Hurts sparked Philadelphia with three first-half touchdown drives, pairing a precise 9-for-11, 93-yard passing line with 48 rushing yards to give the Eagles a 21-20 lead at the break. A shocking opening moment saw Jaylen Carter ejected, reshaping the defensive plan as Dallas mounted a coordinated attack behind Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Philly leaned into under-center action and Hurts’ poise to sustain momentum, while Dallas benefited from a sharper passing game and Red Zone opportunities. The second half hinges on adjustments and defensive discipline.
