THE READ
Eagles win the turnover battle and the game

Jalen Hurts threw for Eagles — 20/31, 230 yards, 1 TD. That is 3 straight games over 250 for Dak Prescott. Through the air: Cowboys 276, Eagles 230.

Cowboys -7.5 -0.1 -7.5 -6
Eagles +7.1 -11.6 +18.8 +7
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Marcus Reyes The numbers guy
Dallas turned it over 4 times and still threw for 276 yards—which tells you everything about how badly the Cowboys needed those possessions to actually matter. Philadelphia's 0 giveaways in a 6-point win wasn't flashy; it was decisive.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
THE SERIES STUDE against Eagles — the men, not the teams

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
