1. DeVonta Smith’s Wide Open TD Seals the Deal

We do want to reiterate that it was incredibly impressive that Dallas surmounted a comeback of any kind. After the first half, it felt like the vibe of the game was that this team was going to lose by a lot more. Instead, they made it a real game and even gave fans faith that a miraculous victory was on the horizon.

However, the Eagles put together a beautiful 13-play, 75-yard drive to prove why they are the only undefeated team left in this league.

Not only was this the play that pretty much ended the night for Dallas, but it also hurt that DeVonta Smith happened to be wide open on this score. There was no one close to him when he caught the ball.

This frustrating play also led to an unsportsmanlike penalty on Trevon Diggs who sadly threw his helmet to the ground in the endzone and was seen screaming in frustration.

It wasn’t a great night for Dallas. There were several missed opportunities and disappointing moments. However, next week;s game is against a beatable Detroit Lions team and there is hope that Prescott will be back at the helm.
