Eagles hand Cowboys sixth straight loss, 33-27 in OT
Sam Bradford threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews in overtime and the Philadelphia Eagles sent the Dallas Cowboys to their longest losing streak in 26 years with a 33-27 victory in overtime Sunday night. “We saw that past year with the Patriots”. Bryant was one of them, and he outjumped everyone to snag the ball for his first touchdown of the season. “I think we’re going to use that kind of blueprint for our squad and try to get us going at the right time”.
Following a trip to Dallas, the Eagles will play five of their final eight games at Lincoln Financial Field, including games against the Dolphins and Buccaneers in back-to-back weeks. If both teams were viewed as evenly matched, the Cowboys would be standard three point home favorites. “Everyone’s fresh, recharged and ready to go”.
LT Jason Peters is expected to return to practice this week and play against Dallas after leaving the Carolina game with severe back spasms. However, he has more picks (10) than touchdowns (nine) and will keep opponents in any game Philly plays if he keeps making mistakes.
“He’s made progress”, Kelly said of Peters. “But everybody will go”. They’re going to go out, they’re going to run around and then we’ll get feedback from [medical personnel] Shaun [Huls] and Chris Peduzzi in terms of how they handled the workload today, and do we increase the workload or back off on the workload? “We have an hour practice”.
Murray bolted the Cowboys in free agency, signing with NFC East rival Philadelphia, but will return to Arlington on Sunday to engage the Cowboys for the first time as a foe.
“It’s never fun to miss time and watch your teammates go out there”, Alonso said.
“Jordan did a great job running that route”, Bradford said. “But I want to get in there and help the team”.
Alonso added that he will probably not wear a brace on his knee. Since the Atlanta game, defensive end Greg Hardy and middle linebacker Rolando McClain have returned from National Football League suspensions and defensive end Randy Gregory is back from the injured list. That would likely lead to a rotation of Hicks, Kendricks, Alonso and DeMeco Ryans, who missed the game against Carolina with a hamstring injury.
“Me and Byron had been competing all game”, said Matthews, who had nine catches for 133 yards.
There were a lot of things that could have extended drives for us and kept us on the field. They also anxious about how the 497 touches he had last season, including the playoffs, might affect him going forward.
More press coverage to shrink the passing windows for QB Matt Cassel might reap enormous benefits if the risk-averse tendencies coordinator Billy Davis has shown can be overcome.
“It felt good”, said Agholor.
