Hurts’ chemistry with Brown remains strong. The 26-year-old quarterback completed a 44-yard deep shot down the right sideline to Brown over his left shoulder in the third quarter, leading to a Hurts rushing touchdown later in the drive.

The Cowboys were deep in Eagles’ territory in the second quarter, down 7-3, when Baun shifted the momentum. The 27-year-old inside linebacker forced a fumble on Ezekiel Elliott and Cooper DeJean recovered the loose ball in the end zone.

Cowboys linebacker Marist Liufau recovered Hurts’ second-quarter fumble at the Eagles’ 6. The Eagles defense held Dallas to a field goal, in part thanks to Carter stuffing running back Rico Dowdle on third and 3.

Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Johnny Wilson saw his first-career touchdown catch wiped off due to his offensive pass interference penalty. He avenged himself on Sunday, hauling in a five-yard touchdown catch to put the Eagles up, 21-6.
