Not only did the Philadelphia Eagles blow a 21-point lead against their biggest rival, the Dallas Cowboys, but they also allowed Dak Prescott to make some history along the way.
Prescott needed 160 yards against the Eagles to pass Tony Romo for the most yards in Cowboys history, and did just that. He became the all-time leader in passing yards on a nine-yard completion to George Pickens, a moment in which the Eagles were still winning 21-7.
From that moment on, however, the Cowboys ran away with it, with Prescott finishing with 354 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Pickens finished with nine receptions and 146 yards and a touchdown.
When speaking to reporters after the game, not only was this an exciting moment for Prescott to break the all-time passing yards record in Cowboys history, one of the biggest franchises in major professional sports, but it was also a game that he thinks he might be able to look back on one day and say that it saved the season.
For the Eagles, that's very concerning.
"I mean, it's a special game and it's a game that I definitely won't forget," Prescott said, per ESPN. "I'm not a guy [who is] even thinking about records or taking memorabilia or things like that.
"After this game, one of the [athletic] trainers asked me, 'What do you want to do with the jersey?' I said, 'Yeah, I'm going to keep that one.' I know it's a game that I won't forget. It's a game that hopefully I can look back and say, 'This was the moment, this was the time, this game [that] meant everything to that season.' Right now, I'm just staying where my feet are. Super, super thankful for this team, for the men, for the opportunity honestly."
I honestly thought going into this game that the Cowboys didn't have much of a chance, and the Eagles’ defense was going to do whatever it could to ensure the team got a win.
Unfortunately, when the offense fails to score this for longer than half of the game, that typically doesn't end well.
The Eagles found that out the hard way, and now gave some life to Prescott and the Cowboys.
