This was a disappointing game for the Philadelphia Eagles (11-5), who were dominated by the Dallas Cowboys (11-5) and lost the NFC East because of it.  They managed to get only 10 first downs and 228 total yards on offense, compared to the Cowboys 474 total yards and 21 first downs.  If the Eagles would have won this game, they would have been NFC East champs with a first round bye as the number two seed in the NFC playoffs.  Instead, the Cowboys are the NFC champions and are the number two seed, while the Eagles dropped to the number six seed.

The Eagles offense just could not get it going in this one, especially their running game.  Brian Westbrook had 5 carries for 17 yards and the Eagles racked up only 37 rushing yards as a team.  They found themselves down early though, with Tony Romo leading the Cowboys to a 17-0 halftime lead.  The Eagles basically quit on the running game and ran it only 10 times throughout.  Donovan McNabb and the passing game were not able to do much either, with McNabb failing to find the endzone.  McNabb finished with 223 yards on 20/36 passes.  The Eagles are going to need to bring a much better effort come playoff time or they will be out quick.
