Jordan Matthews had not caught a touchdown pass since Week 2. Sam Bradford had not thrown one in more than 168 minutes of game action, dating back to the first quarter of Week 6.
Both unwanted streaks came to an end at the best possible time for Philadelphia: in overtime on Sunday night, to knock off the rival Cowboys, 33-27. From the Dallas 41 on the first possession of OT, Bradford found a streaking Matthews over the middle. Matthews did the rest, racing to the end zone for the victory.
The victory for the Eagles marked Dallas's sixth consecutive defeat, all coming without Tony Romo.
