Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns and ran for two more as the Philadelphia Eagles routed the rival Dallas Cowboys 34-6 on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
It was the fifth straight win for the Eagles (7-2), who climbed into first place in the NFC East and halted a six-game skid at AT&T Stadium.
Playing without starting quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys (3-6) lost their fourth consecutive game overall and fell to 0-4 at home for the first time since 2010. Dallas has been outscored 153-59 at home.
Hurts passed for 202 yards and rushed for 56. Saquon Barkley had 78 yards from scrimmage and collected his first win over the Cowboys after going 0-10 while with the New York Giants. A.J. Brown caught five passes for 109 yards.
With Prescott sidelined by a hamstring injury, backup Cooper Rush struggled in his first start since 2022. Rush had only 45 yards on 13-of-23 passing before being replaced in the fourth quarter by Trey Lance, who completed 4 of 6 throws for 21 yards. Dallas turned it over five times and finished with just 146 yards of offense.
The Eagles turned Dallas’s first giveaway into the first points of the game after Rush fumbled a snap and Milton Williams recovered at the Cowboys’ 17-yard line.
Four plays later, Hurts’ 1-yard run made him the third quarterback in NFL history with 50 rushing touchdowns (Cam Newton, Josh Allen) and put Philadelphia up 7-0 with 7:05 left in the first quarter.
Hurts turned it over twice in the second quarter, an interception by Trevon Diggs in the end zone and a fumble that was recovered at the Eagles’ 6-yard line, but Dallas only converted those miscues into three points.
Brandon Aubrey’s second field goal made it 7-6 with 1:48 left in the half, but Hurts marched the Eagles 84 yards in 85 seconds and tossed a 14-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert for a 14-6 lead at intermission.
Hurts added TDs through the air and on the ground in the third quarter. He fired to Johnny Wilson in the end zone from 5 yards for the rookie’s first career touchdown catch and scored on an 8-yard run for a 28-6 lead.
The Eagles tacked on a pair of field goals by Jake Elliott in the fourth quarter, giving them 27 unanswered points.
