Prescott’s touchdown pass to George Pickens in the first half was crucial, reducing Philadelphia’s lead. Furthermore, Prescott himself scored a rushing touchdown, tying the score in the final quarter. The defense also played a key role, preventing the Eagles from scoring in the last three series. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown emphasized the importance of staying calm and focused during the game.There are times when you’re down by a touchdown or maybe two, and that won’t be the last time this season. When you have a game like this, talking about belief and knowing, that’s what allows these guys in the locker room to believe that we’re going to come back or know that we have the team, the brotherhood, the connection to do precisely that.

In the final quarter, the defense and special teams recovered the ball for the offense, but they failed to capitalize. Schottenheimer opted to risk it on fourth down, but the play was unsuccessful. A sack by Osa Odighizuwa on Jalen Hurts gave the Cowboys one last chance. Prescott, who became the Cowboys’ all-time leader in passing yards, connected with Jake Ferguson and Pickens to advance on the field. Finally, Aubrey sealed the victory with his field goal. Aubrey, who had already scored the winning goal in Week 2 against the New York Giants, expressed the excitement of achieving this comeback in a divisional game.It was about staying true to ourselves, knowing that the mentality doesn’t change. We just have to take it one play at a time, one series at a time, get off the field. And do that with 100% effort, energy, and passion.
