Few would’ve expected the Cowboys to close the gap with the Eagles in the NFC East last week, but surprises are rarely lacking in this league. Coming out of Week 6, Dallas is now a game out from Philadelphia in the NFL’s most-watched division race.
This unexpected opportunity came Sunday when the Eagles shockingly lost to the New York Jets. Held to just 14 points by the Jets’ impressive defense, Philly made uncharacteristic mistakes. Jalen Hurts threw three interceptions and D’Andre Swift had a lost fumble to allow New York to pull off the upset.
The Cowboys then handled business on Monday night against the Chargers.
