The Cowboys and the Eagles are headed to the playoffs with Dallas playing their old rival the 49ers and the Eagles heading to Tampa to play the Buccaneers.
The two played on Saturday and it was just too rocky for position and the Cowboys sent a message to the Eagles and the rest of the league to let them know that they were ready for the playoffs winning very convincingly 51-26.
Prescott threw a career-high five touchdown passes against Philadelphia Eagles backups, Cedrick Wilson and Dalton Schultz each had two scoring catches and the Cowboys kept their slim hopes for a No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs alive with a 51-26 victory Saturday night.
The Cowboys still had seeding to play for against an Eagles team that rested Jalen Hurts and other key starters ahead of an NFC wild-card game next week.
Prescott stayed in the game until the fourth quarter, the lead increasing seemingly with each throw and so, perhaps, the risk of injury for a QB nearly 15 months removed from the gruesome compound fracture of his right ankle that ended his 2020 season.
Prescott did his best to get an offense that routinely produced at least 400 yards during a 6-1 start back on track headed into the playoffs following a two-year absence. He was 21 of 27 for 295 yards and no interceptions.
“It’s a hell of a year for a guy that was in a slump,” coach Mike McCarthy deadpanned.
Although the Eagles got demolished, their fans said they weren’t going to get a win somehow and that was in the form of a fight.
Except, the fans lost that also.
A Cowboys fan seemed mad about something and took it out on not one but two eagles fans and came out on top.
Wasn’t a good day for Eagles fans.
