Cowboys 24-0 Win Over Eagles
The Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles score was expected to be tight and thrilling. However, the Cowboys vs Eagles score was a 24-0 shellacking, only this time, the Cowboys shellacked the Eagles. After last year, Dallas never heard the end of how Philadelphia ended their season with a 44-6 rout. Now for the next week, the Eagles will never hear the end of how the Cowboys destroyed their division title hopes – and maybe their Super Bowl hopes. The Eagles vs Cowboys score certainly knocked Philadelphia down a peg or two, and put the Cowboys up a few more.
The Cowboys (11-5) have quickly become a team nobody wants to face this postseason. This was their third straight impressive win and their most complete performance of the entire season.
The shutout also made for a major milestone in the club's storied history: First-ever back-to-back blankings. Only twice in the previous 49 seasons had they even had two shutouts the entire season. The amazing part about this one is that Philadelphia (11-5) came in having won six straight, averaging 31.2 points in that span.
The Eagles had two of their three lowest-scoring games of the season against Dallas while getting swept for the first time since 2005. Coach Andy Reid better get to work soon because his club is headed back to Cowboys Stadium for a first-round playoff game Saturday or Sunday.
Donovan McNabb was 20 of 36 for 223 yards, and Philadelphia finished with 228 total yards.The Cowboys had 291 yards at halftime on their way to gaining 474.
Romo was 24 of 34 for 311 yards, with the two touchdowns and an interception. He also capped the most productive season of his career and in franchise history, setting club records for attempts, completions and yards passing. The Cowboys also set a record for single-season yards.
A crowd of 100,621 packed Cowboys Stadium hoping the home team would pay back Philadelphia for a 44-6 loss in last season's finale that kept Dallas out of the playoffs and led to all sorts of offseason changes. The past few weeks have proved they truly are a different bunch.
Dallas finally won in December this year, and won a game in January to boot. Now they just need to advance in the playoffs to quiet everyone down for good. So it may be a good sign that they get to host the Eagles again, in their first playoff game next week.
