Eagles Clinch NFC East Title Against Cowboys

Kenny Pickett filled in as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial game against the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team to a 41-7 victory and clinching the NFC East title. Despite speculation about his health, with cornerback Darius Slay suggesting Pickett played with broken ribs, he demonstrated resilience by completing 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game in the third quarter. Pickett's performance included a significant 22-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, which helped establish a 14-7 lead. His effort was praised by teammates, highlighting his determination to contribute in the absence of the injured Jalen Hurts, who is still in concussion protocol. The Eagles now aim for a strong finish to secure a top playoff seed, needing to win their final game against the New York Giants. Hurts is expected to remain sidelined until at least Week 18, depending on the team's playoff positioning.
