There was not a lot going right for the Philadelphia Eagles' defense to start their game against the Dallas Cowboys, but they somehow managed to ride the wave and help pull out a 24-20 win on Thursday.
The first five drives were mostly negative for the Eagles' defense, with the Cowboys scoring touchdowns on each of the first two drives of the game. Dallas followed it up with two more drives, each ending in a field goal.
Philly got lucky on the opening drive of the third quarter as the Cowboys went 61 yards before Miles Sanders fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by the Eagles.
