Sunday Night Fooball: Eagles Dominate Cowboys, 34-7

The Dallas Cowboys were expected to have some troubles with the Philadelphia Eagles considering the Andy Reid led team is typically excellent coming off of bye weeks. Not many guessed the final score would be 34-7, however, as Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy led the Dream Team to a drubbing of America's Team.

The Eagles were led by Michael Vick to a 24-0 lead at halftime before slowing down a bit in the second half. That didn't hurt the statistics put up by Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy, however. Vick passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns through the air and added 50 more yards on the ground while McCoy had a career day with 185 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

The Cowboys struggled, to say the least, as Tony Romo completed just 15 passes for 178 yards while running back DeMarco Murray was limited by the score -- though he made the most of his time on the field by rushing for 74 yards on just eight carries. Laurent Robinson was a bright spot, however, as he hauled in five catches for 103 yards and two highlight-worthy plays.

The Cowboys will look to get back on track next weekend as they host the Seattle Seahawks while the Eagles play their second prime-time game in as many weeks, this a Monday Night Football affair against the Chicago Bears.

The Dallas Cowboys are finally able to hang something aside from a zero on the scoreboard at Lincoln Financial Field. After falling behind 34-0 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, Laurent Robinson caught a bomb from Tony Romo to start what would be an improbable at best comeback -- but should at least make any potential fantasy football owners happy.

Robinson made a more spectacular catch earlier in the game, but since it was ultimately ruled that he stepped out of bounds, the 70-yard touchdown catch is probably going to make him feel better about his Sunday night. Robinson has caught five passes for 103 yards and a touchdown, an impressive feat considering Tony Romo has only completed nine passes for 132 total yards.

The Cowboys have their work cut out for them, but anything can happen ... probably.

The Philadelphia Eagles were a little quiet in the third quarter, mustering only a field goal and a fumble on their drives after halftime, but the self-proclaimed Dream Team continued to pile it on the Dallas Cowboys to begin the fourth Quarter. LeSean McCoy picked up his second touchdown of the game to open a 34-0 lead early in the final stanza of the play.

The Eagles have been able to do nearly everything they wanted to do against the Cowboys defense this game and McCoy has been a pretty big key to Philadelphia offense. The running back has carried the ball 22 times for 155 yards and two touchdowns, the most recent of which is included below.

Dallas will need to start throwing as there are less than 14 minutes left in the game and they are five touchdowns behind on thescoreboard.

Andy Reid is well-known for being excellent coming off of a bye week and the Philadelphia Eagles were hyped up to be a bit of a Dream Team following the free agent class they brought in this fall. It's unlikely anyone thought Michael Vick and the Eagles would be able to make the Dallas Cowboys this bad, however, as the Eagles scored on all four of their first half possessions to open up a 24-0 lead at halftime.

Vick has completed 13 of his 17 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns while adding 45 additional yards on the ground to help the Eagles offense early. Running back LeSean McCoy has also been solid, carrying the ball 13 times for 95 yards and a touchdown of his own.

The Cowboys certainly have their work cut out as DeMarco Murray has been the offense's only real bright spot early as he's rushed the football six times for 74 yards as he continues to fill in as the team's starting running back. Tony Romo has been relatively ineffective, being sacked a few times and throwing an interception while failing to get the Cowboys within scoring distance.

The second half better be drastically different for the Cowboys or this game is going to get even more out of control than it already is.

I feel like Laurent Robinson should've been credited with a catch for this. In the second quarter of Sunday night's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, Robinson made an impressive, juggling grab along the sideline with coverage draped all over him. It was one of the more amazing catches you'll see.

But it wasn't a catch. In the end, Robinson had stepped out of bounds in the scramble for possession, and was touching the ball as he went out. But still, Robinson should've just been given the catch anyway. It was that cool.

His right foot was out as the ball was in his left hand, thus the ruling upon replay. But look at the concentration here. Robinson is able to keep tipping the ball up to himself while battling with Asante Samuel before finally coming down with it.

I'm not actually sure how this happens. It would seem a center would know when a quarterback is lined up in the shotgun or not. In one case, the quarterback is a good five yards behind the line of scrimmage. In the other, the quarterback has his hands planted firmly on the center's backside. Seems simple, right?

Wrong!

How does this even happen? I get momentary lapses and all, but this seems pretty simple as a center. Either the quarterback's hands are there or they're not.

The Philadelphia Eagles are piling on the Dallas Cowboys early in their meeting on Sunday Night Football. The NFC East rivals don't look like they even belong on the same field at this point in the second quarter as Philadelphia has now opened up a 21-0 lead just a few minutes into the second quarter.

