Dallas Cowboys 38, Philadelphia Eagles 17
This game was not pretty as the offense kept stubbing their toes and the defense couldn’t stop T.O. and his buddies. Donovon McNabb piled up some numbers but he wasn’t throwing the ball down the field and that wound up hurting the Eagles in this game. McNabb completed 27 of 46 passes for 264 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 interceptions. Brian Westbrook was very active as he carried the ball 16 times for 65 yards (4.1 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 14 passes for 90 yards (6.4 avg). Reggie Brown made 2 grabs for 55 yards (27.5 avg). Kevin Curtis pitched in with 5 grabs for 51 yards (10.2 avg). Hank Baskett got a garbage TD late in the 4th quarter and he finished with 3 catches for 28 yards (9.3 avg) with a TD grab. The Eagles finished up with 66 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 27 of 46 passes for 250 yards.
Defensive tackle Mike Patterson led a poor defensive effort from the Eagles with 9 tackles. The Cowboys finished up with 110 yards rushing on 32 carries (3.4 ypc) and they completed 20 of 25 passes for 324 yards.
