The Dallas Cowboys shocked the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12, erasing a 21-0 deficit and winning 24-21 on a Brandon Aubrey walk-off field goal. Full recap, best plays, standout players and injury updates below. Game overview Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Week: 12, 2025 NFL season Final score: Cowboys 24 - 21 Eagles  Venue: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas  Records after game: Eagles: 8-3, still leading the NFC East Cowboys: 5-5-1, right back in the NFC playoff hunt  Philadelphia, the defending Super Bowl champion and division leader, raced out to a 21-0 advantage and looked in complete control. Then everything flipped. Dallas scored 24 unanswered points, capped by Brandon Aubrey's 42-yard field goal as time expired to complete the largest comeback win in Cowboys franchise history.  How the game unfolded Eagles dominate early: 21-0 Jalen Hurts and the Eagles came out firing. Their first three meaningful drives were almost perfect: Hurts opened the scoring with a 16-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, who found a soft spot in the Cowboys secondary. On the next series, Hurts called his own number on a quarterback draw for a rushing touchdown, extending the lead to 14-0. A Cowboys fumble by KaVontae Turpin set up a short field, and Hurts later added another rushing score to push it to 21-0 early in the second quarter.  Defensively, Philadelphia was opportunistic. Safety Reed Blankenship picked off Dak Prescott in the end zone, killing a Dallas drive and pushing the Cowboys deeper into a hole.  At that point, it looked like another Eagles statement win on the road. Turning point before halftime Just before the break, Prescott finally found life. Dallas strung together a long drive built on intermediate throws and quick-game concepts. The Cowboys finished it off with a short touchdown pass to wide receiver George Pickens, cutting the deficit to 21-7 at halftime and giving AT&T Stadium a pulse again.  That late score changed the energy of the night. From there on, it was all Dallas. Second half: 24 unanswered by Dallas In the third and fourth quarters, the script flipped completely: The Cowboys defense tightened up, forcing punts and turnovers while holding Philadelphia scoreless the rest of the way.  Prescott engineered another long drive in the third quarter that ended in his second touchdown pass of the game, this time to tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, trimming the margin to 21-14.  Early in the fourth quarter, Prescott kept the ball on a designed run for a 7-yard rushing touchdown to tie the game 21-21 with just over 11 minutes remaining.  With the Eagles reeling and their secondary banged up, Dallas got the ball one more time in the final minutes. Prescott calmly marched the offense downfield, highlighted by a clutch 24-yard completion to George Pickens that moved the Cowboys well into field goal range.  From there, Aubrey did the rest, drilling a 42-yard walk-off field goal as the clock hit zero to seal the 24-21 win and send the stadium into chaos.  Best plays of the night 1. Brandon Aubrey's game-winning 42-yard field goalPressure kick, season on the line, and he hit it clean. Aubrey has already built a reputation as “Mr. Clutch” in Dallas, and this kick added another chapter.  2. Reed Blankenship's diving end zone interceptionBefore the comeback started, Blankenship delivered one of the best defensive plays of the game, laying out for a diving pick to rob Prescott of a touchdown and keep the score 14-0 at the time.  3. A.J. Brown carving up the Cowboys secondaryBrown was a problem all night, finishing with 110 receiving yards and a touchdown, including several big chain-moving grabs that fueled Philadelphia's early surge.  4. George Pickens' fourth quarter heroicsPickens not only caught the first Dallas touchdown, he also came up huge on the final drive, stacking multiple Eagles defensive backs for key explosive plays. His late sideline catch that set up Aubrey's kick was the offensive moment of the game for Dallas.  Standout performers Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys Prescott's night started poorly but ended in storybook fashion. Passing: 23 of 36, 354 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception  Rushing: 1 rushing touchdown on the game-tying run in the fourth quarter  He also broke Tony Romo's franchise record for career passing yards during the game, but famously brushed off mid-game congratulations and told teammates to celebrate only after they won. Then he went out and delivered exactly that.  George Pickens, WR, Cowboys Pickens was virtually unguardable once Dallas settled in. Stat line: 9 receptions, 146 yards, 1 touchdown He punished single coverage, thrived on back-shoulder throws, and repeatedly exploited the banged-up Eagles secondary in the second half. Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles Hurts did everything he could to put the game away early: Passing: 27 of 39, 289 yards, 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions  Rushing: 7 carries, 33 yards, 2 rushing touchdowns His 3 total touchdowns and 322 total yards kept the Eagles' offense humming for a half, but they could not sustain drives once the injuries and penalties mounted. A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles Brown continued his elite form: Stat line: 110 receiving yards and a touchdown  He tormented Cowboys corners early, particularly on in-breaking routes and contested catches. Key injuries and what changed The turning point was not only about momentum but also about health. For the Eagles: S Reed Blankenship left with a thigh injury and did not return.  CB Adoree Jackson exited in the third quarter and was later confirmed to be in concussion protocol, ruled out for the rest of the game.  S Andrew Mukuba was seen after the game with a boot on his right foot and on crutches, another major hit to the back end. Those losses forced backups like Cooper DeJean and Michael Carter into heavier roles, and Dallas relentlessly attacked those matchups in the fourth quarter.  For the Cowboys: LT Tyler Guyton suffered an ankle injury and was listed as questionable to return, a situation to monitor with a tough schedule ahead.  What this game means For Dallas: The Cowboys move to 5-5-1 and keep their playoff hopes very much alive. The comeback from 21-0 down is now the largest in franchise history, a potential season-defining moment for Brian Schottenheimer's first year as head coach. For Philadelphia: The Eagles fall to 8-3 and lose a chance to tighten their grip on the NFC East. They committed a season-high 14 penalties for 96 yards, stalled out in the second half, and suffered three key injuries in the secondary. Jalen Hurts admitted postgame that the team has to "own" this collapse and respond quickly with a short week ahead.