Michael Vick connected with Brent Celek from nine yards out to give the Eagles quarterback his second touchdown pass of the game. Vick has completed seven of his nine passing attempts for 111 yards while adding 45 yards of offense on the ground -- though his best scramble resulted in a delay of game penalty for throwing the ball down field.

The Eagles took possession on this drive when Nnamdi Asomugha picked off Tony Romo to get Vick and the Philadelphia offense back on the field. It was a pretty impressive catch, as the animated picture shows below.

The Dallas Cowboys found themselves behind on the scoreboard early in their Sunday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles' defense made sure the Cowboys weren't able to answer on their ensuing drive, giving the ball back to Michael Vick and the Eagles offense so that they could open up a 14-0 lead.

The second drive looked much like the first Eagles drive as Vick was able to do almost anything he wanted while leading Philadelphia downbo before LeSean McCoy punched it in from two yards out. McCoy has 78 yards on just seven rushes thus far.

The Eagles made quick work on offense, but it was the defense that set up that possession. The Eagles defense was able to sack Tony Romo twice on the Cowboys first offensive possession, the first of which looking like it probably hurt.

On the Cowboys next possession, following the McCoy touchdown, Nnamda Asomugha picked off a Romo pass to give the ball back to the Eagles with a 14-0 lead.

The Philadelphia Eagles got off to a good start in their NFC East battle with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Michael Vick found wide receiver Jeremy Maclin from 12 yards on third and nine to get the Eagles on the scoreboard early following their bye week.

Vick completed two passes for 36 yards on the opening drive, both to Maclin, while adding an additional 15 yards on the ground to make up for the majority of the Eagles' yardage. Running back LeSean McCoy had three rushing attempts for 25 yards, though his 21-yard burst was the only one that really did any damage.

If history is any indication, this game could be a shootout -- especially judging by the less than five minutes it took for Vick and the Eagles to work themselves downfield.

Look, this is Tony Romo in a nutshell. It's all Tony Romo, wrapped up in a neat picture. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this shot of Romo is worth at least a thousand laughs, and probably more.

Told you it was the most Romo photo ever.

Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones will miss a second consecutive game with an ankle injury.

Jones had led the Cowboys with 253 yards and one rushing touchdown after five weeks, totals that were equaled in last Sunday's 34-7 win over the St. Louis Rams by 2011 third-round pick DeMarco Murray, who is expected to get the start against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Murray got his chance as Tashard Choice struggled with ball security and injured his shoulder, which along with a hamstring injury, which required an MRI on Friday, has him listed as "Questionable" for Sunday night's game.

Choice could be inactive, which would leave Murray and undrafted rookie Phillip Tanner as the healthy running backs on the roster when they take on an Eagles' run defense that allowed just 42 yards to the Washington Redskins before their bye week, but for the most part has struggled against the run. The Eagles had allowed 140.2 rushing yards per game the first five weeks of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys officially ruled out Felix Jones for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and a subsequent injury to Tashard Choice has made DeMarco Murray the de facto starter. He was likely the starter anyway following his blowup against the Rams, but this only further confirms it.

Jones is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is likely out for another week or two at least. Choice is dealing with a shoulder injury that has limited him all week in practice. Choice is now listed as questionable on the final injury report and is looking at limited reps for Sunday, if any. In Choice's place, Phillip Tanner will operate as Murray's backup.

Murray is looking at a very solid matchup as the Philadelphia Eagles have struggled much of this season against the run. The Eagles could turn their season around following the victory over the Washington Redskins, but for now they remain a solid matchup for your fantasy running backs.

Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones is likely to remain unavailable for the team in week eight as he continues to battle through a high ankle sprain. The news is not particularly surprising since high ankle sprains often taken two to four weeks minimum to heal. And considering DeMarco Murray smashed through the Cowboys single game rookie rushing record, I'd imagine the team is not in the biggest hurry to get Jones back on the field.

Tashard Choice actually started Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, but quickly gave way to Murray. The Cowboys have not declared a starter for Sunday against the Eagles, but even if Murray is not the official "starter" (unlikely) he will get a heavy work load. And considering the Eagles rush defense is dicey at best, this is a great game for Murray to roll up another solid rushing performance.

Choice will still get some carries, but he has little fantasy value. Technically, he could be a handcuff to Murray, but Choice is even losing carries to Phillip Tanner. He is in somebody's dog house and he won't be out any time soon.
