Finally, the Eagles have something to celebrate. The team not only beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, they did it behind one of their best games of the season, and did it without much for fans to complain about.
The defense, save for the final drive, played well. The kicker, once a free agent on the streets, stepped up when it counted. .
Hardy wasn't available in the locker room after the game.
Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassel threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns, including an 18-yarder to Bryant in the end zone when he threw up a jump ball after a Romo-like spin out a potential sack. But the big mistake to Hicks left him with the same 0-3 record Brandon Weeden had filling in for Romo.
Hicks stepped in front of a pass in the flat for Darren McFadden and sprinted 67 yards untouched. Cassel hung his head as he slowed up, realizing he had no chance to catch the former Texas linebacker.
It was the 20th takeaway for the Eagles, who went into the game leading the NFL, and it extended their streak with at least one to 14 games.
DEZ AND COLE: Bryant had 104 yards on five catches, and Cole Beasley had career highs with nine catches for 112 yards with two touchdowns, which matched his total from a win against Chicago last year.
DOUBLE WHAMMY: Dallas lost linebackers Sean Lee (concussion) and Anthony Hitchens (ankle) on Philadelphia's 95-yard drive. Lee went out after tackling Murray on a short pass on the first play, and Hitchens was injured on Mathews' 6-yard scoring run.
And the quarterback?
Unlike the team's previous three wins, when Bradford was shaky in all three, the quarterback turned in his best game of the season, throwing for 295 yards and the game-winning touchdown
