Hurts has completed 9 of his 13 passes for 92 yards. 

For the second straight week, CJ Gardner-Johnson made an interception.

The Eagles found the end zone first against the Cowboys. Miles Sanders scored on a 5-yard run to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. 

Sanders scored after a 15 play drive that ate up roughly eight minutes of the game.

It's a great time to be a Philadelphia sports fan. On Saturday night, the Phillies advanced to the NLCS and on Sunday night the undefeated Eagles will take on Dallas at the Linc.

The city is electric and Birds fans have a lot to celebrate

Fans have really been on a high since Friday when the Phillies played their first home playoff game in 11 years.

Then came Saturday and with Fightins beating the Braves to move on to the NLCS. Philadelphia's sports faithful just carried the momentum into Sunday Night Football. 

But right now, all eyes are on the Eagles as they take on their rival Cowboys under the prime time lights. 

Fans who have weathered the highs and lows of Philly sports say it doesn't get any better than this. 

And by the way, the Flyers have won their first two games to start the season and the Union are in the MLS cup playoffs, so really an Eagles win feels like the only acceptable way to finish off this winning weekend.
