It's an ELECTRIC season | #FlyEaglesFly /Bn6ihlaZLI- Philadelphia Eagles December 24, 2022 Nice long response drive by the offense with 74 yards and a touchdown on 10 plays. No matter, though, with the Eagles able to score on a Minshew sneak on fourth down. Weird decision by Kenny G to jump from too far out on a play where he might’ve been able to get in if didn’t leave his feet. The Eagles ran Kenneth Gainwell four straight times (interesting to see no Sanders?) to get to to 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Minshew made up for it with a good 3rd-and-5 completion to Brown for a first down. Then Minshew overthrew an open Watkins over the middle for what should’ve been a score. Minshew had back-to-back completions to Dallas Goedert (welcome back!) and Quez for 25 and 16 yards.Two straight drives where the Eagles should’ve had stops and instead gave up scores. A few plays later, the Cowboys took advantage of a busted coverage (with Slay involved) for a CeeDee Lamb touchdown. but there was an illegal contact penalty on Darius Slay to give Dallas a first. Dallas got to 4th-and-8 and went for it and Dak’s pass was incomplete. Maddox did NOT miss Dak this time on a play where the Cowboys tried to get tricky, sacking the Cowboys QB for a 10-yard loss.Not a good throw but also did not look like the best effort from Quez, who also was involved in an interception when targeted last week (looked like he didn’t get out of his break fast enough). Minshew threw a pick on an off target pass to Quez Watkins over the middle.Again, the missed sack was a really big deal that would’ve forced a Dallas punt. Ezekiel Elliott punched it in from one yard out for the Cowboys’ first score. The Cowboys methodically moved into the red zone and then into goal-to-go territory. Frustrating! Big missed opportunity to get a stop. The Eagles should’ve sacked Dak on 3rd-and-5 with a blitzing Maddox having a grasp on him but the QB was able to somehow stay alive and get a pass off to Michael Gallup for a first down.
The Eagles got the Cowboys to third down after a nice open field tackle from Avonte Maddox but Dak took off running into wide open space up the middle for a first. What an incredible play by Josh Sweat! /V1cn9rw7Sk- Shane Haff December 24, 2022 Exactly the kind of play you need from your defense in a game when your backup QB is starting. Very bad throw by Dak but also an incredible athletic play by Sweat to be able to score on the 42-yard return like that. The Cowboys picked up two first downs but then Dak Prescott threw a pass RIGHT to Josh Sweat for a pick six! LOL. The Eagles had to settle for a short Jake Elliott field goal. but looked just a tad less fast than Jalen Hurts and only picked up three yards. The Eagles got to 3rd-and-9 after two straight runs basically went nowhere. Then Minshew hit Brown wide open down the field with the WR beating Trevon Diggs, who is certainly susceptible to giving up big plays in addition to making them, for a 48-yard gain into the red zone. Then Gardner Minshew completed his first pass to A.J. The first play was a Miles Sanders run for eight yards. The Cowboys won the coin toss and elected to defer to have the Eagles start on offense first. Read on for a recap and stay tuned for BGN’s postgame coverage, including the BGN Radio postgame show ! FIRST QUARTER I’m sure the Eagles would love to get back at them after the bad taste in their mouth following this loss. If/when they’re able to get that done, the Birds will be on a path to potentially face the Cowboys for a threematch at The Linc. The Eagles need to manage protecting their starting quarterback while also finding a way to seal the deal and clinch the top spot in the conference. The Saints are still alive in the dreadful NFC South so they still have something to play for. On that note, it’ll be interesting to see if Hurts pushes to play with the Birds set to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. It would’ve been nice if the Eagles’ starting quarterback wasn’t dealing with a shoulder sprain. Both of his picks came on targets to Quez Watkins, who had an awful game. Of course, the turnovers were very costly. He also had a rushing score on a sneak near the goal line. He completed 24 of his 40 attempts for 355 yards (8.9 average), 2 TD, 2 INT, and a 84.9 passer rating. Gardner Minshew played reasonably well relative to expectation in this one. Which is definitely something you can’t do when you’re trying to win your third straight road game with a backup quarterback under center. They somehow allowed a 3RD-AND-30 to be converted. 
1 seed in the NFC playoff picture.īut they really should’ve been able to win this one. They still have two more games to get one win in order to clinch the No. In the grand scheme of things, this loss isn’t a gigantic deal.
The Philadelphia Eagles are 13-2 after losing to the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Eve.
