Hurts was also sacked by Osa Odighizuwa on a crucial third down late in the fourth quarter.

Philadelphia’s inability to establish Barkley and the running game was an important part of the second-half turnaround. The Eagles averaged only 3.5 yards per rushing attempt, while Dallas averaged 4.0. That difference contributed to the Cowboys being able to keep pressure on Philadelphia’s defense while controlling the game late.
