Cowboys knock off Eagles in overtime

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dak Prescott threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten in overtime to give the Cowboys their sixth straight victory, 29-23 over the Eagles on Sunday night.

Prescott won the rookie quarterback duel with Carson Wentz, rallying the Cowboys with a late tying pass to Dez Bryant. Dallas (6-1) overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to take a two-game division lead.

The 23-year-old Prescott recovered from a shaky start, finishing 19 of 39 for 287 yards with two scores and an end zone interception that cost the Cowboys points late in the first half.
