Dak Prescott and Brandon Aubrey lead the Cowboys to a 33-13 victory over the Eagles

Dak Prescott threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns, and Brandon Aubrey converted several extra-long field goals as the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 33-13 on Sunday night in Arlington, Texas.

Prescott completed 24 of 39 passes to lead the Cowboys (10-3) to their fifth consecutive victory. They have not lost since November 5, when the Eagles defeated them 28-23 in Philadelphia. With four games remaining, the rivals are tied atop the division standings.

Dallas' receiving leader was Jake Ferguson, who had five catches for 72 yards. CeeDee Lamb hauled in six passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.

Aubrey made field goals of 60, 59, 45, and 50 yards, becoming the first kicker in NFL history to make two field goals of 59 yards or longer in the same game.

For the Eagles (10-3), Jalen Hurts finished 18-of-27 passing for 197 yards, with A.J. Brown catching nine passes for 94 yards.

In their second straight loss, the Eagles fumbled three times and committed ten penalties for 95 yards. The San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys combined to outscore Philadelphia 75-32 in consecutive weeks.

Dallas started the game with a 75-yard drive that took 10 plays. Five minutes into the game, Lamb caught a 13-yard touchdown pass.

Donovan Wilson forced and recovered a fumble on a Hurts keeper to get the Eagles to the Dallas 21-yard line. Aubrey drilled a 60-yard field goal on the ensuing drive, giving him a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Philadelphia's Jake Elliott converted from 52 yards out to make it 10-3 before the Cowboys scored touchdowns on their next two drives. First, Rico Dowdle pushed in from the 1-yard line; he was initially ruled short of the goal line, but the call was overturned on appeal.

The Cowboys raced 75 yards in eight plays and 1:28 after Elliott's 44-yard field goal. Prescott hit Brandin Cooks over the top for a 30-yard gain to the Eagles' 1, and then connected with Michael Gallup for a touchdown to make the score 24-6 at the half.

Stephon Gilmore stripped Brown of the football, which Dallas recovered early in the third quarter.

Fletcher Cox strip-sacked Prescott for a 42-yard scoop-and-score as Philadelphia capitalized on a fumble the other way.

However, Dallas' next possession resulted in Aubrey's 59-yard field goal. Aubrey, a rookie who played in the USFL before signing with Dallas, added 45- and 50-yard field goals in the fourth quarter to improve to 8-for-8 on 50-yard or longer field goals.

The Eagles advanced to the red zone once more, but Markquese Bell forced DeVonta Smith to fumble, preventing them from getting any closer.
