ARLINGTON, Texas - Sam Bradford didn't check down or throw this pass behind anyone. With the game swinging in the balance, and maybe the season swinging with it, Bradford hit Jordan Matthews over the middle at the Dallas 20, on first down from the Cowboys' 41.
Byron Jones, who was covering Matthews, had fallen and he couldn't get up as Matthews rocketed down the middle for the touchdown that gave the Eagles a 33-27 victory Sunday night, four minutes and one second into overtime.
Inconsistent in all three phases of the game, the 4-4 Eagles wobbled and teetered but persevered in evening their NFC East record at 2-2.
