Donovan McNabb and the Phildelphia Eagles were not on top of their game Sunday and fell to the Dallas Cowboys.  McNabb threw two interceptions, the first multi-interception game of the season for him.  The Eagles were without their star running back Brian Westbrook for the second straight game due to a concussion, but LeSean McCoy filled in nicely for Westbrook.  McCoy rushed for 54 yards on 13 carries and added five catches for 61 yards.  It wasn’t enough though, and without McNabb off his game the Cowboys were able to take advantage.

Tony Romo and the Cowboys offense were able to get a first quarter touchdown when Tashard Choice ran it in from the two yard line.  The Eagles defense did a good job keeping them out the end zone for the next 2 1/2 quarters, but Romo was able to find the dangerous Miles Austin for a 49-yard touchdown.  It was Austin’s only catch of the game and proved to be a costly one.  The touchdown put the Cowboys up 20-13 with about eight minutes to play, but the Eagles could only answer with a field goal.  They were not able to get any more points on the board after that and fell 20-16.  This game was very even and McNabb’s two interceptions ended up being very costly, as ball control ended up being very important in this one.  The Cowboys won the turnover battle and it was one of the main reasons the Eagles lost this one.
