The Eagles can thank the right foot of ’ quarterback Dak Prescott and the left knee of their tight end Luke Schoonmaker for being 8-1 and maintaining the best record in the NFL as they head into their bye week.
The Eagles squirmed to a 28-23 victory over the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, helped by Prescott’s right foot on his failed two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, which would have put the Cowboys within a field goal of tying the Eagles. And Schoonmaker’s left knee, when with 10:07 to play, had a touchdown overturned when the replay showed Schoonmaker’s left knee hit the turf before the ball crossed the goal line.
