The Eagles beat the Cowboys 34-6 for their fifth straight win

Cowboys fans didn’t have much to cheer about on Sunday, so they booed instead.

The Eagles outscored the Cowboys 20-0 in the second half and came away with a 34-6 rout. Philadelphia improved to 7-2 with its fifth straight win, while Dallas fell to 3-6 with its fourth straight loss.

The Cowboys played without starting quarterback Dak Prescott, who suffered a hamstring injury last week and will undergo season-ending surgery. They managed just 146 yards without him and turned the ball over five times.

Cooper Rush started at quarterback and lost two fumbles, and Trey Lance replaced him in the third quarter and threw an interception. Running back Ezekiel Elliott and tight end Jake Ferguson also each lost a fumble.

Rush, who was 5-1 in his career as a starter in Prescott’s place, was 13 of 23 for 45 yards. Lance went 4-of-6 for 21 yards.

The Eagles had a streak of four consecutive scoring possessions in the second half, scoring on drives of 37, 83, 0 and 9 yards. The Eagles gained 348 yards over the course of the game.

Two turnovers by Jalen Hurts in the first half kept the score close, with Philadelphia leading 14-6 at halftime. Hurts rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries and completed 14 of 20 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Saquon Barkley rushed for 66 yards on 14 carries and AJ Brown caught five passes for 109 yards.
