The Eagles got up 20-0 on the Cowboys on Sunday night but Dallas scored the next 17 points to make it a close game early in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys were coming off a 93-yard touchdown drive when the Eagles got the ball back with 14:39 left in the fourth quarter. Their first two possessions of the second half gained just 6 yards on nine plays.Even without Lane Johnson, who was out with a concussion, they leaned on their offensive line and marched down the field.
Miles Sanders got the drive going with a quick 13-yard run, but all three running backs and Hurts played a role on the drive with their legs. The Eagles converted three 3rd-downs on the drive. And after 10 of the first 11 plays were runs, Hurts hit A.J. Brown for a 22-yard gain and then came right back to DeVonta Smith for the 7-yard touchdown.On that drive, they wore down a very good Dallas defense and they knew it.
That doesn’t mean those drives are easy. When asked what those drives feel like for him, Mailata said, “Hell.” But it’s an even worse Hell for a defense once they get on the ropes.“It’s huge,” Dallas Goedert said. “The last two weeks, we’ve put together a big long drive in the fourth quarter when we need them. It just goes to show it matters who’s toughest longest. Lately, we’ve been tougher longer. That’s a credit to the O-line up front.
